Cheap Air France business class deals to Paris - $2,068

Air France is currently running some fantastic business class deals to their hub in Paris (CDG).  The flights can originate from SFO, SJC, or LAX and are either nonstop or connecting in Europe.  This is also a perfect opportunity to stack with the 20,000 Membership Rewards Amex Offer for spending $1,000+ with Air France!  United has also matched some of the fares on their business class Polaris product.


Origin: SFO, SJC, or LAX
Destination: CDG
Connecting cities: nonstop, Amsterdam, Toronto, Zurich, or Munich
Availability: limited dates in December and early next year through April


This is a great deal, especially if you stack it with the Amex Offer.  If you credit miles to United or Delta on Air France, you'd be looking at 16,701 elite qualifying miles for SFO-CDG nonstop.

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room.

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer par...
