Frequent Miler

British Airways, Qatar, Aer Lingus, Iberia, Finnair, regional Scottish airline Loganair, and Vueling (a low-cost carrier) all share a common rewards currency: Avios. Strangely, despite sharing a currency, each program has its own loyalty program with differing fees, award prices, and rules. Since they are partners, it’s often possible to book the same flights with multiple programs, but your cost will sometimes vary (either in the number of points required and/or taxes/fees). As a result,

Capital One rebranded and revamped the Spark Miles for Business card a couple of months ago, and it’s now known as the Venture Business card. This week, Capital One changed the welcome offer for the Venture Business. Although the total miles you get has dropped from 150,000 to 100,000, the minimum spend required has also decreased dramatically – from $30k to $10k – which will make this new version much more appealing to many folks.

Chase has kept the card’s low $95 annual fee intact and added excellent new benefits without flooding us with hard-to-use coupons. Again, putting aside the Hyatt issue, Chase’s Sapphire Preferred team dese

The San Diego area is my favorite part of the West Coast, and my favorite part of the San Diego area is the northern part of the county. Stretches of long, empty, cliff-backed beaches alternate between laid-back towns like Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad, and it’s all within easy reach of San Diego proper. It’s a delightful area. A few years ago, when a clifftop Alila Resort opened up just north of Encinitas, I was excited to check it out. I finally had an opportunity to do so
