- Gift Card Cash Back Laws by Single Flyer. I don’t really agree with trying to use this to manufacture spend, but you should be aware of these laws if you want to get rid of hard to use small gift card balances.
- New Unique Priority Pass Lounge for American Airlines Customers in Philadelphia by View From The Wing. Honestly this “lounge” looks kind of awful. Maximum one hour and doesn’t look great for sleeping in either, can’t believe people pay $40+ for an hour.
- AccorHotels Invests in Turkey-Based Rixos Hotels by Skrift via TBB. I don’t understand why AccorHotels doesn’t want that sweet US co-branded credit card revenue.
- Interesting Conspiracy Theory Regarding Plink & Memolink by Travel With Grant Comments. I have no idea how true this is, but I did find it interesting.
Is there a good reason why merchant GCs are sold at anything less than $10? That would help curb the exploitation. Doesn’t stop someone from purchasing a 35 cent cookie at Burger King to get the balance under $10, but then it at least increases the cost to MS. (Unless you just happen to like cookies from BK. I don’t know what they actually taste like or really even cost.)
Cookies at Burger King are like the bbreast thing ever
Link to the conspiracy story does not work

Will, looks like the word ‘comment’ is misspelled.

Why does serial incompetence have to be diabolical??
And even if it is diabolical – oh well – that’s exactly what the gamers were doing. It’s just Plink flipped the script to game the gamers themselves. Afterall they gotta eat too. Those who were messing around, can’t be too mad about it I reckon.
Fixed now, not sure how that happened.
I would remove the link and mention to the first post about laws. Post like that should not get attention. Just my opinion.
I only included it because actually abusing it is quite difficult and for small amounts not really worth it.
