| 1/20/2022 | Registration and Other Bonuses | Join China Air's miles program and earn 1,000 miles. This seems to be a response to the bonus offered by Taiwan's other airline, Eva Air. China Air is a member of Skyteam . When I flew on it from San Francisco to Hanoi several years ago (using Delta Airlines miles and this trick), it had an excellent business class seat and service. |

| 1/13/2022 | Credit Cards | I fixed the link to the United Airline business credit card. Still 75K + 75K. |
| 1/12/2022 | Finance | Bask Bank still offers 5,000 Ameridan Airlines miles for opening an account with a minimum of $1,000 and maintaining at least that amount for 90 days. Now says this offer ends June 30, 2022. Other bonuses are still online, but with a 2020 expiration date. Ask. Accounts earn 1 mile per $1 deposited per year, but paid monthly. A 1099 form will be issued for the value of the miles. Last I looked they say that value is 0.42 cent/mile. Compare to interest rates you can find elsewhere from online banks. For example, currently (January 12, 2022) I am getting 0.8% from Marcus Bank, but its full value will be reported on the 1099. I keep $20 in my account and am paid 2 miles/month. This is a very easy way to keep my AA account from expiring. (Last I looked, that AA account requires at least one activity every 18 months to avoid losing all the miles in it.) |

The Alaska Airlines personal credit card offer is now 60,000 miles. I show you how to find a link to same plus a $100 statement credit.
Alaska has one of my favorite miles programs. It has an abundance of partners, and all tickets are one way and allow a stopover. This means unlimited open jaw trips with two stopovers. For example, I used miles to do a trip from San Francisco to Glacier Bay in Alaska, then return with a two week stopover at Juneau. I used that stopover to cruise the Southeast Alaska waters, including the real inside passage, with UnCruise, my favorite small ship cruise company. You may read about this spectacular cruise here (and get a discount for it). Click on Alaska in the menu to the left. |

So I looked in my account and found 3 free nights I didn't know I had. One was to expire tomorrow, and another in 3 days. I called and easily converted the first one to 25K points. It took the rep 5 minutes to get permission to convert the second one. I have a year to use the third one, which I may do once Covid gets solved. |
