Need a new credit card with a chip that I can use international. Prefer visa or mc with rewards (cash back, etc). Pay in full every month.

Any recommendations?

Also, can you upgrade the one great team tickets and/or fly confirmed for less tickets? (Paris next week)

Thank you in advance.

This is a good one ... :D

Thanks for the card recommendations. The one great team expire end of april. I planned the trip to paris to burn them. I think all travel has to be complete by April 30, 2016. I listed through the link under leisure travel. So far, pretty straight forward. I also got a couple of fly confirmed for less for the kids. About $1200 round trip for each of those.

End of April, ok, thanks. Remember to 'check in' exactly 24 hours prior to your trip, because the time you check in is what determines your placement on the upgrade list, not your date of hire.

I took my son on a SYD trip with me a couple weeks ago, I was working it, he was using S2's. There were many, many, One Great Team pass riders going to SYD. (like 20+) he was lucky to get a seat wayyy back in coach on the way down, but got F/C on a Weds back to LAX.

I expect as April 30 approaches there will be a rush of non-revs trying to use them up, so don't be surprised when you see 30+ pax on the upgrade list! I have not used mine yet and probably won't, as I work too much, my wife works, and my 4 kids are all in college or working.

I don't know why they have to expire at all, but the dumbest thing they did was to make them all expire on the same day. Watch what happens in the last week of April! Don't plan on non-reving anywhere if you're on an S anything, the OGT pass riders will all get on, you'll be left at the gate.

Funny...I've had 2 free bags each on every fly confirmed for less ticket and the One Great Team pass. :confused:

Off the top of my (flat) head; ALPA dues and United Way contributions, Meals are listed in box 12 L, you know you spent a lot more than your per diem, right?
