Effective April 24, Northwest Airlines will no longer offer the ability to standby for a same day flight for free.
They casually slipped this policy change into a press release touting a new $25 confirmed standby, which the other major carriers have had for a long time already.(Gotta’ love marketing…)
Confirmed standby allows you to change your flight, on the day of departure, to any other flight departing the same day for $25 if seats are available.
The only difference is that NWA will require you to pay $25, whereas AA, Continental, Delta, And United all allow you to standby for free for a same day flight if you dont want to pay $25 for confirmed standby.
Will the other major carriers match? We’ll have to wait and see…but I can’t imagine at least a couple not going along with NWA…

Based on the apparent confusion of some commenters in the “On The Road” post, I figure this may help some people out.
Apparently people that signed up for the Amex Business Platinum card during the $250 cash back promo haven’t yet been charged the $300 annual fee.
I know I wasn’t, and at least 2 other people haven’t been as well.
Normally a credit card with an annual fee will bill you that fee in the first 2 statements of the card.
Yossi asked in the comments,
“How do you know that when you cancel(the amex plat.) they wont charge you for all the time you had the card??”
I may have never fully explained this, which is an oversight on my part.
When you sign up for a card with an annual fee, or if you sign up for a card which is free for the first year, you are never forced to pay the annual fee.
As long as you didn’t pay the statement with the annual fee charge on it you can call up the credit card and tell them that you do not agree to pay the annual fee.
One of two things will happen, either they will tell you that you may continue using the card for another year for free, or that you must cancel the card.
However, they will not and cannot force you to pay the annual fee!
In the case of the -$250 Amex Platinum, you can request the $250 back as a check, enjoy all of the amazing benefits for the year, and whenever they charge you the fee, just cancel the card!
So you never have to worry about cancelling a card before 12 months are up-just monitor your statements for the charge!(Or better yet, follow my strategy for cancelling cards in the knowledgebase)
Also of note, many companies, including AMEX will pro-rate the annual fee even if you’ve already paid it. So if a card has a $120 fee, but you cancel it 2 months after paying the fee, they will refund the $100.
I know Chase will not pro-rate, I’m not sure about other companies-feel free to comment if you have first-hand experience with another company.

This is one of the best “bang for the buck” ipod accessories that you can buy…
I recommend these over the more expensive EX71’s(awkward cord size) and the EX81’s(less comfortable design).
The retail is $40, get them from amazon for just over $25 shipped…
They come in black/silver and in the original ipod “mug-me-white” colors (They also come in blue and pink if you so desire to pay the extra $5 for that).

EX51 White ($25.96 Shipped)
Free shipping if you have amazon prime, otherwise you’ll need to add something else to get it shipped free…
