We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

One of the Most Profitable Airlines in the US May Soon Feel the Wrath of a Pilot Strike – Will You Be Affected?

    One of the most popular low-cost airlines in the US may very soon be at a standstill!

    Allegiant Air pilots intend to strike unless the airline rectifies a scheduling system that is making family life difficult for them.  It’s a “homemade” system that violates industry standards, and ignores pilot seniority and planned time off.

    Allegiant Flies Dirt Cheap to Fun Destinations, Like Fort Lauderdale

    The airline is known for being concerned about little else than profit margin.  It appears as though they couldn’t care less about safety, and they treat their employees poorly.  It’s a little refreshing to see the pilots are fighting back.

    Allegiant doesn’t have a particularly valuable points program (we do NOT recommend opening the Allegiant credit card).  So this strike will probably NOT affect those of us in the miles & points community too much.  Though it’s possible that lots of folks who planned to fly Allegiant will consequently book flights on airlines like American Airlines and Delta, and we could see fewer award seats available.

    Admittedly, I fly on low-cost airlines like Allegiant and Frontier when their prices are crazy low.  That’s because I’d rather save my miles & points for a more expensive route later.

    I recently flew Allegiant to Florida to attend a wedding.  The seats were comfortable enough, and I paid $37 one-way.  My carry-on bag cost extra, but the price was still WELL below airlines like American Airlines or Delta.
