This is a targeted one, but if you like United miles check your email accounts to see if you were targeted for 500 bonus MileagePlus miles after making a $50 purchase in the Mileage Plus Shopping portal though 6/17. So far I was not personally targeted, but one of my family members was. They do have a special that awards 3x miles on some retailers that is available for everyone…. Read the Rest.
Priority Club has just launched the next quarter’s PointBreaks hotel list……and it is a pretty good one! PointBreaks are one of the best hotel points deals out there. For just 5,000 Priority Club points, you can secure a night at a variety of hotels ranging from Holiday Inn Express Hotels to Intercontinental Hotels to Crowne Plaza Resorts. 5,000 Priority Club points can be obtained for as little as about $35,… Read the Rest.
First, apologies for the brevity of this post. My own lovely toddler thought that it would be fun to wake up in the middle of the night yesterday meowing (yes, like a cat), so sleep was in short supply. I’m out of my old “up for middle of the night feedings routine”, so it’s an early bedtime for me today. That said, I couldn’t ignore this USA Today article I… Read the Rest.
Update: I started a thread on Milepoint since there is at least some interest in this. This could be a great way to hang out and earn credit for the promo many of us will be doing anyway. Head over to Milepoint to brainstorm details or RSVP! I’ve gotten a few comments, emails, and tweets related to doing a Park Inn by Radisson meet-up. Since there are only ten in… Read the Rest.
One of the questions I get/stories I hear with some regularity, relates to families trying to get seats together on the plane without paying extra to do so. This is an issue that won’t effect some readers of this site who have elite status with one airline or another, but for many readers who don’t hold elite status (including me), this is a very real issue. What has happened over… Read the Rest.
Oh what a difference a letter can make. The Country Inn and Suites and Radisson promos launched a week ago today at 12:01AM CDT, but (just to throw me off, I’m certain) the Park Inn promo today launches at 12:01AM CET. That is seven hours earlier than midnight CDT. Not that there is a need for a mad dash to register, but you can do it much earlier in the… Read the Rest.
I got an email from a reader yesterday that his 44,000 bonus points from the Country Inn and Suites “Stay One, Get One” promo have already posted from his 5/15 stay (thanks for the email, Brad!). While the terms say 6-8 weeks, the bonus points posted within a few days for many last go round as well, so this isn’t overly surprising. It is good news though since now you… Read the Rest.
My first statement for my New Ink Bold business card recently closed. In my own weird sick world, that is actually really exciting. For the first time I could see the 5x bonus categories of telecommunications and office supplies at work. Since I am trying to meet my $5000 minimum spending requirement, I put the majority of my expenses on this card for the month. In total, my family charged… Read the Rest.
My parents (Little C’s grandparents) are about to embark on a two week road trip adventure through Yosemite, Sequoia National Forest, the Pacific Coast, and Las Vegas. It was another one of their “Bucket List” trips. Planning for this trip started at least a year ago, and I posted some about booking their flights on points here. Now that we are closer to their departure date, I asked my dad… Read the Rest.
Woohoo! I posted yesterday that while I really like (ok, love) the Club Carlson Big Night Giveaway, I was very disappointed that they had posted on their Facebook page that existing reservations would count before the promo launched, only to then delete that post and say that only reservations made after the promotion started on May 15th would count. This means that some folks now had non-refundable reservations that wouldn’t… Read the Rest.
