Here is some of the best travel news and notes from around the Internet:
- Loved this post from View from the Wing about what happens to your miles and points when you die.  Best advice was to use something like Award Wallet (#1 in my rankings of the Top 10 miles and points tools!) so that your next of kin can still access your account
- I’m always up for reading about people’s redemption choices – here was a great one from The Points of Life – a 60,000 mile business class trip from Shanghai to Bangkok.
- As a Cincinnati resident, I loved reading the report of how the FCC nailed the owner of the Duke Energy Convention Center for illegal wi-fi blocking. Â Having been there several times and noticed how they block other wi-fi so they can try to charge you $80 / day.
- I try to vary my manufactured spending a little bit. Â My first foray into gift card reselling ended up in a disaster, so I could commiserate with Shawn from Miles to Memories bemoaning how Amazon lost his FBA shipment!
Up for more travel news? Â Here’s the previous installment:Â Well how long would it take YOU to hike 58 mountains?:Â 58 mountain peaks in 10 days, keeping travel expenses down, fighting lack of Hyatt award availability, a nightmare Frontier experience, and Alaska / Emirates

Re: Chase
If it were just UR points I would say no. But Chase is not approving apps for any cards (United, BA etc) if you have too many new accounts in the past 24 months.
That worries me.
That has not been my experience, based on the current credit card signup rules – I thought it was just for the Chase branded cards (Freedom, Sapphire, Ink)
