📰 Scoop: Alaska is raising fees on award tickets soon. And Alaska is eliminating points earnings on Saver fares. Here's when these changes go into effect and how to avoid the higher fees: awardwallet.com/news/alaska-at…
@CleverIv Yep! Amex responded that it was just "maintenance" and restored it around 1pm Eastern Time yesterday. I've updated the story :)
Rut roh. Amex just removed an airline transfer partner with zero notice. This comes shortly after Amex lowered the transfer ratio to Emirates and Qantas — and shortly before it removes Etihad as a transfer partner. Not a great look for the Amex program😬 awardwallet.com/news/amex-memb…
MAY: - Flight miles: 1,613 (including 807 in biz/first) - Flights: 2 - Airlines: 1 (Royal Jordanian) - Airports: 2 Cost: - $120.80 out-of-pocket - 22,500 Alaska points (15k in biz one-way, 7.5k in economy for the return) Very quiet month after a ton of traveling in April 😅
APRIL: - Flight miles: 26,190 (including 17,143 in biz/first) - Flights: 15 - Airlines: 8 (Airlink, FlySafair, South African, Qantas, Jetstar, Seair, Alaska Airlines, ITA Airways) - Airports: 16 Cost: - $831.72 out-of-pocket - 137.5k Alaska points - 95k Aeroplan - 20k AAdvantage
2026 month-by-month flight recap: JANUARY - Flight miles: 15,213 (including 12,757 in biz/first) - Flights: 8 - Airlines: 6 (American, British Air, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Turkish, Cathay Pacific) - Airports: 11 - Cost: $2,075.02 plus 85k Turkish miles, 14k United, 12.5k AAdvantage
@emalevin Yep, as I updated my post. Good to see that Dan's Deals still isn't giving credit for breaking news though 🙄
@franc_neb Yup. I agree that Elliott Management decided to ruin Southwest's competitive advantage. But for travelers who still fly Southwest out of convenience, one of these cards can be a very useful tool.
Southwest just launched new elevated card offers up to 90,000 bonus points. If you're a Southwest flyer, Southwest cards are more useful than ever to get free checked bags, free seat selection, earlier boarding, and other Southwest perks; awardwallet.com/credit-cards/s…
@AHecta1 100%! I've had a Schwab checking account since 2014. Gotten over $500 in ATM reimbursements over all of those years. For those not in the know: awardwallet.com/credit-cards/c…
Foreign ATMs are getting more and more aggressive with their currency conversion messaging. But stay strong and always deny these rip-off rates. This withdrawal posted to my bank account at $95.29 vs. the $103.48 amount if I accepted the ATM's conversion rate.
@AshValeCommuter Lol same. It completely ignores my FCO entry on April 29.
Katie and I entered the Schengen Zone a month ago. At the time, FCO's EES system said I had 91 days left. Today, I entered Schengen via ATH. After an hour wait (with announcements blaming EES for the wait), the immigration officer claimed the system said I had 93 days left 😂
@tmount @hanchicago Fines and potential barring from entering the Schengen Zone in the future 😬 So I'm not messing around with these restrictions.
@kingstontoon It seems some countries are taking the system seriously (e.g. Germany, Austria, even Slovakia) and other countries aren't actually using it. My complaint is that Athens is blaming the EES system for delays when it doesn't seem to actually be using it at all!
@kingstontoon Americans only get 90 out of 180 days - so both 91 and 93 are more than the limit. Also, I've entered using the EES several times. So my count should be well under 90 days in the system, even if you only look back the past couple of months.
@hanchicago Yeah as long as you are flying intra-Schengen, there are no issues* *Unless you're doing something weird like flying Ethiopian from Stockholm to Oslo From memory, our experiences so far: Good in CDG Ok in FCO Bad in ATH, ARN
