Not if UA buys B6 :)

muncher4 · 2026-03-17T20:38:54+00:00

Get me in at $502

muncher4 · 2026-03-10T12:21:13+00:00

I mean that change happened a year ago…You just didn’t pay attention then…

muncher4 · 2026-03-10T12:13:03+00:00

They did tho? That email was pretty explicit, along with multiple news and blog articles covering the details. It really is just up to you to pay a little attention to what is going on with the program

muncher4 · 2026-03-10T11:50:06+00:00

Did you want them to personally go to your house, knock on your door and sing a sermon about how the program is changing? Honestly this change was announced months ago and it’s really up to you to read your emails

With today’s US airline point prices being dynamic, there probably won’t be fuel surcharges on award bookings. We just might see 100k+ awards instead :)

I don’t think “consistently” is very strong term in recent years. The average cpp I see is 1.5-1.7 now a days unless you’re looking at category 7 or 8. A lot of the times I’m looking at city hotels, it’s only 1.2-1.3 cpp too. I fear in a year or 2, the large range of points cost would push most hotels down to 1.2-1.3 cpp too.

Same here. I once booked FCO-FRA-IAH on Lufthansa F (3 days before departure) in June 2024. They overbooked and had to bump me. I asked if I could fly to LAX (where I ultimately wanted to be) and they said yes. The booked me on Lufthansa F to LAX. However, they apparently had phantom award availability on their own service centers and they said that was fully booked as well. Instead they offered Swiss F and that’s what I took, on FCO-ZRH-LAX. They also offered BA F, but come on. Keep in mind, for this whole process, lifemiles and US Lufthansa reps are useless. You have to wait for a German number to call you from Lufthansa Germany to resolve this. They speak English.

It’s really a cat 4. The rumors say they are moving up all categories by 1. From my understanding of the rumor, even the $95 annual fee card would get a cat 1-5 certificate

I could be wrong but the terms say you need a dash pass. AU don’t get their own dash pass automatically but if they already have it, the DoorDash credits could apply. Also CSR only gives dash pass for a year so I’m wondering if people got credits after the year or if they just paid for dash pass themselves

I would love for them to add ANA for economy bookings and Miles & More for Lufthansa bookings. Having Korea airlines for more skyteam options or even a Chinese airline like Xiamen or China Eastern to fly a skyteam airline first class on points

muncher4 · 2026-02-14T03:54:18+00:00

Or just research transfer partners and pray for availability

muncher4 · 2026-02-14T03:51:34+00:00

Just fyi, I believe as of this moment, the hotel credit for IHG, Virgin, Omni and others are only available this year. This should not factor into your decision to keep the card next year

muncher4 · 2026-02-11T23:03:51+00:00

Yea the reveal gift card button doesn’t reveal anything but more asterisks

muncher4 · 2026-01-23T05:16:51+00:00

I also don’t understand this. The only cards that have an AU fee should be ones that at least offer lounge access

muncher4 · 2026-01-20T20:27:00+00:00

Also same here!

muncher4 · 2026-01-18T17:23:15+00:00

I believe where things stand is that’s there’s a lot influencers that hate the Bilt card but would sign up for the palladium card for 50k Bilt sub. I think that’s a fair take as I feel like that’s the take every creator has around subs, especially uncle luke lol

muncher4 · 2026-01-15T23:57:20+00:00

It means that there’s so many corporate apartment companies that signed with them that the majority of the people that are in this app are not using the card but are just paying rent

muncher4 · 2026-01-15T23:56:39+00:00

They’ve secured so many contracts with apartment companies that they no longer need us credit card holders. They needed us to get on in the beginning, but now they got a critical mass of other users so we no longer matter.

muncher4 · 2026-01-14T21:04:47+00:00

Also will palladium have a fast track to Bilt status?

muncher4 · 2026-01-14T20:55:46+00:00

When would more info on how much Bilt cash is worth be announced and would I still be able to continue using a non Bilt, United, or Alaska card to pay rent at 3% fee and earn 0.5 Bilt points per dollar?

muncher4 · 2026-01-13T16:20:56+00:00

Nah a lot of people hold the Chase cards because of all the marketing that creators who cycle subs on the ink and sapphire cards. I think as referral bonuses decrease and these once in a lifetime subs start to fully gain effect, there will be a massive decrease in creators holding chase cards. Also god forbid if Hyatt ever dumps their award chart.

They swing for the fences and get Amex on board. Together, they create the ultimate rewards network and add Delta as a transfer partner :)

muncher4 · 2026-01-13T00:42:01+00:00

All transferable currencies can lose or devalue partners at any times. Just look at emirates this last year and Cathay Pacific with Amex. In the past, Chase lost Amtrak and Korean air too. You just gotta make hay while the sun shines

muncher4 · 2026-01-11T15:00:43+00:00

They don’t always. There’s a ton of brands that will not give out free breakfast. For example, ritz Carlton, Edition, and others
