I recommend looking into options from big banks like Paribas and Raiffeisen Bank.
Find out about their system and network, along with any associated risks, such as sanctions.
Consider where these cards can be used, how they work, the percentage for currency conversion, and whether it’s worth it at all.

My friend P2 got hers a few days back, roughly four weeks after referring someone and opening an account.

MemberApril 17, 2024 at 9:34 pm in reply to: Anyone Have Experience Flying To Mexico For Dental Work?I’ve been to Medellin, Colombia twice for dental work.
They did a better job than the dentists in the U.S., and it cost a quarter of the price, even compared to using dental insurance in the U.S. .
I don’t pay for U.S. dental insurance anymore.
I’ll just go back to my dentist in Colombia every time.

Zilara is connected to Ziva, and some of the restaurants are on the Ziva side, so it is not entirely kid-free while dining.

It’s a really good hotel, and very convenient.
There are also plenty of other hotels nearby that offer shuttle services.

I Flew from Athens to Cairo with Egypt Air and it was by far the sketchiest airline I’ve ever flown.
From the duct tape to the white tail aircraft to the engines that sounded like a 1976 Pinto, I don’t know if I’d put my life in their hands again.

If you transfer miles in, that will extend them but FYI, I have found LifeMiles extremely difficult to use.
They used to be good.
I booked North America to South Asia multiple times for around 90k miles but now you can’t find anything.
I have 198k miles sitting around waiting to be used.
Frustratingly buggy website, has non-existent customer service, and currently are the worst miles I own.

Oh wow!
Thanks for sharing.
Just used this to book a flight home for my college-aged daughter for spring break.

Carry-on meant for the bins is more tightly controlled.

Partner airline rules and fees apply for your itinerary.

MemberDecember 1, 2023 at 7:47 pm in reply to: Can I Transfer My Bilt Rewards Points To Someone Else?I asked Bilt Chat Support because I had the same question.
According to the Bilt Chat:
“When it comes to transferring points to partner accounts, the transfer IS initiated from your Bilt Rewards account.
You can link your Bilt account to any partner account, regardless of whose name the partner account is in.
So, yes, you can transfer points to a partner account in the name of your authorized user.
Remember, the minimum point transfer is 2,000 Bilt Points for Blue Status members and 1,000 Bilt Points for Silver, Gold, or Platinum Bilt Status members.
All transfers must be done in 1,000 point increments”

Too bad it covers mostly Asia and only Double Points in the US

Only once did I encounter a lounge with a time restriction at San Francisco International Airport, but I simply waited for half an hour and gained entry.
Yes, even if you travel only a few times a year, I believe it’s worthwhile.
It’s much nicer than wandering around the terminal.

Roame and Expert Flyer also have a free tier.
Not sure about the other sites.
