We’re back with a great talk between Robert and I on the following:
0:22 Follow Up: Alaska Status Match (last discussed Ep 68)
06:13 Amex Churnability and Employee Offers
- Cards used to be much more churnable
- Popups abound now. Wish there was a way to get rid of them by force
- 15k for $4k is the new thing
- Business Platinum (link)
- Business Gold (link)
- Blue Business Plus (link)
- Be sure to use the correct link for the card you’re adding it to, data points say using a mismatch won’t work.
9:39 Main Topic: Partner Awards
- JetBlue/Qatar/Hawaiian
- ITA/Virgin Atlantic/FlyingBlue
- Alaska Partner Award Consolidated Charts
- Discuss: The lottery element in these, the lack of “wide open” availability, and the eternally evolving complexity of it all
22:54 Tip of the Week: Book JAL Premium Economy w/Alaska Miles
- Reasonable in miles and only $20-$55 in fees (no fuel!)
