Status Run

Mileage runs are dead, but status runs are still around. I'm comfortable with my Gold status on United. I was very close with Chick-Fil-A and made an extra visit to spend at least $16.45. Success!

Christmas Greetings from Ireland West Airport

Never been to NOC, but it looks like a good option for western Ireland. Ireland West Airport has a fun email list I follow and, interesting oddity, collect departure tax onsite not in the ticket price.

United Airlines 2022 Status Buy Up Joke

$7,020 for Platinum status? I might as well just buy the airfare. If this was a personal gift card that expired at the end of the year, that's at least debatable. 

Cheaper to Buy First Class

American Miles at Shell

Earn 2 miles per gallon at Shell. Grab 100 miles for signing up too. Nice to get miles for things I do anyway.

Take Pride in Low Balances

I don't need to fear points inflation with Delta or Hilton. I used up my balances, got good value, and now have less to worry about. I have the $0 fee Amex with Delta and Hilton and they are happy to give me bonus points with a card upgrade, so I'm not walking away from the programs.
