United Takes A Bite Out Of Me And New Award Flights To Tokyo
Boy, it was a rough week for me on the miles and points front! United Airlines decided to take 165K miles from my account. When I called to point out that it was a mistake, United took 15K more miles. It’s still a developing situation, but you can hear more about it on this week’s episode of the Miles to Go podcast.
You’ll also learn about a promotion MasterCard is running with Airbnb that can save you $25 on a tour or experience on your next vacation.
And, we dive into how all the new flights to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport may help you score your next award flight to Asia.

1. Don’t give up on the miles. If it were me, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than the amount you originally planned to book, and courtesy miles on top of that.

Brenton, most of the value I get from elite status is in fee waivers and exceptions on United. That wouldn’t translate to Copa. I usually end up giving my GPU and RPU away to friends or auction them off for charity.
