The rage when the store put a stop to his scam was something to behold. Pilots really are the cheapest people on earth.

I'm not going to disparage any individuals but to pay for the privilege of using your own credit is, well... the best I can say is unpilot like. $550 is a lot of benefits I may or may not use. I'm sure each has done their own due diligence, but paying (especially at our income levels) for a credit card?

It reimbursed me for my Global entry as well. While the priority pass isn't all that great in the U.S., it can provide some free meals here and there. With all the other side bennies, I've found that it more than pays for itself every year.

Well....SCRA rules dictate I don’t have to pay for my AMEX platinum, HHonors aspire or chase sapphire :-). But I like the super couponing idea...I’m going to order a pair of scissors from amazon for 5% off using my store card to clip the coupons.

Require a confirmed seat assignment prior to entry. Only at departure airport <2 hrs prior to scheduled departure (unless on a connection).
Unless you are on a deadhead, it is pretty useless.

Just don’t forget to cancel... could be a very expensive mistake.
