News and notes from around the interweb:
- 1000 free Iberia Avios for downloading a taxi app. (HT: Loyalty Lobby who writes “you may have to use one of the GPS apps to set your location to Madrid or Barcelona…to get the Avios.”)
- Travel can make you smarter, and talking about travel can make you happier.
- “And for United, it seems like the airline is taking a play out of Delta’s playbook.” Not even the mileage program this time.
- The best airline websites — from a pure design perspective. (HT: Carrie C.) Clearly functionality did not play a role in developing the list…
- How to create a virtual account number with Citibank credit cards. (These are also known as ‘single use’ credit card numbers.)
Citibank’s virtual account feature is fantastic for all the reasons listed in that article and one more: dealing with LifeMiles! When I’ve tried using other cards to either purchase miles or pay taxes on a redemption I would get declined. But when I use my Citi card in VAN mode the transaction always go through.
