Get Out Of Your T-Mobile Contract For Free!

Monday, June 30th, 2008

T-Mobile is raising their SMS rates from 15 cents to 20 cents effective 08/29/08.

As long as you don’t subscribe to an unlimited SMS plan this is a material change in the price of the services you subscribed to, and therefore T-Mobile by law must let you opt out of your contract without paying an early termination fee.

The only question is how many phone calls it will take until you reach a rep that is willing to actually let you go…

Alitalia Millemiglia: No Fuel Surcharges, No Expedite Fees, Free Date Changes, Amazing Mileage Values, And Transfer Options From Starwood And AMEX!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Please Note: Alitalia’s financial situation is sub-optimal.  Therefore I am not recommending that you should transfer Starwood/AMEX points into Alitalia until you have a mileage ticket on hold that you are ready to book (In reality you should almost never transfer Starwood or AMEX points to an airline until you have an award ticket on hold).  Booking a mileage ticket for travel on a Skyteam partner airline will also be safer than booking for travel on Alitalia just in case they go under.

Alitalia US48 Award Chart Linky


Alitalia has really good mileage rates from the US and best of all they don’t slap you with a fuel surcharge on award tickets!

You can transfer 20,000 Starwood Starpoints for 25,000 Alitalia Millemiglia miles. AMEX MR points transfer at an equal 1,000:1,000 ratio.

Some of the rates are actually incredible. Here are some favorites at rates that are significantly less than most domestic programs:

-Israel for 50K in coach or 80K in business! The 80K award is good for non-stop travel in Continental’s BusinessFirst and Delta’s BusinessElite cabins. Reported availability on Alitalia is good as well.

-Hawaii for 30K in coach or 60K in business! Either way you go you’ll want to find seats on Continental. They still serve full kosher meals for free in coach (When I flew 11 hours on United from Chicago to Honolulu there were only $5 snacks for sale!) and no airline comes close to their international BusinessFirst seating to Hawaii non-stop from Houston, Los Angeles, and Newark.

Here are the Alitalia mileage rates to/from the US48. Travel is allowed on Alitalia or any Skyteam partner (Currently these include Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Air France/KLM, China Southern, Continental, Czech, Delta, Korean, and Northwest) at these rates:

-Europe/”Near East”/Northern Africa (This category includes Israel): Coach: 50,000. Business: 80,000.

-Continental US/Canada: Coach: 25,000. Business: 40,000

-Hawaii/Central America/Caribbean: Coach: 30,000. Business: 60,000

-South America Zone 1: Coach: 35,000. Business: 60,000

-South America Zone 2: Coach: 50,000. Business: 75,000

-Northern Asia: Coach: 60,000. Business: 90,000

-Southern Asia: Coach: 70,000. Business: 95,000

-India/Maldives/Nepal: Coach: 80,000. Business: 100,000

-Australia/Pacific: Coach: 100,000. Business: 150,000

-Southern Africa: Coach: 100,000. Business: 150,000

AMEX Simply Cash Business Card: No Annual Fee, 5% Cash Rebate On All Gas Purchases, No Interest For A Year, AMEX Open Savings, And More!

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Update 2: The AMEX Simply Cash card’s gas rebate will soon be reduced to 3% automatic cash back.  If you apply right now you will be grandfathered and will receive 5% automatic cash back on gas for at least 12 months!

You will receive a letter regarding any changes to your card’s features approximately 60 days before any changes takes place.

Originally posted on 05/16:

Update: Just to clarify, this card has no annual fee, so it also makes for a great place to which you can transfer the credit limit of other AMEX cards that only come with the first year free, and then transfer back the credit limit when you reopen the first year free card!

AMEX Simply Cash Business Card Linky

With gas now at $4/gallon and climbing you can save yourself over 20 cents a gallon by paying with the AMEX Simply Cash credit card!

You will get an automatic monthly 5% cash rebate for the following purchases:
-Automobile Gasoline (Any purchases categorized as purchasing automobile gas. If you purchase more than 75 gallons in a single transaction it won’t be be considered gas for an automobile and won’t be eligible for a rebate. Sorry Airliners-that excludes you knocking 5% off you gas bill!)
-Wireless Service (Any purchases categorized as being from a wireless merchant)
-Office Supplies (Any purchases categorized as being from an office supplies merchant)

-1% cash rebate for everything else.

The cash rebates are automatically credited monthly against your statement balance!

-The 5% offers aren’t limited time offers, they are permanent offers.

My Day So Far: Los Angeles To Chicago In 4 Not So Easy Steps…

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I flew out of LAX early this morning on Continental attempting to get to Chicago via Houston in order to go to my cousin’s wedding on Sunday.

Yesterday I noticed on Continental’s mobile site that my departure flight had been downgraded to a much smaller aircraft and I had also lost my seating assignments. Luckily I was able to still grab a good seat.

At the Continental President’s club I was told that due to the equipment downgrade I could volunteer my seat and receive a $300 voucher, a hotel room, and a confirmed first class seat if I would fly out the next morning. If it wasn’t a Friday I would’ve probably done it, but being that it was I passed on the offer.

With a scheduled 1:45 layover at Houston I went into Continental’s 3-story club in terminal E, where I learned that my flight to Chicago was canceled. All nonstop flights into Chicago were booked solid until Friday evening, but despite an obnoxious agent I still managed to finagle my way onto a Continental flight to Detroit from where I’d be able to take a Northwest flight to get me to Chicago by noon.

So, after 4 airports and 4 airport clubs visited (Including my first time in the stunning Northwest Worldclub in Detroit where I grabbed a quick yet luxurious and refreshing shower) all on the same day, I’m finally in Chicago.

My luggage? Only G-d knows where that is now!

Also congratulations to brother #3, JJ, (watch out guys, there are 6 of us boys in the Eleff family!) on graduating from high school tonight in Pittsburgh.

May you guys have the best of luck in all of your endeavors and go from strength to strength!

AMEX Online Services: How AMEX Is Head And Shoulders Above Their Competitors.

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

You must create an online account at americanexpress.com and register your AMEX cards before you can use these services.

AMEX offers an array of powerful online services that no other credit card company comes close to offering. These include:

Credit card disputes: If you’ve ever disputed a charge on a Visa or Mastercard you know how big of a hassle it is. You have to snail mail lots of paperwork over to them and then keep harassing them to find out what the status of the dispute is. I’ve had some disputes with Visa/Mastercard stretch out over a year because of the cumbersome process.

With AMEX filing a credit card dispute is simple, and they are far more likely to rule in your favor that any other credit card. If a company gives you a hard time with a return or rebate then AMEX will almost always step up to the plate and refund your money!

Here’s how to do it without ever having to pick up the phone or file paperwork:

1. Logon to your AMEX account online at americanexpress.com

2. Click on the credit card on which you want to dispute a charge.

3. Click on recent activity.

4. If the item you wish to dispute is listed under recent activity then scroll down to the bottom of the list of transactions and click on “Dispute a Charge/Check Dispute Status.” If the item you wish to dispute is not listed under recent activity then find the statement on which the charge appears by adjusting the time period above the list of transactions.

5. Follow the instructions in order to file a chargeback.

Credit line increases:

1. Logon to your AMEX account online at americanexpress.com

2. On the right-hand side of the page is “Account services,” click on “See all account services”

3. Click on the credit card on which you want to increase the credit limit.

4. Click on “Credit and Balance Transfers”

5. Click on “Increase your line of credit”

6. Enter in your new desired credit limit and your annual income and you will get an instant decision!

Credit line reallocations:

1. Logon to your AMEX account online at americanexpress.com

2. On the right-hand side of the page is “Account services,” click on “See all account services”

3. Click on the credit card on which you want to increase the credit limit.
