Happy Friday and Happy Birthday Weekend to my husband! Think he would be mad if he got Hertz points for his birthday?? Okay, Hertz points probably wouldn’t make a great birthday present for him, but they are still a very solid deal. Today there are three different Hertz packages for sale on the Daily Getaways website ranging from 5,000 points to 15,000 points. Free rentals start at 500 points for… Read the Rest.
I have to admit, that I kind of ignored this deal a little until I started reading more of the fine print. While this deal isn’t overly exciting, it actually doesn’t look half-bad as a way to save a little money with Alamo car rentals. The way this deal works is you buy a $50 discount certificate for $25 (or $22.50 with an Amex card), and then you can apply… Read the Rest.
Before I talk about the next Daily Getaways deal, I want to do a quick recap of how the first day of the Daily Getaways Deals went. I was successful in purchasing one package of 25,000 Priority Club points today from the Daily Getaways Day One sale. I got in right when the presale started, but within a minute or two the presale packages had been spoken for. There was… Read the Rest.
Despite the sticker shock (hello $330!!) I experienced when we kept a Hertz reservation made with Gold Points one extra day while in Colorado a couple months ago, I still think that Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points are pretty valuable when redeemed for expensive car rentals. Both my husband and I have Hertz Gold accounts with some points sitting in them. However, up until recently, I didn’t realize that there… Read the Rest.
Here is the next post in my mini-series about our adventures taking our daughter to Colorado. This post should be a good one if you plan to travel with a toddler, because that is what it is all about. It covers many of the logistics of getting to Colorado and back with her. Additionally, a chunk of this post will be about the United Club in Terminal E in Houston,… Read the Rest.
Tonight is the eve of what is typically one of the busiest travel days of the year – the day before Thanksgiving. I remember living in New York City for grad school and flying home to Texas the day before Thanksgiving. It was always an entertaining experience, to say the least. Fortunately, I now live a mere two streets away from my parents, and Thanksgiving is actually at my house… Read the Rest.
I’ve been so focused on my husband’s Grand Slam action recently, that I have honestly forgotten where exactly I stand with my own hits. So, I decided that tonight is the night to catch up on my own GS 2011 action. I’ve pretty much completed most of the easy hits where I just order things online, so I am now primarily completing hotel stays and rental car transactions. My hotel… Read the Rest.
Another post from The Man… On our recent trip to San Antonio for our anniversary last month, we rented a car to get a Grand Slam hit and to keep the miles down on our personal vehicles. Although Houston to San Antonio is manageable by car, the duration would have been difficult for Little C, so this trip was perfect for road traveling, since it was just Mommy Points and… Read the Rest.
If I am being honest, rental car points have never been very high on my priority list. I’ve gotten a free rental here and there over the years, but never anything to jump up and down over. That changed dramatically today! I signed my husband and myself up for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards a few months ago when they started giving away 500 points (enough for a free weekend rental… Read the Rest.
In case you missed it, National Car Rental sponsored a $100 gas gift card giveaway in order to promote their new 1, 2, Free rental car promotion. You can learn all about their 1, 2, Free promotion here (or just go ahead and register for their promo here). Basically, you make two qualifying rentals of two days or more and earn one free day to use. Sounds great to me!… Read the Rest.
