Miles to Memories Recap
Welcome to the weekly “Best of” Miles to Memories recap series. Here you will find links to all of the still relevant posts from the past week. We saw a ton of limited time deals that ended quickly this past week. Make sure to subscribe to our daily newsletter so you don’t miss out and join our Facebook Group for daily discussion and exclusives not available anywhere else!
This week’s credit card news was pretty interesting. Amex announced changes to the Business Platinum Card that I suspect will be negative for most cardholders. We also covered nice spending offers and Mark’s rationale for considering a pretty tiny upgrade offer. We did a special checklist to remind you which tasks to complete before year end to ensure you take advantage of your loyalty programs, credit card benefits and elite status. The travel section also has a few valuable deals for upcoming hotel stays.
To make the posts in this recap easier to wade through, my “Editor’s Picks” in each section are in bold. If you have questions about anything you read feel free to contact me anytime. Enjoy!
