Churning

🦄 UNICORN FARE ALERT 🦄

Emirates First Class (with shower and bar onboard!) for 2 from JFK to Milan on the A380 for 102k miles each way in January 2026

Book via Emirates or Qantas ASAP

Getting back into the churning game to accumulate Alaska miles and get the family out to Seattle this year. Seems like a great time because you can get 280k miles between Alaska and Hawaiian if you're playing 2 player mode across both cards.

Booked flights for all 6 of us with these points yesterday, mission accomplished! Now to figure out if there's any viable way to book a vacation rental with points... it's not looking promising.

I can happily say that the Amex Platinum airline credit still works in 2025 with United Travel bank! $200 refunded already (4x$50 purchases) :)

United TravelBank still works as a way to use Amex Platinum Airline Credit as of Jan 9 2025

PSA: don’t forget to use your Amex Platinum $50 Saks credit (and any other quarterly or annual credits) by midnight tonight!

Any recommendations for where to transfer Bilt points to for max value? 

Thinking the monthly transfer bonus they have with airline partners is the way to go, but suspect someone here may know better.

Waiting for Amex to link my ANA account and then waiting for the points to transfer over and hoping that the availability doesn’t disappear in the meantime 🤞🏻

no matter how much money i would make, you will never see me flying first / business class before i'm 40

you can use the funds in like 1000 more productive ways than buying comfort for a few hours

a cost of one first class flight can buy you a year of workouts with a personal trainer which will delay the necessity for sitting in the first class for another 5 years

pure destruction of capital

Berlin

5% cashback (in europe!) 🤯
switching to gnosis pay

*There is a maximum spending limit of EUR 20,000 per user per month. This program is only available so long as the reward pool grant of 10.000 GNO lasts

5% cashback on all purchases is a sweet deal, seems to be a short-term incentive but would still definitely jump on this if I was in Europe

Excited to see more providers experiment with credit card-like rewards to incentivize onchain consumer spending

welp

I finally got off the waitlist for the robinhood 3% cashback credit card

Being able to generate one off virtual cards is a killer feature

Anyone here use Bilt to pay their rent? If so, how has it been? If not but you’ve looked into it, why’d you decide against?

🦄 UNICORN FARE ALERT 🦄

First Class for the same price as Business in Qatar Qsuites

Fly direct to Doha and connect onward to Bangkok, Maldives, Perth, and SE Asia from 85k Qatar Avios, best availability May-June '25

Transfer from Amex or Citi to Qatar or from Bilt, Cap One, Chase, or Wells to British Airways

Rip today to the curve mastercard, imo the greatest advancement in consumer fintech since Bilt conned Wells Fargo into giving everybody 1% back on rent til 2029. 

i will always love you

looks like a really sweet deal from chase
