Making Sure You’re Getting Your Uber Credits:  Many of us own the Amex platinum card as it does offer a number of useful perks.  One of those perks is the monthly Uber credit. You have to jump through a couple of hoops to use it, but here’s how to do so.

Earn MR Points Through Shopping Portals:  Rakuten, the shopping portal formerly known as Ebates, is allowing shoppers the ability to earn Member Rewards points.  This is an awesome way to boost your points balance.

Avoiding The United Close In Booking Fee:  The main objective of our hobby involves saving money on travel.  Pesky fees can really add up throughout the course of your vacation.  Good news though as here is one fee you can avoid if you’re willing to jump through a few hoops.

Maximizing JAL Miles:  Earning free travel with points is one thing.  However spending an extremely low number of points/miles to obtain that free travel is next level awesome!  Here are ways to maximize those JAL miles.

25% Transfer Bonus To Flying Blue:  Speaking of spending less miles on awards… There’s currently a 25% transfer bonus when transferring Membership Rewards to Flying Blue.  This allows you to obtain the same awesome award flights for a lot less miles.
