- Breach at Sonic Drive-In May Have Impacted Millions of Credit, Debit Cards by Krebs on Security. Another day, another data breach. It seems like I’ve been saying this more and more recently.
- Swagbucks offering some bonus points for points earned through Discover. I personally only use Swagbucks for the bigger deals that give a one time bonus but if you use Discover then keep in mind these bonuses.
- JetBlue to Decide on Transatlantic Flights by Year’s End, CEO Hayes Says by The Street. Fingers crossed! Would make JetBlue points that much more valuable if flights are priced competitively.
- Delta’s $250K MQD waiver rule. What will I do? What should you do? by Frequent Miler. Nice analysis as always by FM.
I gave my low-usage card to a sonic drive-trough window and next day it was drained in the nearby grocery store. Since there was no other activity on the card for the past year it was very clear that Sonic employee duplicated it. I talked to a supervisor he wouldn’t care much. IMHO the commonality of the stolen cards being previously used in Sonic might be because they take the card out of your sight
I will be interested in Jet Blue’s decision on transatlantic flights. I’m guessing that their entry into the market would force American, United, and Delta to up their game. I’m guessing that they would use JFK, BOS, or FLL as their gateway.
Probably JFK or BOS, I think transatlantic from FLL would be too far for their current Airbus fleet.
