- Interesting comment on reddit about a possible revamp of the Citi Prestige. Citi has said they don’t want to compete in the rewards space any longer due to the competitive heat, but I don’t see how Prestige can be a successful product trying to run the same model of 0% introductory APR offers they are running on other cards.
- How to Travel More for Fewer Miles With the United Excursionist Perk by The Points Guy. Really loving Richard Kerr’s contributions over there. If you want to see just Richard’s posts they can be found here.
- Readers are reporting receiving a $50 statement credit in addition to the 45,000 point sign up bonus on the Wyndham cards. No idea why.
- How to Become TripAdvisor’s #1 Fake Restaurant by Vice. I usually find a lot of stuff on Vice to be clickbait, but I really enjoyed watching this one. I do think that Tripadvisor makes some valid points at the end regarding it being easier to manipulate a fake restaurants ratings but still embarrassing for them.
Richard Kerr does great stuff. He got together with AwardWallet and created the AwardTravel101 Facebook group and has been pretty active in that recently too.
That article on TPG was basically lifted from better articles on TIF posted like a year ago.
What’s TIF? I thought this was an excellent post by Richard Kerr.
