Next we discuss SoFi Money. Here's how to get free money quickly. Not kidding.
Finally, we talk about manufacturing spend with the Citi Double Cash card. How awesome is 2X everywhere uncapped?

Greg surprised Nick with a pop quiz. We also discuss Emirates sweet spots, Google Fi headaches, and more.
This week Nick is vacationing in Bora Bora. On our weekly FM on the Air, he compares the Conrad to the St Regis Bora Bora. Which is better? He also talks pros and cons of Hawaii vs. Bora Bora. Next, we talked vacation packages and shared tips for getting the most out of them. Finally, I talked live with a Delta Vacations rep to find out if the SkyMiles deal of the year has been extended (it has!).

Fixing an AAward disaster, what to do now to prep for the Marriott changes, stacking sweet spots and more.
Is that new IHG offer worth a 5/24 slot? Is it worth forgoing award stays for a year just to accumulate a ton of IHG points? Those questions answered, plus how to fly to Asia in biz class w/ a stopover in Hawaii for 47.5K miles and how Capital One could take the CSR down.
What do you do when your positioning flight gets canceled hours before you are due to fly 15 hours away on an award ticket? Why are the changes to Amex airline fee reimbursements a total non-issue?
