I signed up for the BILT Mastercard because I found out that you can pay HOA dues with it, and it has no annual fee. The one downside is that has one of those annoying "you have to make a minimum of 5 transactions per billing period" rules and I didn't notice that until AFTER I'd gotten the card. Still, it's 25,000 United miles a year that I wouldn't earn otherwise, so I'll keep it. They try really hard to make it very Apple Card-like – high design, very App focused, very Apple pay – but they still mail you a physical card. Mine arrived yesterday and they definitely took Apple's clever design energy when they came up with this packaging.  If you want to start earning points paying your rent/HOA dues, I'd love it if you used my referral link . 

We're back from our Japan and Taipei trip and even though it took a lot of finagling , the actual travel was really smooth and pleasant. We've taken this 15 hour flight before, back in 2017 , and it was largely the same.  PROS EVA Air seems to be pricing one ways at half the cost of round trips Espresso onboard! They have new, very nice pajamas and the XL ones fit me now They kept the cabin at a reasonable temp this time (was super hot before) Dual jetways and very orderly boarding Great lounges in Taipei with showers and hot food Super attentive and helpful staff Extensive online menu for pre-booking meals NEUTRAL The flight didn't get any shorter and the plane didn't get any faster, so it's still 15 hours in the air ;) Seat-back entertainment didn't have a ton of good options Oddly-timed flight, you take off at 7pm, sleep a ton (if you're lucky) then land at 10pm and sorta need to go to bed again.  CON Krug is gone (but the Laurent Perrier is decent) Wi-Fi
