New Priority Club PointBreaks List is Out (and it’s a good one)

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.

Helping the Grandparents Maximize Choice Hotels on Their Western US Bucket List Trip

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.

How To Have a Hyatt Resort All To Yourself

In order to have a Hyatt (or presumably any other) resort all to yourself, just tag along on a work trip that your spouse has in the middle of the week in May.  In about three weeks this resort will be filled to the brim with families on summer break.  But today, it is all ours.  If you like some quiet and have the ability to travel “off-season”, you can… Read the Rest.

Club Carlson “Big Night” Updates and the Twitter Anti-Slumber Party

As the launch date for the Club Carlson “Big Night Giveaway” promo creeps forward, we have learned more details about how the promo will work and some ways to maximize the promo even more.  I have several posts on this promo already, but now that we know more, I’m going to put it all into one (hopefully) easy to read location in the form of a FAQ. What is the… Read the Rest.

Daily Getaways Day 22 (Tuesday): Fairmont Hotel Packages in NYC and Hawaii

I have loved the look of the Plaza Hotel in New York since seeing it in Home Alone 2 in the early 1990′s (perhaps the most memorable thing from that movie for me).  I was a kid, and that hotel looked to be the epitome of opulence.  When I lived in NYC, I never went into that hotel, in part because it was undergoing renovations for some of the time… Read the Rest.

Club Carlson “Big Night” Promos are Stackable – Up to 138,000 Points!

Apologies for the multiple posts on the Radisson promo today, but every few hours the promo just kept getting better and better (or rather we just kept learning more and more details), so I am continuing to share the good news.

Country Inn & Suites and Park Inn by Radisson Also Doing “Big Night Giveaway”?

Thanks to a very interesting comment on this post by Tim2, I learned that Country Inn & Suites and Park Inn by Radisson may be doing their own version of a Big Night Giveaway – only for 44,000 points instead of 50,000 points.  However, the 6,000 point trade-off will be worth it to many who don’t have a Radisson or Radisson Blu in their area.  This would open this promo… Read the Rest.

As I speculated this weekend, it looks like the rumor is confirmed and the Radisson Big Night Giveaway is back! As the landing page suggests, registration will open in a little over seven days – at midnight Eastern on May 15th.   Last time I stayed up until midnight Eastern (Tweeting along with other miles and points junkies the whole time), but registration stayed for what seemed like weeks after that,… Read the Rest.
