Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Unless someone with more money than sense buys the airline you probably are.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Interestingly when I used my US contactless card in the UK this month I got over the £30 limit. It seemed the US limit applied wherever the card was used.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I use Delta Vacations and bundle the flight tickets and car rental into a package. The Audi with CDW cost me $153 for 15 days. :thumbup:

Most of the airlines do package deals, as does Expedia.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Fortunately I will not have to deal with that. The deal I got through Delta Vacations the Focus cost me $153 for 15 days, and it included CDW.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Steerpike if they have given you a lesser vehicle you should be entitled to a refund of the difference in rental between the two classes.

I'll be picking up a rental at Manchester (Enterprise), an...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I tend to value UR points at 1c as that is what I can exchange them for against Amazon purchases. 1.5c if used to purchase travel from Chase, but I find they inflate the prices they charge against...

Thomas Cook and Condor are owned by the same company. TC flies to UK, Condor is based in Germany and links to LH flights. TC was originally a package holiday charter company. They fit in between low...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

and they can book you to the UK on Lufthansa all on the same ticket. So hopefully it will be the same with award tickets.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Tonrob,

If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards earned through one card and then get a second Ultimate Rewards card. Is that two separate rewards accounts, or do the rewards pool in one account?

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Just applied and was approved, even showing up in my online Chase account already. Will cancel at least one other Chase card to save on the fee, and hopefully use the $300 travel credit each year, to...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Very similar to Delta who now base the miles you earn on how much you spend, not the flight distance. Also Delta doesn't publish how many miles you need for free flights. You have to search online...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Don't be so sure you will not get reward flights in June. I've just booked a trip back to the UK in June and there were plenty of reward flights on United. I had enough points for one free ticket and...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Just a thought look on United. If they have awards flights when you want them you can open a Mileageplus account and transfer the Chase points 1 for 1.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

In the current market that often isn't much choice. Often those are the routes that come up when you request award travel. As an example I wanted to go PDX - MAN business on United. The route is...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

You can transfer the points into the BA Executive Club program. Or you can call the Ultimate Rewards travel number, or go online, and use the points towards a ticket on just about any airline.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I was thinking in terms of the airline specific perks. Free bag, priority boarding, lounge passes.
