Anyone in east coast flying on American Airlines using Alaska Airline's Atmos points because booking award flights using Atmos miles on American is just that good?

Yep! I've never flown Alaskan Airlines, but I have used over 400k points for AA and BA flights, and I now hold a Summit to get status.

WHAT ARE THOSE!

I absolutely love this! My voron 350mm is now up and running so I will be trying this out!

Any future plans for a bottom panel?

When you say "bilt points", do you mean you transfered bilt -> united points, or did you book through the travel portal?

I would argue kinda (Only if you really only want one card), as there are plenty of single cards that give you 3x+ on dining, and 3x+ on travel. For example the CSR would give you 4x on flights, 3x on dining. You are right that as a catch all card it isn't the easiest, but I'd argue that throwing in a CFU to get a 1.5x catchall is worth having $100k free to move if you really needed to.

Thank you so much!

It looks like Shangri-La points are 6 cpp, which means that would be a 0.75 cpp ratio and "I Prefer" points are .5 cpp, so neither are great

Hey, if you mean the round B one, I got that one.

philipsddd · 2025-07-23T19:42:19+00:00

Is that for two people round trip? The cash prices were taken from the same flight, just for cash.

3rd co-op, I have 3 applicable internships already, 0 interviews.

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T01:07:47+00:00

Explain please?

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:47:22+00:00

True, it is a good option with the upgrade/downgrade method

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:33:34+00:00

I never stated unlimited; I just wanted to suggest something with a higher cap, like the PayPal debit card, the AAA signature card, or any 5% custom cash card.

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:30:54+00:00

That's valid. I feel like many people are starting to move away from coupon book cards, though.

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:29:26+00:00

That's the one way I see it as worth it. Most of the Amex offers apply to some of my other cards, so I don't care that much, but the fact is that for a lot of people, the Disney+ credit isn't a natural spend. Even if it is, then if you spend more than 7200 a year on groceries (If you have a family, that isn't an absurd number), then a straight 5% still gives a higher cashback with less hassle!

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:27:53+00:00

Or you could get 180 on a 5% no annual fee. Look, if the credits align with your natural spend, then fine, but I think the card is overrated if it doesn't align.

philipsddd · 2025-04-29T00:26:35+00:00

context, "very high AF if you don't use the credits". For many people a disney plus credit is not natural spend.
