It didn’t take long, but now all the major US carriers have raised the change fee for non-refundable domestic tickets from $150 to $200. United started things off, and Delta, US Airways and American followed shortly thereafter. Some fellow members of the blogosphere are…
US Airways is out with an interesting offer this morning. Through June 23, 2013 they are offering up to 100% bonus on miles earned through various US Airways partners. This is no Grand Slam promotion (the mother of all US Airways promotion) but frequent…
The US Airways World MasterCard isn’t a primary card for me, but it does occupy a spot in my wallet. I applied for the card because of its generous sign-up bonus but don’t use it for everyday purchases (or my infrequent US Airways travel, for that…
It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that I’m skeptical about the American-US Airways Merger. And, it really isn’t all just about US Airways, either. When Delta and Northwest merged, their elites generally weren’t very happy. But, everyone survived. Then, United and Continental…

Back when the Grand Slam was the coolest promo out there, sites like E-Rewards and e-Miles were quick ways to generate “hits” towards a big pile of miles. My interest in those sites waned a bit when Grand Slam took a hiatus. I got…
A million points can go a long way to traveling in style for quite some time. Is there anyone who wouldn’t want a million points? Didn’t think so. I was just informed that Points.com is giving away 3 million points. They’re giving away 1 million…
