If you play a 2 player system for miles and points then you might find this of interest. Remember to check for the targeted 125K offer first which is better.  Also remember, do not use our or anyone’s affiliate links for this offer since it is a much worse offer.

U.S. air travel hit post-March peak on day before Thanksgiving – NBC News

Not hugely surprising since the day before Thanksgiving is always one of the biggest travel days of the year. It is still way off the mark of 2.6M people who traveled on the same day last year.

  1. There was earlier a link to the Hyatt card at the bottom when you view on the web. It gave an error “page is not available.” when I clicked on it. Now there is a link to Best Buy now that is working fine. Just trying to help 🙂

  2. Thank you, Mark!
    Actually, it is not as cut and dry from several experiences with family and acquaintances when they had sudden, unexpected deaths of a family member with a stash of miles or points. Some were able to transfer or use, some were not.
    Housekeeping comment: The link to the Hyatt card is broken…

  3. Thank you, Mark, as always. Any ideas about what might be a good reviews or a spreadsheet addressing how different miles and points programs address what happens when the person to whom the miles and points “belong” passes away?

    • I haven’t seen anything on that. I think most people will say to book travel for others, using up the miles or points, before shutting it down. I think even the program reps have told people to do that. Pretty sure they are just lost otherwise most of the time.
