Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses for March

There's no quicker and easier way to earn a large amount of miles quickly than with a new credit card. And before the holidays is the perfect time to get one, because it's even easier than the rest of the year to meet the minimum spending required to earn signup bonuses.

Every month I post what I find are the best signup bonus offers out there. Over the past several months we've seen several that are new and bigger. As a result there are a bunch of great cards to sign up for.

United Gate Agent Gives Passengers a Great Pregame Speech

Yesterday morning a United gate agent in Atlanta 'sounds like a coach' giving a pregame speech commends his team passengers for making it to the plane on time. "You're here, you're on time. I'm commending you for it. I'm high-fiving you for it," he says.

Passengers aren't supposed to be able to board the wrong plane. Boarding passes are scanned at the gate. There's a manifest -- airlines know how many people are supposed to be onboard.

New Airline With First Class: Air Peace Got Itself a 777 and Plans to Fly to Houston

Air Peace is a 5 year old carrier based in Lagos, Nigeria. They've only been flying internationally for a year (their first service beyond Nigeria was to Accra, Ghana). They fly mostly Boeing 737s.
