The information for the following product(s) has been collected independently by Business Insider: Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card. Here's how I combined rewards credit card points, benefits, and a free night certificate to take a $7,000 trip for less than $350 per person. Both my husband and I have the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card from American Express, and we had each gotten a free night certificate with that card. I transferred some American Express Membership Rewards points to British Airways to complete the transaction. The main reason was that our Aspire card came with up to $400 in resort credits a year, meaning our Waldorf charges were ultimately reimbursed.

I maximize my Chase credit card points by transferring them to my airline accounts. AdvertisementWhen redeeming my Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card points for flights and hotel stays, I used to book everything through the Chase Travel Portal. With the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, each point is worth a fixed 1.25 cents on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal, meaning 100 points equals $1.25. In the Chase Travel Portal, the Southwest flight I wanted would have cost all 21,887 points I have saved up, plus an additional $16 to cover the remaining difference.

United Airlines first new livery Boeing 737-800 arrives at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., June 5, 2019. REUTERS/Kamil Krzaczynski Acquire Licensing RightsSept 22 (Reuters) - United Airlines (UAL.O) said on Friday it had promoted company insider Michael Leskinen to chief financial officer, nearly four months after Gerry Laderman announced plans to retire in 2024. Leskinen's appointments comes at a time when United is set to benefit from a boom in high-margin international travel, even though early signs show that domestic travel demand might have peaked. In the second quarter, international passenger revenue accounted for about 41% of the airline's total passenger revenue. Leskinen joined the Chicago-based carrier in 2018 as the managing director for investor relations and most recently served as the president of United Airlines Ventures.
