We're back with a great talk between Robert and I on the following:





0:22 Follow Up: Alaska Status Match (last discussed Ep 68)





06:13 Amex Churnability and Employee Offers






  • Cards used to be much more churnable




  • Popups abound now. Wish there was a way to get rid of them by force




  • 15k for $4k is the new thing




  • Business Platinum (link)




  • Business Gold (link)




  • Blue Business Plus (link)




  • Be sure to use the correct link for the card you're adding it to, data points say using a mismatch won't work.





9:39 Main Topic: Partner Awards






  • JetBlue/Qatar/Hawaiian




  • ITA/Virgin Atlantic/FlyingBlue




  • Alaska Partner Award Consolidated Charts




  • Discuss: The lottery element in these, the lack of “wide open” availability, and the eternally evolving complexity of it all





22:54 Tip of the Week: Book JAL Premium Economy w/Alaska Miles






  • Reasonable in miles and only $20-$55 in fees (no fuel!)
