I hope everyone is having a good & safe weekend so far!
On the points & travel front, this week we saw an incredible new offer of 110K points from Brex, Air Peace introduced a unique business class product on its newest plane, the US issued a federal mask mandate for airplanes & airlines, details of the new Centurion Lounge Denver were revealed, delivery of the Boeing 777X was delayed until late 2023 at the earliest, and more.
With that out of the way, here’s a recap of this week on the blog:
Featured Stories
My Experience Opening A Brex Cash Account (Easiest 110K Points I Ever Earned)
Brex Cash was recently introduced, and I wrote in a separate post about why this is so great. I signed up for an account a while back, and wanted to report back on my experience. I’ve earned over 110,000 points (which can be transferred to airline partners) without a credit pull and without paying a dime in fees. This is quite literally an unprecedented opportunity.
These are probably the easiest points I’ve ever earned (easier than any credit card sign-up bonus), and best of all, I have a business cash management account that I actually like, and plan to keep long-term.
In this post, I wanted to break down the value of Brex Cash in basic terms, and share my experience applying.
Bask Bank Review: Earn Miles For Saving, Not Spending
In this post, I want to take an in-depth look at Bask Bank, which enables you to open a savings account and earn American Airlines AAdvantage® miles instead of interest. This is a great option for accruing rewards that you can redeem whenever you’re ready to travel.
For those who are in a position to do so, opening a Bask Savings Account could make a lot of sense. Bask Bank is a digital bank that lets you save without leaving your home, and gives you opportunities to earn AAdvantage® miles.
How does it work? Is it worth it? And what else do you need to know?
