Here is a great site that will ping woot every 10 seconds letting you know exactly how much % of each woot is left.
Remember the best deals only last a couple minutes, so
-be sure to have this checker open
-be logged into your woot account
-have a valid credit card already on file in your woot account to improve your odds of getting a great deal at today’s woot-off!
10 Second Woot-Off Checker

Instead of the normal 1 woot per day listed at 1:00AM EST, for the next 24-72 hours or so woot will be selling lots of things for very short periods of time-expect some very good deals-but dont expect them to last more than a few minutes!!!

If you’re lucky, you may even be able to buy the infamous “Bag Of Crap” for $1…

Both airlines stocks shot up earlier today as investors seemingly thought this is a good move for both airlines.

Will this merger actually happen? I doubt it, and I hope not!
1st of all USAirways has a terrible mileage program in which if you dont have activity every 18 months you lose all of your miles. I personally have zero USAirways miles, but i do have Delta miles that I wouldnt want USAir to touch with a 10-foot pole.
2nd-Since when does the #7 company in the industry take over the #3? USAirways still hasn’t even fully integrated America West from the last merger…

If by some crazy means is does go through (Delta has said they want to remain stand-alone) I wonder which hubs will be cut, which name they will keep, and which alliance they will stick to…

The last USAirways merger saw Charlotte, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Phoenix survive, with just Pittsburgh being cut.
Delta operates a mega-hub in Atlanta and smaller hubs in Cincinnati and Salt Lake City.
I would imagine that Charlotte, Cincinnati, and Salt Lake City would have to lose their hub status in such a merger.
My other guesses are that they would keep the Delta name, which has a far better reputation than USeless Airways…
USAirways joined the Star Alliance just a couple years ago, and Delta is the founding member of Skyteam, so most probably they would stick with Skyteam…

Anyway this is all just speculation…
At the end of the day I highly doubt that this merger will happen. However I am sure that within a couple years we will see major consolidation in the industry…

Correction: The good people at Farecompare(who apparently actively read this blog) point out out that I mistakenly attributed this service to them. I have now corrected this post to show that it is Farecast that is offering this service…

I’ve blogged about Farecast multiple times in the past, they are the people that purport to predict whether fares will fall or rise.
Now they will put their money where there mouth is and back it up.
During the introductory period you can buy a “Fareguard” for $1, which covers you if the ticket goes up within 1 week.
If they predict that fares will hold steady or fall and you select to fareguard the route, then if the fare drops-you save automatically, and if they fare rises-they will pay the difference!

Confused? Here’s an example:
A search from LAX to LAS on 01/09/07 and returning 01/16/07 reveals a fare of $97.
There is a fareguard button-click it to activate fareguard on this route.
The intro cost is $1.
For the next 7 days farecast will send you daily updates of the fareguarded price, and the current price.
Lets say the price falls to $60 tomorrow, then you will have saved $37 automatically just by listening to their prediction and waiting-so they are not liable to pay you anything.
But if the fares rises to $130 tomorrow, then if you go and book that ticket and send farecast the booking details, they will give you $33!

Continental Business Chase MC
Continental Consumer Chase MC

I ranked the Continental card as follows in the following categories:
Best Credit Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles: Unranked.
Best Credit Cards To Have For Miscellaneous Benefits: #8 and #9.
Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus: Unranked.

Key facts:
-Signup Bonus: 15,000 miles for the consumer card and 20,000 miles for the business card.
-Annual fee: Business- None for 1 year, $75 subsequent years. Consumer-$85 yearly.
-Signup Bonus Earned: After first purchase.
-Maximum points that can be earned in 1 year from spending: Unlimited.
Maximum Number Of Times The Signup Bonus Can Be Earned: Currently Unlimited!
Maximum Number Of Continental Cards You Can Have Open At One Time: At least 2 of each consumer and business.
Minimum Wait Time Between Applying For The Consumer And Business Card: None, you can apply for both on the same day.
Minimum Wait Time Between Applying For The Same (Consumer Or Business) Card Again: 30 Days.

Reason for the being unranked in “Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles” category :
-Continental miles are notoriously hard to use. The only good thing about CO’s miles are the Israel bargains-70k in coach and 100k in business-first.
Still you can get 1.25 Continental miles per dollar spent with the Starwood Amex, so why use this card to earn miles?

Reasons for the #8 and #9 ranking in “Miscellaneous Benefits” category:
–Official Benefit-Having the card gets you a 5% discount off all Continental tickets!
–Unofficial Benefit-Having the card allows to to put an online fare on hold for 24 hours.

Reason for being unranked in the “Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus” category:
-You can earn the bonus more than once!
