- RushCard Glitch Leaves Thousands without Access to Their Money by Low Cards. Kind of ridiculous that unbanked customers have been without access to their funds for more than 10 days now.
- Apple Store Worker Charged With Using Bogus Credit Cards to Buy Nearly $1 Million in Apple Gift Cards by NBC New York News. Apple gift cards resell for 91% of facevalue, so probably one of the best gift cards to steal and resell. Inventory has been decreasing on the resell networks, probably partly due to this guy being busted.
- Here’s What Makes an Airport Lounge Truly Sad: The Club at PHX by View From The Wing. Not sure what Gary is complaining about, most lounges suck. At least this place has free booze.
- 3,000 Bonus Miles For New Air France/KLM Flying Blue Accounts by Double Wides Fly. Title is a bit misleading as you need a flight as well to get the miles.
- Yeah, I Was Completely Wrong About That Hyatt Visa Deal by Travel Codex. This was always going to be an awesome deal for those with lots of Hyatt stays. I really hope they add this as a permanent benefit and increase the AF.
- Thinking about cash-and-points redemptions (is hard) by Freequent Flyer. For me it’s usually just a question of whether I am cash or points poor. I’m almost always points rich in most programs, so I skip cash+points deals unless they are incredible value and I’d actually purchase points at that price point (which is almost never since I have too many already).
- The BMW credit card: how does an uncapped 7.5% category bonus sound? by PFDigest. Not sure how to make this card work, especially with the $50,000 spend requirement before you get the good card. I’m sure somebody will figure it out though.
