Some people are able to reapply and get accepted 90 days after a financial review, others aren’t so lucky.

Did you close your accounts, or did AMEX close them for you?

Dan,
What do you suggest i do, I had to close my American Express accounts due to a financial review about six months ago. Recently I have tried to open a new account and got declined, I do have very good credit so if you have a suggestion for mr i would really appreiciate it.

Dan said in the comments at 3:46 PM, November 08, 2006 over here:

that you cannot sell miles.
Why do you think you are able to now?

Hi Dan,

Can you link again to the article about getting a flight to israel with as little as 20k spg?

Thanks!!

There are ways of getting to Israel with as little as 20,000 starwood points, sure.

I just don’t know how to do that with hilton points.

Also for AA I don’t think you’ll be beat the direct transfer method, and don’t forget the Amtrak requires a credit card to transfer out points and has a 25K per year transfer cap.

Dan there is a direct way however I thought you knew indirect ways of getting better value. for example one way that I do think is better is transfering to amtrak and the amtrak to continental but what I really was hoping is for a way to get more value for AA miles and also how do i find the way of doing things thru LAN? I know you had something about that a while ago and I even got myself a membership in it but now that I need to know it all I dont remember what to do.
What ever happened with deal that was 40,000 points for a ticket to Israel??
Thank you

izzy, I’m sorry but I know little about the hilton program, and I don’t think I’ve written about the program’s features in the past.
Isn’t there a direct transfer method of transferring hhonors points to AA miles?

Dan why are you not answering me? I hope I am not missing something here
dan Please help me out here. You once had a way of doing something thru lan. how did that work?
I am trying to figure out how to transfer 300,000 hilton points to either American airlines or continental.
I know you had stuff in the past how to do it but i am having a hard time figuring out the best way to do it in order to get the most miles.
can you advise me what to do??
I want to use the miles for flyinmg to israel and i already have about 110,00 on american (Their points work for elal) and about 60,000 on continental and also 45000 amex points.
Please help me out for the best way to get the most tickets possible.
Thank you very much

hey dan.
another chance to get out of verizons contract without a cancelation fee.
verizon raised the administrative charge from .70 to .85 . just call the cancelation department and tell them that you want to cancel because of the extra charges and they will let you off!!
