any reason my wife should NOT to the 100,000 point signup bonus with amex? we are new to the CC game, but thanks to you guys we both did the CSR 100,000 signup (before the year ended so we got the $300 travel credit for '16 and '17). We were going to cancel her card and add her to mine, but now I am wondering if we should go with amex for her instead. she threw away the offer (doh) but I was going to see if she qualified online. If so, what do you all think?

Most points cards are overrated, unless you redeem the points for international travel.

At some point, very frequent travelers would see Amex Platinum as the better choice.
Long live the AmEx Plat bandwagon

They will (disregard one).
You just have to lead them into it. They don't offer it up right off the bat because they see 5 and say "Nope" and that's the investigation until you raise the concern. I play it dumb because, well, in this game you should never act like you are winning and ruining it for yourself/others.
You never say "I read on the internet and other people are doing it, blah blah"

He is right that at some point it does become a better choice, like if you fit a specific niche demographic that is incredibly rare

Just got an email from Korean about a joint venture with Delta. I'm guessing that means no more 25k RT trick?

I just called and had 3 AU accounts. Guy took off all 3 and let me reapply.

OH NO!, You're stuck in Hawaii!
Hopefully you get some more run out of that.

Why do you think so?

Korean Air and Delta will lay the groundwork for implementing all aspects of the joint venture, subject to regulatory approvals, including:
Expanded codesharing in the trans-Pacific market
Joint sales and marketing initiatives in Asia and the United States
Colocation at key hubs with seamless passenger and baggage transit experience
Enhanced frequent flyer benefits, providing customers of both airlines the ability to earn and redeem miles on Korean Air's SKYPASS and Delta's SkyMiles programs
Increased belly cargo cooperation across the trans-Pacific
Seems they will be as one and that means the same # of miles on each carrier? I hope not.

Hope that's not the case. Wife and I took advantage of this twice already (to Maui, Oahu) and already have a trip booked for Kauai in February.

Not sure what that means because you can already earn and redeem one's miles on the other.
But yeah, you are right to be weary of any "enhancement" in the airline loyalty industry. This is an excellent sweet spot and I hope it remains intact.

I know I've probably asked you before but do you know of any like that for Asia or Europe?
Posted on 6/28/17 at 8:34 am to Sho Nuff
Asia doesn't really have any good deals in economy through transfers because econ tix are so cheap. Better to book through UR portal at 1.5c. Biz however - ANA RT (105K) and RTW awards are great.
Best deal for Europe is AS off peak. I think that is 20K one way on off peak months and there is a way to game that by making an itinerary with one leg in an off peak month and the rest peak.
