M² No Annual Fee Episode 69: Partner Awards & More

We're back with a great talk between Robert and I on the following:





0:22 Follow Up: Alaska Status Match (last discussed Ep 68)



06:13 Amex Churnability and Employee Offers




Cards used to be much more churnable



Popups abound now. Wish there was a way to get rid of them by force



15k for $4k is the new thing



Business Platinum (link)



Business Gold (link)



Blue Business Plus (link)



Be sure to use the correct link for the card you're adding it to, data points say using a mismatch won't work.




9:39 Main Topic: Partner Awards




JetBlue/Qatar/Hawaiian



ITA/Virgin Atlantic/FlyingBlue



Alaska Partner Award Consolidated Charts



Discuss: The lottery element in these, the lack of “wide open” availability, and the eternally evolving complexity of it all




22:54 Tip of the Week: Book JAL Premium Economy w/Alaska Miles




Reasonable in miles and only $20-$55 in fees (no fuel!)
