That's a smart precaution to take, but it created big operational problems.

When Delta and Northwest merged, the combined Delta became the largest airline leapfrogging United and American. Then United and Continental merged and took over the number one spot.

For some readers booking a $28 ticket to Paris presents a moral challenge: should you take advantage of something you know is a mistake? My own view is that I'm happy to book it, airlines will choose to honor it or they won't, but if they're going to fly people to Paris for $28 I'd like to be one of those people.

It’s great for the signup bonus which used to be 2 free nights at any Hyatt property, but is now 40,000 points after $2000 spend within 3 months. Of course a Hyatt property can cost up to 30,000 points per night for a standard room, but points are more flexible to split up across more room nights or to be used towards suites or on cash and points awards. And points can be transferred to someone else for free. Park Hyatt Hadahaa, Maldives I keep the card, the annual free night up to category 4 is more than worth the card’s $75 annual fee. But the reason to *get* the card is the signup bonus and because Chase doesn’t limit approvals to folks with fewer than 5 new… Continue reading Hyatt Credit Card Customers Can Now Earn Points...

The hottest new credit card over the past year has been the Chase Sapphire Reserve. It's launched as a Visa Infinite card, the third active one in the United States. It offers a trifecta in terms of bonus, strength of earning, and card benefits. Yet I've long been a proponent of the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. Which should you get?
