    Hilton Honors Site driving me mad

    Credit Cards & United Airlines MileagePlus

    UA miles Not entirely correct: 1/ Diners Club - as mentioned above, earns A$2 = 1 UA mile. Now considering a trip to JFK on QFF is 256k in Biz, it is only 90k on UA. You are only spending $180k on diners for a UA Biz to JFK, vs. $256k on diners for a QFF Biz to JFK. You could however get a...

    Citbank Take Flight - Is it worth?

    flights Doot, that is probably not a good indicator, sure it is 200,000 if you are crazy enough to pay $2k for a ticket, odds are however, you'll be able to get the dates you want for that price, rather than hoping for an award ticket. But being realistic, i would book a best deal - which in...
