Using eGates In London:  Arriving in London through Heathrow could be a nightmare since the immigration lines could be hours long.  That is expected to change soon with US citizens, along with other select countries’ citizens being able to use eGates.

Rumor Of Centurion Lounge Coming To PHX:  Amex has been making a nice run of expanding to several airports nationwide.  The latest rumor is that they’re expecting to open a new one at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport.

A Product Change To Consider:  When annual fees are due, you face a decision of whether you think you get enough value out of your card to justify paying the annual fee.  Here’s a situation to where downgrading your card could be rather lucrative.

Trip Delay Protection Example:  Many times you wonder how to use some of the benefits that your credit card offers.  It’s nice to see a real life example of how to use the benefit and whether it works or not.

Excellent Use Of Your SkyMiles:  Over the years SkyMiles have gotten a lot of grief for various reasons.  But, with their recent flash sales and this excellent sale to the Maldives in business class, you could take that rockstar vacation!

Is Marriott Shorting You Points For Stays:  When you book directly with hotels, you earn points for those stays and if you couple that with charging it to the right card, then you have a great opportunity to grow your balance.  There are reports though that Marriott is shorting you points on your stays…

Think Outside The Box With Your Flexible Points:  Many times things aren’t as straightforward as we would like in this hobby.  Dealing with different airlines and alliances can get a little confusing, but digging a little deeper into potential flights could save you a ton of miles!
