Egypt Will Stop Issuing Visas On Arrival

Egypt's got 99 problems. Too many tourists ain't one of them, post revolution.

Are Points Transfers Really Irreversible? Two Attempts to Prove the Impossible

Whenever you are about to process a points transfer from a flexible rewards currency to one of the corresponding bank’s transfer partners, you will get a warning indicating that once the points transfer is requested, it will not be possible to reverse. Over the last couple of months, I have unintentionally tested the reversibility of […]

Changes To Earnings Rates On British Airways Credit Card

Just a couple of days ago I wrote about the British Airways Visa Signature® Card, which I consider to be pretty lucrative.

In that post I explained why I'd recommend picking up the British Airways Visa Signature® Card:

-- The card offers a sign-up bonus of 50,000 Avios after spending $2,000 within three months

-- The annual fee is $95, though is waived the first year

-- You're eligible for the card if you haven't received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 24 months (so if you had the card a long time ago you should still potentially be eligible to apply)
