American Cash Upgrades Now Earn Loyalty Points And Miles

August 14, 2024 at 13:15 EDT By Spencer Howard

One Mile At A Time: "American Airlines is aggressive about selling upgrades for cash. Once you ticket a reservation, it’s common to see an offer whereby you can pay cash to upgrade to first or business class. The value of this can vary significantly, and the upgrade cost will change over time, based on a variety of factors."

"Up until now, the major catch has been that these upgrade offers haven’t been eligible to earn AAdvantage miles or Loyalty Points. That has finally changed — as of August 14, 2024, cash upgrades on American are eligible to earn miles and Loyalty Points."

Delta Business Amex Cards With No Lifetime Language

August 8, 2024 at 11:38 EDT By Spencer Howard

Frequent Miler: "There’s another round of targeted welcome offers out for the American Express Delta business credit cards which don’t have Amex’s standard “once in a lifetime” language. Because of this, the offers produced should be obtainable for folks who have had the cards before or who have them now.

Points Wire Note:

If you want to get a Delta Business Amex card again, this might matter to you. Of course, these cards are almost worthless if you want to book business class award tickets to/from the U.S. If you'll use the SkyMiles to book business class on routes that don't touch the U.S., it might be worth considering. However, I wouldn't hold SkyMiles for any longer than necessary as even those options could be devalued at any moment.

For most people, these cards are third tier priorities at best.
