加一点，有的卡换里程并不是1:1,比如starwood,换UA是2:1,换其他的也有3:2的，所以
换之前务必搞清楚，了解清楚terms。 | c********g
发帖数: 15629 | 2 Mileage card is not good for most ppl here. For example, although I know
starwood is a really good card, I can't spend $20000 in a short time. So give
it up.
I am using Southwest now. It is really flexible and the return is very high. I
fly, I use that card......And you can easily buy or sell the tickets online.
For max profit, don't sell at mitbbs to Chinese, but please buy from Chinese
at mitbbs.
I posted the details/ prons, cons of that card last year and this year. Who
still remember it? (Gu | b****b

star hotel in waikiki. If you use priceline, it should be about $40.
Frankly speaking, redeeming domestic tickets for points is not good deal for
most students. Airline tickets is getting cheaper and cheaper, and mileage
redemption is getting harder and harder.

发帖数: 199 | 4 Points can be converted to almost any airlines at a better rate (except
United). Redeem flights when you fly to or from small airports (more
expensive). Redeem for starwood hotels at very low cost.

发帖数: 199 | 5 Buy life insurance only necessary, because insurance cost a lot more than the
"cost of insurance". In general, buy term if you are married (with kids) and
have mortage. Buy VUL if your income is greater than 250K a year, but never
buy from WFG even if you are qualified. You can save thousands of dollars if
you buy similiar yet better products from some other companies.
