You'll get the United credit card if you like travel and you live in a city where United offers the most service. I've argued that's wrong, and American Airlines identified the reason why to the SEC.

It's a great example of the genre of travel writing 'how to upgrade' that contains advice which is 100% completely, patently false (you don't get a business class seat just by pretending it's your honeymoon).
