Part of the addiction dedication to frequent flying is seeing those mileage counters roll over to zero on New Year’s Day and knowing you have to figure out a way to fly a bunch more flights so you can keep your status for the following year. OF course, ideally you would get your employer to…
A couple of winners from the previous contest came back and couldn’t use their upgrades from Michael and now reader Joe has volunteered a couple of more. They expire and must be flown (not just booked) by 31 Jan. More importantly, they can only be used on a W fare or higher. Photo courtesy United.com…
Thanks to everyone who commented trying to win one of four United GPUs. As I mentioned, these come courtesy of Michael there is more to that story. Michael has written a travel book and I wanted to publish the links so that all of you can check it out as well. Titled “The Millennial’s Guide…
Reader Michael has kindly volunteered to give away Four United Global Premier Upgrades. As with the giveaway before, please read the rules for using these upgrades.

You’ll note that this totals more than the six we had available. But with this great response, I dipped into the pile…
OK, gang, my wife and I have six Guest Gold Upgrades getting ready to expire on 31 Dec. These upgrade instruments for Alaska Air are easier to use than the upgrades on United. However, you still have to know what you are doing. If you already have a reservation on AS, go to your “Trips”…

We are celebrating Veterans’ Day week by extending all of you a generous offer from our reader, Dave. He has five (5) Regional Premier Upgrades (RPUs) and six (6) Global Premier Upgrades (GPUs) on United that expire 31 Jan. 2017 that he would like to give away to a deserving military member or their family! …
Costa Rica has been on the wife and I’s list of places to visit for a while, but Alaska Airlines starting service there sealed the deal to go this year. Why? Because of the fabulous Companion Certificate that comes with the BoA Alaska Credit Card. BTW, we don’t hawk credit cards so see one of…
