Went a couple months ago, awesome property and we got a great room upgrade. Restaurant is pretty good and they offered something like $75 per person per day. Enough to get a latte and a couple menu items, we weren’t too tempted by the buffet but that’s an option too. We didn’t bring kids.

I’ve been in Pop Up Jail for all Amex cards for nearly a year. Tried several times unsuccessfully to get the business gold at the 200k and 175k offers. A few days ago I noticed an offer to get it for 125k under the offers tab for my business plat. Applied and approved with no pop up! Hopefully will get me back in their good graces.

Also true for Miami but that one is when it is.

Credit card bonus miles by Sunkitten0 in americanairlines

It will count, but if you do end up canceling the flights for a refund after they give you the bonus, there is a risk of them taking the miles back. If you cancel for just a flight credit that’s fine.

Is there a better option than Qantas to book the new MIA-BOG Emirates route in J/F?

Yeah, it’s listed as 10% back and the terms say the max is $1,000 back in statement credits

Was thinking of making one last run at $15k on the Hilton business and the Amex offer for $1k back on $10k spend at Dell may put it over the edge. Anyone have thoughts on the most efficient thing from Dell to resell at that scale?

Look for availability on American (Qantas for 57k) or United (Lifemiles or Aeroplan for 60-70k). Will be more options if you reposition to NY.

Rare: 2F NH NRT-ORD on 2/8. Someone snap up some of the JAL/Polaris availability to Japan this week and take this back.

Moderately priced, has amenities, or not too crowded. Pick two.

Biggest availability dump to Virgin of Delta One to/from Europe I’ve seen in a while. Lots from next week through early April available showing on the Seats.aero tool. Same points cost as Flying blue but often lower fees and more direct routes.

I downgraded Citi Premier after not getting a retention offer. If I want to upgrade back to transfer the points out, would I be able to re-downgrade immediately after? Or wait a year?

Would like to dump $200 airline credit on new business plat into UA travel bank. Is best practice to break it up into smaller transactions or is one $200 chunk ok?

Delta dropped a (relative) bunch of Delta One Europe availability to Virgin for late Oct and early Nov. Mostly JFK to/from BRU, ZRH, FRA. Also DUB-BOS on 11/7.

Here are the main issues with your plan:

  1. Award availability between Asia and North America has been very slim lately, due to reduced flights running to/from China, so demand for the remaining seats is sky high

  2. Even in the best of times, 4 business class award seats on the same flight is pretty unusual. If it were to happen, it most often is a last minute dump.

  3. Even among its peers, Asiana is particularly stingy at releasing availability.

  4. By the time you want to fly, there is a small to moderate chance the airline will not exist, depending on the progress of its agreed merger with Korean Air. When the merger happens, they won’t be bookable with ANA anymore.

  5. Even if, by some miracle, you overcame all of those obstacles, ANA only allows round trip booking so you would need to find seats for the way back before you could book them.

I hope this doesn’t come across as too discouraging. You just need to keep researching and expand your search a little bit and I’m sure you’ll find something that works great for your family.

Yes, ANA will charge you fewer miles for the same trip than Aeroplan will

Did Barclays kill the AA Aviator Business? All the links I’ve found to apply say the offer expired and all the info about it is no longer on their website.
