    Expert Flyer has more tools aside from award searches.

    It was not designed for user-friendliness the way point.me is.

    Totally different audiences.

    It looks like they’re both British Airways operated flights arriving and departing from LHR T5.

    1 hr is the minimum connecting time for the same terminal connection at LHR.

    British Airways should rebook you if you miss it but you will have to clear security again at LHR and it can take a while.

    There are quite a few ATL airport hotels.

    Home2 Suites, Springhill Suites, AC Hotel, and Renaissance Concourse are all attached to Hartsfield Jackson airport by shuttle train.

    The shuttles run every 2.5 minutes.

    While not near the airport The Shay is likely the better fit.

    We had a trip to the US (from Israel) planned.

    We registered for $12 and found a fabulous car rental deal (in August for November) and more than one really good hotel deals.

    Of course that trip never happened, so I could not find out more benefits….

    January 10, 2024 at 7:05 pm in reply to: Do Cancun Car Rentals Require Third Party Insurance?

    We recently rented in Cabo and third party insurance was required.

    It basically cost the same as our rental.

    It was either that or give them close to a $20,000 deposit.

    They didn’t care about our Chase coverage.

    Take a video of the entire car upon pickup and return and if you do any off paved road driving, which is pretty common in some parts of Mexico, consider getting it detailed before returning it.

    We spent $8 to get the car detailed and were relieved we did because they scrutinized every inch when we returned.

    January 10, 2024 at 5:12 pm in reply to: What Happens To Someone’s Miles When They Die?

    We just updated our wills and there is an “electronic usage clause” in there that allows our trustee to access all electronic accounts.

    It also specifically states that any unused airline/credit card miles can be transferred to heirs.

    I had never seen this before.

    My wills were updated by a Military attorney because my husband is retired Navy.

    April could go either way for snow, though Denver and Boulder are pretty low, so chances are good you’d be okay, but not guaranteed.

    If you fly into Portland, Mt. Hood is super cheap.

    It is in the National Park and local mountain so the prices are super affordable.

    On weekdays, a walk-up lift pass is only $40!

    Nice mountain too with lots of snow.

    First of all never close personal cards if there is no fee.

    Credit history is important.

    Assuming you’re already into a full cash flow stage since you didn’t ask about 0% APR, then the Capital One Spark Cash is the answer.

    It gets 2% cashback.

    Consider two more things:

    1) Churning sign-up bonuses even if only for cash

    2) Cashing out your 2 million points.

    That’s a potential up to $20K in hard cash that you can use to buy more inventory, pay down personal debt, or even just stick it into a high yield checking account.

    Obviously it’s going to depend on your dates, but I have a rental from Liberia airport starting tomorrow for $9/day for 5 days for an economy car.

    Booked it on Priceline.

    It’s with Nu.

    I printed out the proof of insurance letter from Chase in English and Spanish so hopefully it won’t be a huge hassle like it was in Ireland.

    Expert Flyer then.

    I don’t think Point.Me has notifications.

    Not sure about the other sites.
