News and notes from around the interweb:
- Former American Airlines Vice President infers that the unions expect CEO Robert Isom to be replaced – that’s why they’re calling for his ouster, they want to be seen as having had influence in the decision.
- Get paid $2,510 to stay 4 nights on Calala Island this works with Hilton Honors award stays.
- Cash out Bilt Cash dollar-for-dollar for cash at Walgreens but only in California and limited to $10/mo.
- Thousands of people tried to scam Bilt for extra points with fake screenshots of the TPG promo they did. That promo was a mess.
You guys ruined the TPG promo for those who truly signed up with it. (Ankur Response)

biltrewards - Here are the numbers on how the new Starbucks Rewards program is an unmitigated disaster for customers – they add elite tiers, but even top elites are worse off than general members before the change. They claim to be rewarding their best customers but they’re further gutting the program. Sad!
– 2016: $62.50 in spend = 1 free drink
– 2019: $75 in spend = 1 free drink
– Currently: $100 in spend = 1 free drink
– 2026: $117 in spend (Reserve Level) = 1 free drink
($200 in spend = 1 free drink for the Green entry level tier) - United expanding pre-order meal options
“As we continue to expand preordering capabilities, we’ll be able to offer an even wider selection of unique entrees, including more exclusive options for Polaris customers.”
“This summer, we expect to add additional fresh meal choices to the Bistro on Board menu, such as elevated salads, gourmet sandwiches and wraps. These choices will also be available on even more routes than they are today.”
“Later this year, we also look forward to offering customers in premium cabins on long-haul flights the ability to preorder both their primary meal and their arrival meal — giving them an even more personalized dining experience.”
It’s not going to make any difference. Isom will be replaced with someone just as bad, if not worse. The Board of Directors itself is strategically toxic, and the root cause of the many problems at AA.
@Mike Hunt — Next, you’ll sound like Tim, ‘Close the whole business down. Just have Delta!’ /s
@1990bot – Please attack. And show no mercy.
@Mike Hunt — LOL. I’ll take that as an admission… got an other aliases?
@1990 – Unlike you, I do not waste my time spamming this forum with multiple identities.
@Mike Hunt — I doubt that; this ‘NickW’ guy at OMAAT has ‘Mike Hunt/Tim Dunn’ vibes.
As for me, I stick to these four digits.
@1990 – You’re completely delusional, and likely lying. You need to accept the fact that more than one person doesn’t appreciate your presence here. I can’t begin to imagine how insufferable you must be in person.
