I hope everyone has a great weekend so far and wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day and Singles Awareness Day!

In terms of points and travel, Cathay Pacific added an exception for face masks for First & Business Class passengers this week. United Airlines has delayed its return to JFK (again) and ordered 200 electric air taxis. Air Namibia has ceased operations. Thai Airways announced that Etihad and EL AL have discontinued their A380 fleets and achieved impressive milestones in employee vaccination.

With that out of the way, here’s a recap from this week’s blog:

Selected stories

My experience of opening a Brex cash account (easiest 110,000 points I’ve ever earned)

I will publish this post again with some updates from the end of January. We have learned a lot more about the Brex application and approval process since then, and I wanted this post to reflect that as people keep applying. While we don’t have an exact end date for this offer yet, I would highly recommend applying sooner rather than later as I think the days of this offer are likely to be limited.


SkyMiles continues to rate the true base delta

Korean Air First Class 787 68

A few days ago, we saw how Delta SkyMiles massively devalued the prices of business class awards from partner airlines for the second time in a few months. Yes, in the middle of a pandemic, and we’re talking about just huge price hikes.


Alaska Airlines will offer Oneworld Awards in the summer of 2021

Cathay Pacific 777 Oneworld 1

75bef722 44e3 4f36 bf6a 4ec71657e56d 75bef722 44e3 4f36 bf6a 4ec71657e56d 75bef722 44e3 4f36 bf6a 4ec71657e56d

Alaska Airlines will join the oneworld alliance on March 31, 2021, which is an exciting development. However, we shouldn’t expect awards to be rolled out to all oneworld partner airlines immediately.
