there's a new 35k SPG Biz offer out there. Requires $7k spend in 3 months. May be the last hurrah for the SPG card with the upcoming marrriott merger. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send a referral.

you guys want to hear a first world nightmare story? we've got 2 companion passes. I have lil sd on my, mrs. dave has lil girl sd on hers. so we have to do two separate southwest bookings for every trip. then, whenever SW reduces the points to fly (they do all the damn time) we have to cancel all flights, book two separate reservations again, and add the companions again. it's like an hour en devour at this point each time.

Got my SW companion pass a few weeks ago! Good through end of 2019.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Well I just called SW this morning and they did all of it for me for three flights so you better find a new revenue stream for that app

Hey friends. I haven’t played in a while and I’m thinking of getting a new card. I’m not eligible for CSR or CSP but am under 5/24. Mrs. SF is the current companion pass holder and I’m spending on the Marriott 120k offer. One of the points dudes was talking about the IHG card going away and said I should get it before it does. Should I do this?  I’m debating on keeping the Marriott card after the year but was prob going to do it. The IHG seems like a card you would keep too with the low fee and free room. I pretty much just compile Chase, Marriott and SW points. Should I branch out to IHG since this deal is going away or is this guy just tricking me?

TIA

Thanks for the IHG info. I was a little afraid of Holiday Inns.

Still have never gotten a business card.  :ohno:

oh I'm fine with holiday inns. and they have nice hotels as well. the points are just not that valuable and you don't get enough for the signup. same for hilton.

a few months ago I would've said that the 80k ihg sign up was actually pretty good if you planned it all correctly. because you get one free night a year at any ihg which is nice and often overlooked.

I just used two of those to stay at the times square intercon when rooms were going for $400/night. they also used to have a lot of really good pointbreaks deal for only 5k that they'd throw up once every three months. that list has worsened over the past year though and then finally bottomed out the other month when they revamped the program and have almost no 5ks now and nothing but 10ks that should be 15ks and 15ks that should be 20. that part of the thing is now officially garbage. so yeah they do kind of suck now.

air france.  scott is posting some cheap flight to europe several times a week it seems like.  the (relatively) new cross atlantic discount airlines seem to be having the desired effect.

i enjoy getting a scott's email, then going straight to chase to make a dummy booking, just to see the hilariously few UR's it would take.

for example right now i am one click away from buying a RT to Bali for 41k UR's.

you can fly there in 1st class on a reward ticket for 67.5k UR or 55k in biz. those are one way though.
