We're back with a great talk between Robert and I on the following:

0:22 Follow Up: Alaska Status Match (last discussed Ep 68)

06:13 Amex Churnability and Employee Offers

• Cards used to be much more churnable
• Popups abound now. Wish there was a way to get rid of them by force
• 15k for $4k is the new thing
• Business Platinum (link)
• Business Gold (link)
• Blue Business Plus (link)
• Be sure to use the correct link for the card you're adding it to, data points say using a mismatch won't work.

9:39 Main Topic: Partner Awards

• JetBlue/Qatar/Hawaiian
• ITA/Virgin Atlantic/FlyingBlue
• Alaska Partner Award Consolidated Charts
• Discuss: The lottery element in these, the lack of “wide open” availability, and the eternally evolving complexity of it all

22:54 Tip of the Week: Book JAL Premium Economy w/Alaska Miles

• Reasonable in miles and only $20-$55 in fees (no fuel!)
