United’s CEO Says Higher Airfares are Good For You (You Just “Don’t Understand”) The President of United Airlines thinks airfares should be twice as expensive as they are today. United's CEO Oscar Munoz takes things a step further: paying United Airlines more is good for you. His argument is that more money for the airline means more money to invest in the product. You as the customer benefit even if you "don't always understand." He has things exactly backwards.

It turns out that the food people want delivered isn't always the same food they want in restaurants, and Uber can leverage excess capacity to produce food at a restaurant by having them make something else they don't normally offer and branding that food as coming from a different restaurant that isn't actually a place you can go.

I'll likely get more than twice each card's annual fee in value out of redeeming them (and on stays where I would have otherwise paid cash or redeemed 35,000 points). I know that some have reported posting of these certificates more quickly. Perhaps mine were just caught up in the Marriott program merger IT debacle.
