Articles

Here are the articles for this edition:

Club Carlson is No More – Make Way for Radisson Hotel Group – Press Release

This change makes sense since their brand is pretty much built around Radisson.  Too bad it won’t improve their hotels too….

Using Chase Sapphire Reserve’s Car Rental Insurance – Frequent Miler

A thorough breakdown of filing a claim with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card.  Hopefully you never need to use it but primary insurance is offered on most premium Chase cards, including the Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred as well.  Being able to decline auto rental company’s insurance helps cover some of the card’s annual fee.

Should People Still MS With Delta Cards for Status – Free-quent Flyer

Something to consider for the people who MS on Delta cards for the extra 10K in MQM and miles.  With Amex’s RAT team on the prowl who knows if that will be an option going forward.  I think this will only hurt their already struggling credit card department.  I get it for sign up bonuses but for regular spend earn your fees and get paid!

Estimate Your Personal Breakage – Milenomics

Banks and stores plan on breakage to make a profit.  When you purchase those 3rd part or Visa gift cards they are planning on a percentage of them to go unused.  It is interesting to consider what our personal breakage is.  Probably more of a task for the big spenders and heavy MSers out there but something everyone should consider before diving in.

Finally there is an Amtrak promo going on your can find the details HERE
