- How do you get those $1 Megabus tickets? by Miles Writer. Good tips and I love IFTTT for this type of ‘hacking’. Not a big fan of purchasing multiple $1 tickets that you don’t know you’ll use as it makes the tickets more expensive for everybody else.
- What’s Like Living In Doha Qatar Right Now With The Current Situation by Muslim Travel Girl. It’s always interesting to read in country reports on this type of thing.
- A (Somewhat Pricey) Shortcut To IHG Hotels Elite Status by Pizza In Motion. We’ve mentioned this briefly before, sure it won’t last forever but might be useful if you need to top off an account for elite status. Keep in mind IHG status isn’t that useful.
- American Issuing Refunds for Improperly-Collected British Airways Fuel Surcharges by View From The Wing. Good work by Gary on this.

Agreed.
Also, I despise Megabus. For the route between Boston and New York I recommend Lucky Star with tickets that are often $5 or $8 booked on the day.
I've had gone experience using Megabus in the past but as always YMMV, never used Lucky Star but will keep it in mind for the future.
Qatar "situation" likely to ease further now... "President" Mattis just ignored DT with a massive arms sale to Qatar. VP (*tic) Tillerson has also been quite the contrarian.... seems Mattis & Tillerson didn't get the Saudi/UAE memo about Qatar being the root of all terror. Likely to add further (downward) pressure on energy prices.... More "bad" news.
has nothing to do with terror ; Qatar is the largest supplier of LNG in the region....and the Saudis are broke. They want in. This all happened right after Trumps meeting with the Saudis. The whole terror sham is a veil to hide the real motivation....money.
If you need less than 25,000 then you'd be getting >2 IHG per UR, which isn't insanely bad. Since you get 25k IHG points when you hit Spire.
Other than that, not much of a play there.
Taken to the extreme, if you need 1k to hit Spire you'd be getting 26 IHG pts per UR!
