Airline Rewards Programs & Deals Thread

Check the costs. Sometimes it's worth just buying the ticket and upgrading with miles depending on tix price.

Right now the roundtrip First Class rate per person is only about 200.00 more then the economy ticket price. I am new to something other then the Southwest Greyhound bus program so figuring this all out is a challenge.

I can put it all down on paper for you this weekend on when it makes sense.
 
Fwiw I upgraded to first class for the msp trip. It was $129 each way so it was not worth using the miles, but did get me an extra checked bag free which works when bringing 4 bags
 
Booking some leisure travel and am still amazed at how far Southwest miles go. less than 5k miles to get back from Vegas which is really nothing in terms of the rate in which I earn them for traveling
 
Some of theirs and AA super saver fares are crazy good.
 
The Citi AA Redemption Bonus is pretty sweet. If you redeem miles, you get 10% back if you have the Citi AA Card. Just used 30k in miles to upgrade a bunch of flights.

Tampa to Dallas
Dallas to LAX
San Diego to Chicago
Chicago to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh to Miami
Miami to Tampa

It was 30k in miles and I immediately got the 3k desposited right back in. Doesnt sound like much, but it adds up.
 
JetBlue announced a new route yesterday, Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale nonstop. November - February is on sale now, $49 each way. Jumped all over it. Sweet deal.

And if they have the Mint Seats even better.
Might make it easy for you to make THP Events.
Although we have one in your home state this year and none in FT Lauderdale.
 
For you AA rewards members, here is a quick way to earn 1000 miles.

I know Fupresti has switched to AA, hopefully he grabbed this 1k miles.
 
Frontier Airlines is currently offering a deal that is "nuts". The promo code is: DEEZNUTS

They finally showed up a few weeks ago.
 
Just looked at my Amex Platinum just deposited miles that I'm not sure where they came from, but I have over 100000 miles now for travel. Not bad at all.
 
I just got an offer for an Amex Platinum (I think). The 100K miles look really good. The annual fee, not so much.

If you are a pay in full guy each month it's a tremendous card. There are a few really good ones at that level too.

I agree. The discipline has to be there. Linking my AA account has them paying for my checked bags fees and I've already used it a few times.

The perks are awesome. Big fan of the AA card at the same annual fee that I have looked into as well.
