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.

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.

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.

As I write this we are about six hours away from the “go live” time for two of the three Club Carlson “Big Night” promos. The three promos provide at least 138,000 Club Carlson points if you do all three. That is a ton of points! The Radisson and Country Inn & Suites promos launch tonight at 12:01AM CDT. Yes, the whole world should be on “Texas Time”. The… Read the Rest.

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.

Update: I confirmed that the 100K BA Avios offer is set to expire from the affiliate channels as well on June 7th, so plan accordingly if you want in on this offer while it lasts. Playing catch-up in the points world. Ready, set, go! In my inbox, today I saw an email from British Airways about the current British Airways Visa Signature Card sign-up offer that awards up to 100,000… Read the Rest.

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.

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. This time we have learned that the three different Big Night promos for Radisson/Radisson Blu, Park Inn by Radisson, and Country Inn & Suites are all stackable! What this… Read the Rest.

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.
