50,000 Point Hyatt Card Offer Details, 50,000 Delta Amex Offers, 2,500 Alaska Mile Referral, United Award Sale, & More!

Welcome to this week’s summary! The business class fare sale that happened on Thursday and Friday ended up taking up quite a bit of my time as I was trying to schedule some things as well as helping out some friends and family. I was out when the best prices were available, so it took some searching but I was still able to find what I needed.

It ended up kind of funny – I have had a post that I was going to push publish on for quite a few weeks now about how I was not going for easy AA Executive Platinum status (because of an offer to only fly 25,000 elite qualifying points) because of many things. Well, good thing I did not post that as I am going for it and will have it locked up with two quick trips – for waaayy less than I thought possible!

Anyway, here are the posts from Running with Miles this week.
