- Profits From Store-Branded Credit Cards Hide Depth of Retailers’ Troubles by New York Times. It’s amazing how much of the profit these cards are generating. I wish consumers would better educate themselves on how appalling these cards really are.
- Kansas City woman says she was forced to pee in a cup on United flight by Kansas City Star. A lot of unanswered questions here. Why did nobody else report seeing somebody pee into a cup? Does this person have a diagnosed medical condition? What should airlines do in this situation?
- Alaska Mileage Plan Introduces “Elite Leave” For New Parents by One Mile At A Time. I suspect that parental leave is good business and they also get some positive press out of it. Win/win.
- Reader No Home Just Roam was targeted for 1,000 Amtrak points for enrolling in promotional e-mails. They were opted out of all e-mail types but opted in for the two snail mail options so might be worth changing your preferences to see if you get a similar offer.
40% of Macy’s profits from the credit cards?? WTF.
How is that airline’s fault?
She should have been wearing diapers if she had an overactive bladder or should have emptied her bladder in preparation for the descent.
She should have thought of that especially if she is a nurse.
I think you’re missing the point.
The point being that everyone is looking for a buck by finding some PR angle for a reason to sue an airline now?
Mm no not the point
Yes, exactly the point. She’s just another sleazebag capitalizing on their own stupidity and spinning it to try and drum up $ympathy
I got the Amtrak one too (I’ve gotten it in the past, but never gone through with it). Any good uses for 1,000 Amtrak points?
