Are You A Hoarder?:  It seems as if many banks were hoping cardholders would burn through their points at a low redemption rate during the pandemic.  To Amex’s surprise, they’ve found that many have been holding on to their stash of Membership Rewards points in hopes of future travel.

Transfer Bonus To Avios:  Transfer bonuses are a great way to stretch your flexible points even further.  Currently you can get a 30% bonus when transferring this popular points currency to British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus.

Evaluating Open 5/24 Slots:  If you’ve been in this hobby for a while, you know exactly what 5/24 means.  Many choose to wait to get under 5/24 so that they can apply for cards from a particular bank.  However, are you missing out on more lucrative opportunities by doing so?  Think about it…

Maximizing New Amex Credits:  Amex offers monthly credits for cellphone, shipping and streaming services on select cards.  While that seems pretty straightforward, there are some cool tricks that you can use to maximize those credits on “other” items.

New AA Award Cancellation Rules:  There are some positive changes happening with American Airlines’ award cancellation policy.  Considering the times that we’re in, it’s in the airline’s best interest to make these changes.  Check out how awesome these changes are!

South Africa To Welcome All Visitors:  Options are limited for US Citizens as far as international travel is concerned.  South Africa though is planning on opening its borders to all visitors given that they follow certain protocol.  I’ve love to go to South Africa right now!
