BA Visa Card Linky

Gary points to a seemingly incredible offer from Chase: Sign up for a $75/year British Airways card and you’ll get 50,000 BA miles.  Spend $2,000 on the card within 3 months and you’ll get another 50,000 miles. Plus you get 1.25 miles per dollar spent.  In addition if you spend $30,000 on the card in a calendar year you get a voucher for a free companion award ticket when you book another award ticket.

Sounds incredible, no?
Ahh…but what Gary doesn’t mention are their outrageous fuel surcharges on BA award tickets.

BA Fuel Surcharges (not including actual taxes) per longhaul segment (A Round-Trip JFK-LHR-TLV is 4 segments):
Economy (Under 9 hours): $107
Economy (Over 9 hours): $141
Premium Economy (Under 9 hours): $128
Premium Economy (Over 9 hours): $177
Business/First (Under 9 hours): $157
Business/First (Over 9 hours): $205

Other taxes and fees that BA charges will typically add more than $100 to the award ticket in addition to the fuel surcharges.

A Business Ticket from LA to Tel Aviv will cost 130,000 miles plus over $800 in fuel surcharges and other fees and taxes!

I think I’ll stick with Continental’s BusinessFirst, at 115,000 miles and $50 in taxes.
AA’s card may only get you 30K miles, but it is easily churnable and you won’t have to shell out hundreds of dollars in taxes for an award ticket…plus AA has a sweet OneWorld chart with awards that cost less miles than BA and have no fuel surcharges.

Now that you’re equipped with the rest of the story you can decide whether this card makes sense for you. 100,000 miles is indeed an incredible offer, but I personally stay far away from programs that charge such high fuel surcharges…I enjoy free award flights, not discounted flights.

USAirways Share Miles Linky

USAirways Buy Miles Linky

USAirways Gift Miles Linky

Until 12/31 you can get a 100% bonus when you buy, gift, or transfer USAirways miles.

You can’t buy, share, or gift miles unless your USAirways Dividend Miles account is 10 days old.

Officially you can get up to 50,000 bonus miles from each of these activities, although there are anecdotal reports that you may get the bonus past this point.

You can buy or gift 50,000 miles for $1,373 with all taxes and get a total of 100,000 miles with the bonus (1.37 cents per mile purchased)

You can transfer 50,000 miles for $567 with all taxes and the recipient will get 100,000 miles with the bonus (1.13 cents per mile “purchased”)

USAirways may not be the best airline, but they have a couple dozen great partners as part of the Star Alliance.

Their Star Alliance chart is actually quite good! For example a ticket from the US48 to Hawaii is now 40,000 miles in coach or 80,000 miles in first when using Continental or United miles.  When you use USAirways miles that same flight is only 35,000 miles in coach or 70,000 miles in first regardless of whether you fly on USAirways, Continental, or United.

You can also transfer miles from Starwood to USAirways at a 20,000:25,000 ratio.

Just beware that USAirways is notorious for their award fees and high baggage fees.

Interactive BusinessFirst Flat Bed Linky

The first Flat Bed 777 flies today (11/01) from Hong Kong-Newark (CO98) and then Newark-Tel Aviv (CO84).  Tomorrow it will run from Tel Aviv-Newark (CO85) and then Newark-London (CO28).  On the 3rd it will run from London-Houston (CO35) and on the 4th from Houston-Tokyo (CO07).

If you’re on one of these flights in BusinessFirst it looks like you’re in for a real treat!

Continental doesn’t maintain specific planes on routes, so for the foreseeable future it will just be luck of the draw if you get the new BusinessFirst 180 degree flat beds or the old BusinessFirst seats.

Update: There’s been a ton of comments made on older deals referenced to in this post that nobody will ever read…
Feel free to ask/comment on any of these deals right here in this post or better yet, take the discussions to dansdeals.com/forums where the discussion won’t die when the deal falls off of the front page.

Ever wonder which deals I actually do myself in a given month? Here’s a roundup for October:

-Deposited $60,000 of US Mint dollar coins. It looks like this is the end of the deal as the no-limit Native American coins appear to no longer be available. (Total coins deposited to date? 250,000!!!)

-Opened the new AMEX Premier Rewards Gold Card for the 15,000 MR Points Signup bonus.

-Churned 3 more AA cards for about 100,000 miles. (Total AA miles from churning to date: 2,250,000)

-My wife and I accumulated 44 stays at Hyatt hotels during October.  The total cost was $2,750 for 325,000 miles and hotel points, top-tier Diamond status with confirmed suite upgrades until 2011, and 22 free nights at any Hyatt hotel or resort in the world.

-My wife and I both opened up Chase checking accounts to get 50,000 Continental miles.

-I was able to order $120 in Borders GC’s for just $60 after $20 in instant savings and 40% off…unfortunately by the time I confirmed that the order went through and went to make a post about it Borders no longer allowing the 40% off coupon to work on the $60 GC package.

-Picked up a free after rebate LCD mount.

-Hopefully I’ll be getting a free ticket from Virgin America thanks to all 10 of my “Golden Tickets” being used…we’ll see if it really comes…

-Picked up to 2 tickets to visit the in-laws in Kansas City thanks to Continental matching Southwest’s $25-$100 zone sale.

-Got a Canon battery for just a quarter with free shipping.

-Got a $25 Piperlime GC for ordering a $10 pair of flip flops after a 20% off coupon.

-Opened a Key account to get $275 cash.

-Tried to get some Dippin Dots at BJ’s for just $1.79 after a coupon, but they were sold out of the parve Rainbow Ice flavor.

-Picked up 5 Paul Fredrick monogrammed shirts for just $19/each plus shipped.

-My wife and I both got Windows 7 Ultimate Edition for free!

-Got a few codes for free Hardcover Photo Books from Shutterfly, already made a few incredible looking books!

-Picked up some AA miles and extended the lives of my entire family’s AA miles thanks to Bose. and 700 Continental miles as well.

-Got a bunch of free Banana clothing from their 15th anniversary bash including a couple of $100 winners (sometimes it pays to be signed up for spam in all of your email accounts!)

-Helped my Aunt and Uncle book 2 Continental reward tickets to go to Israel right when the rates went down from 90K to 75K with the switch to Star Alliance.

Now I just need to find a good place to burn some Hyatt nights! Any suggestions? Park Hyatt Sydney ($1,200/room value), Park Hyatt Buenos Aires ($600/room value), Grand Hyatt Kauai ($400/room  value)? Any other suggestions for the best bang for the buck?

Do I have too much time on my hands? Which deals did you do this month? Anyone else go crazy at Hyatt?
