Ram Linky
It’s a lot cheaper to buy ram this way, then to upgrade the ram on a dell 710m when you buy it…

I’ve gotten a few emails from people asking to pick one of the free airline credit cards as the best choice.
As all of the cards give roughly the same benefits (besides the AA card that gives a 7,500 mile discount to select destinations each quarter) essentially what the question boils down to is, “What is the best mileage program out there?”

Here is my experience with 4 of the major mileage programs.

First off, a major factor is the ability to actually be able to use the miles:
Mileage Seat Availability Rankings:
1.AA
2.United
3.Delta
4.Continental

The next factor is the amount of miles they charge once you do find availability…
(Helpful Tip: Many times an airline tries to sell you an unrestricted coach ticket for about twice the amount of miles as the restricted ones, however often there are restricted business or first class seats available for less than the unrestricted coach seats-so always be sure to check on those first!)

For standard awards:
Notes:
-Some award prices listed here are for travel on partner airlines.
-Delta’s Business Elite And Continental’s Business First Products Are Somewhat Of A Combination Of Business And First Class, And Are Classified Here For The Sake Of Simplicity As First Class.
-My apologies for the crude chart, I will host an excel file for download in the future, but this should work well as a quick reference.

——————————————————————-
United…………………………Coach, Business, First
Continental US, Canada……..25……….40………60
Hawaii, Caribbean…………..35………..60………80
S. America……………………50………..80………100
Europe………………………….60……….80………100
Asia……………………………..60……….90………120
Australia……………………….60……….90……….120
Israel…………………………….75……….115………140
Notes:
-All 3 Classes To Australia Are A Bargain!
-Generally Lower Premium Class Travel Rates Than The Other Airlines…
-One Of The Few Airlines That Dont Have A Surcharge For Last Minute Award Bookings(Although There Are Ways Of Circumventing The Expedite Fee On The Other Airlines As Well…)
-So-So Availability

Asia………………………….50………………65…………90……….125
Australia……………………N/A…………….75………..125……….140
Israel…………………………N/A……………..75……….135………180
Notes:
-Best Availability In The Industry
-Only Airline To Have Peak And Off-Peak Awards, The Off-Peak Awards Are True Bargains, But The Peak Awards Are Higher Than Other Airlines’ Standard Awards…
-Only Airline That Counts All Miles Earned(Even Credit Card Bonus Miles) Towards Million Mile Lifetime Elite Status.

Airline miles are perhaps the best deal you can get for signing up for a credit card, just look at a ticket to Australia-they sell for about $1500 or so, yet with as little as 45,000 miles you have a free ticket there-putting a $700 value on a 20,000 mile bonus-not too shabby-and a heck of a lot better than a free t-shirt!
1. Delta-Amex:
Pros:
17,500 miles at signup. (20000 miles if you request a 2nd card.) No fee for 12 months.
Cons:
Bonus can only be earned once.(In other words, you can’t cancel the card and sign up again to get another 17,500 mile signup bonus)

-And one more thing-please, please dont even bother with the Capital One card-it is just a scam and can’t even compare with any of these cards…

I am more amazed by the day at what google sms can do.
For those of you who dont use this service you dont know just what you’re missing out on!!!
You can look up any phone number, get addresses, directions, weather forecasts, stock quotes, definitions all for free (no additional charge from google-just pay for whatever your standard sms rate is) in a matter of seconds!

Here’s a quick tutorial just to show how flexible it is:
Send a message to 46645(Googl).

For a phone number or address just type in either:
-place, zip
-place, city

For directions to the airport, for example:
-from 770 eastern parkway 11213 to JFK

For weather just type w and the city or zip code.

For stock quotes just enter the ticker symbol.

For definitions just type d and then the word to be defined.
