Articles

Here are the articles for this edition:

Amex Makes it Easier to Redeem Reward Dollars on Blue Cash Cards – DoC
This is a good move on Amex’s part but they need to do more in my opinion.  Get rid of the delayed rewards posting.  There is not reason for them to post the following month or at least show this months point earning on the bill but let it post the following month.  It is difficult to track at this point.
New Boeing 777 will have folding wings – CNBC
I can see the delays now – uh we can’t get the wings to fold folks…looks like we are gonna have to hoof it to the gate!
Is American Express Getting Too Bold – Even Cocky? – Running with Miles

American Express isn’t what they used to be that is for sure!  They are the easiest approval in the biz though so they still are first in something ;).

Amazon is Banning Shoppers For Too Many Returns – Danny the Deal Guru

This is good news for resellers maybe not so great news for customers.  Although I have a feeling that you need a pretty high rated of returns for this to happen.

Have I Lost My Mind, Or Is It The Airlines? – Pizza in Motion

American Airlines is the worst at this.  The award prices rarely match up with the cash price.  50,000 miles for a $250 is insane.  But that is why you need to have some flexible points so you can book the cash price for under 17,000 points via a portal etc. It is getting harder and harder to use traditional miles for domestic travel.

Conclusion
