Battle of the Cards: Introduction to Credit Card Trifectas
For those familiar with credit card rewards, it can make a ton of sense to pair cards together to maximize your earning. For a while, the “Chase Trifecta” was considered the best trio of cards for earning. However, with this year’s changes to the Amex Gold Card and Citi Double Cash, is there a new top trio? Over the next week, we’ll be breaking down the best card trifecta from each of the three major banks:...
Does it Make Sense to Use a Cheap Flight Alert Service?
We all love a great flight deal. For some of us, it’s a chance to visit a new destination we didn’t think was possible. For others, a chance to visit family or friends. However, in our increasingly busy lives, it seems like there’s less time in the day to search for those deals. A few weeks ago, an incredible first class deal from Qantas popped up. The deal was for round trip airfare from Bangkok to Australia for...

Confirmed: Citi Double Cash Earns ThankYou Points
Last week, we heard rumblings that the Citi Double Cash Card would soon have the ability to earn ThankYou Points. There were even rumors that points earned on the Double Cash card would transfer to ThankYou Points at a 1:1 ratio, effectively giving you the ability to earn a minimum of two points on all spend. However, as is the case with most things Citi, it was best to expect the worst and hope for the best. What is the Citi Double...

Review: MasterCard Lounge, Prague Terminal 1
Prague’s Václav Havel Airport is a great airport for Priority Pass members. The airport has a total of four priority pass lounges – two in Terminal 1 and two in Terminal 2. Our flight was departing from Terminal 1. Usually, this gives you the option of the Menzies Aviation Lounge and the MasterCard Lounge. Our flight was leaving at 7am, so the MasterCard Lounge won by process of elimination. The Menzies...
How to Book a Nested 2-in-1 Trip
We’ve seen countless cheap premium cabin fares from Europe to the US. However, cheap flights from the US to Europe seem to be much less common. That’s great for people that live in Europe, but doesn’t really help you if you live in the US. Buttttt you still want in on some of those sweet, sweet premium cabin deals. Are you out of luck? NO! Of course not! What do you mean by a “nested 2-in-1 trip”? Before...
Booking for Cathay First and Business WIDE OPEN (Including Olympics)
Cathay Pacific is one of my favorite airlines in the world. They have a fantastic business class seat and one of the world’s best first class products. However, award availability can be incredibly tough to come by. Especially in first class. Luckily for us, that’s not the case today. Cathay Pacific just released a TON of premium cabin space on flights between New York (JFK) and Hong Kong. With...
Are Low Cost Carriers Better Than Legacy Carriers in Europe?
Flying around the States can be a bit of a nuisance. While transatlantic economy fares have never been lower, domestic fares can still seem high. Especially if you live in a city that is hub captive. After spending my entire life in the states, I moved to the UK last summer. Since then, it’s made me realize that low cost carriers (LCCs) in Europe aren’t all that bad. In fact, in some...
Booked: The World’s Cheapest (and Most Obscure?) Business Class Redemption
We recently shared a post about how to get a credit card as an expat. It’s a pretty simple way to continue earning American Express Membership Rewards while abroad and something I’ve personally taken advantage of. From that, we’ve earned over 50,000 points on our Gold Card in less than a calendar year. 20,000 of those points came from the sign-up bonus, while the rest has come from spend. I’m not cheap to feed....
