The best points-earning Citibank card has its biggest signup bonus. It has a $0 annual fee the first year, $95 thereafter.

$1 Buys Both 1000 American Miles and Long-term WSJ.com Access

About five years ago I took advantage of a free 6 month trial subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I have no interest in a paper copy, but I do value access to articles behind their pay wall. And I still have that access. That’s because I suspend paper delivery of my subscription. You can do that for two months at a time. When they aren’t delivering the paper they aren’t decrementing the remaining days on your subscription you still have full access to website content. Many people are more interested in the miles offered for trial subscriptions, and take advantage of various shopping portal signup offers. Right now for instance Frequent Miler points to a $1 offer for a two month Journal trial that earns 1000 American AAdvantage miles. This offer should be...

Win Cash Prizes on ‘The Amazing Race for Regular People’

Many of you know that I offer an award booking service. It grew too big to handle on my own, and I was fortunate enough to be able to partner with one of the real veterans and gurus in the frequent flyer game, Steve Belkin (known in online forums as 'beaubo').

Steve is most famous for exploiting loopholes in frequent flyer programs like Aeroplan and United's MileagePlus in a truly big way, scaling opportunities to earn millions instead of thousands of miles. And in that pursuit he has hired disable Thai rice farmers to fly in and out of the Golden Triangle area of Thailand, and New Zealand college students to fly to Europe for the summer.

Big Changes at Air India: Flight Attendants Have to Share Hotel Rooms, Can’t Upgrade Their Friends

Government-owned Air India is a basket case. Part of the airline's efforts to turn itself focus on cutting back on crew expenses and perks. Some of those efforts are reasonable, while others may be surprising.

American Airlines Stock Hits Two Year: What’s Going On?

American Airlines stock hit two year low. It's down about a third this year. The market doesn't seem to think their strategy is going to deliver results. Investors appear to be mirroring customer sentiment, judging from the comments and interactions I have with readers. It also appears to be mirroring employee sentiment, judging from what I hear from American's front line.

The total value the market places on American Airlines right now is less than $16 billion. In contrast United's market cap is $22 billion. Their stock has gone in the opposite direction from American's this year. Southwest's market cap is $34 billion and Delta's is $35 billion.
