November 17, 2014 By Leana 6 Comments

An update: UR points no longer transfer to Amtrak and Avios 4,500-mile domestic redemptions are no longer available as of February 2nd, 2016.

November 5, 2014 By Leana 1 Comment

I’ve mentioned in my last week’s post that we were finally able to successfully book flights for my in-laws from Germany to Italy. However, we still needed to take care of our flights from Munich to Naples. In fact, that’s the reason I got the increased bonus on Chase United Mileage Plus card. The only […]
