The frequent flier world has been abuzz recently with the announcement of another 100,000 British Airways points sign-up bonus credit card. Many people, including myself, decided to pick this card up. This card requires $20K of spend in order to get the full 100,000 point bonus. One of the less reported on perks is the "travel together ticket" (essentially a companion pass for a single award ticket) after $30K of spend. Normally, I wouldn't say this is even close to worth it, but if I'm ...

If you thought it was too late to book your summer travel to Europe using miles, you are wrong...thanks to Aer Lingus. The Irish carrier is not part of a major airline alliance but partners with both United Airlines and British Airways. Having released a glut of economy and business class award space some time this afternoon, now is the time to book.

Aer Lingus serves Dublin from Chicago, Orlando, New York, and Boston and Shannon from New York and Boston. For whatever reason--and this ...

Link: British Airways Visa Signature Card 100,000 Avios Offer

The British Airways 100,000 sign-up bonus is back and like an annoying US Airways flight attendant, the blogosphere is avariciously hawking the card, as I shamelessly do here, while heatedly debating whether this offer is worthwhile.

Here's the quick summary: it's still a good offer, but if I had to choose one, I'd rather sign-up for the Chase Sapphire preferred card.

Unlike the last rendition of the 100,000 ...
