HSBC, Get Up To $750 Checking Account Bonus Nationwide – Danny the Deal Guru

5 Great SPG Moment Packages for the Photographer – With Hotel- Running with Miles
How I talked myself around on Chase ending pooled Ultimate Rewards Points – The Free-quent Flyer
Even people who usually go against the grain are starting to see this as a reality. Some good points are made…I am not sure if Chase can afford not to make this change. Hopefully we are all wrong but if we are not then make sure to prepare yourself.
House FAA bill would regulate airline seat size, ban voice calls – USA Today
Hopefully they get this right. It is something that should be addressed for sure. Seat pitch has dropped 35 inches to 31 since deregulation…it would probably continue to shrink too!
Running with Miles with the double link – nice work guys! A good article talking about how points are becoming more cash based. I agree with this and that is why I have said if you are diversified enough you should never pay cash for travel. I have also said I don’t believe in minimum redemptions. With portals and everything else there is almost always a point that can make it a good redemption!
