Here are the articles for this edition:

WOW air To Launch $149 Flight Deal – PR Newswire

Wow will be launching $149 flights this Spring to Europe from JFK and EWR.  It may be worth booking a cheap positioning flight to take advantage of the deal if you don’t live in the NYC area. Destinations include:

  • EWR to Amsterdam (AMS), Berlin (SXF) and Paris (CDG)
  • JFK to London (STN), Paris (CDG) and Amsterdam (AMS).
Wow Having a 25% off Spring Sale – SlickDeals

Another wow entry.  If you were planning on flying them this Spring book by March 4th to get 25% off.

Amazon is Buying Ring for over $1 Billion – Dans Deals

I find it most interesting that all of the members of Shark Tank passed up a chance to buy 10% of this company.  Even uber successful people get it wrong!  Amazon has been on a roll lately buying up Whole Foods and offering 5% on the Amazon credit card at Whole Foods.  They even took a look at buying Boxed.com who thinks I am a bad customer :).

Chase Sapphire Reserve Statistics After Year 1 – Doctor of Credit

I expected the CSR’s year 1 numbers to be good but not this good.  With 90% plus renewals don’t expect the 50,000 bonus to increase anytime soon.  I guess that means the CSP will continue to be the better card in year 1!

Largest Plane in the World Photos – Business Insider

Thanks to Carl P. to letting us know about this on our Facebook page.  The wings span longer than a football field.  Craziness!  If you enjoy checking out new planes this is worth a look.

 

One last one from Miles to Memories…the best card on the market in my opinion, the American Express Blue Business Plus, has a 10,000 point referral bonus right now.  It normally comes with no sign up bonus so strike now if you have been waiting.
