Alaska EK devaluation
When I found out that morning, my immediate thoughts were, “Oh man, that sucks. Shit! Should have booked my return trip from the Seychelles. Oh well.” Then I went about my business. I’ve been in this game long enough that massive devaluations no longer affect me. I only do ~2 big international trips a year, and so instead of having leftover miles, I’ll just have to work harder to get the miles I need. For all you readers who struggle to accumulate 200K miles a year, I can feel your pain.
Misc news
- I got the order confirmation from Tesla for my Model 3. No order # or place in queue. I figure I’m number 90K or so. First 15K employees got first crack, then a portion of the 75K S owners (let’s say 25K), and then 100 stores * 500 people.
- Wife’s Chase Apps got rejected. 1 was for too many inquiries and the other was due to a debit/income ratio (my guess is the Infiniti SUV loan pushed her over)
- I’ll be updating my ‘2016 Miles and Points’ every quarter instead of monthly now this year
