Enter a contest to win 100,000 SPG points.……but more importantly for those of us who don’t win these sorts of contests, just pick up your free 100 SPG points by filling out a short form on Facebook and say thankyouverymuch. Sure 100 points isn’t much, but this is the kind of thing you do for everyone in your family that you can (especially since you can transfer SPG points… Read the Rest.
This post is alternatively titled, “Never Earn 1x Again.” “Never” should really be in quotes as sometimes family life is a little too crazy or busy to never just earn 1x, but it can be the very rare exception with a little planning and thought. At the Frequent Traveler University, there was some discussion about category bonuses on credit cards (for example 3x on groceries with the Amex Premier Rewards… Read the Rest.
Over the last few days, I have spent hours upon hours with miles and points enthusiasts living, eating, sleeping, and breathing miles and points. Basically, one of my own forms of Heaven. One of the awards given out at both the Freddie Awards on Thursday and at the Frequent Traveler University this weekend was related to the best rewards credit cards. The one at the Freddie Awards was voted upon… Read the Rest.
SPG has been slowly announcing information related to the next Starwood Preferred Guest promo via social media and miles and points message boards. The concept is pretty cool – you choose the months you want to earn the bonus awards and you choose which bonus award to earn. However, the big question has been – will the bonuses be any good? If what LovetoTravel83 posted on Flyertalk is correct and… Read the Rest.
According to Starwood Lurker, the official voice of the Starwood Preferred Guest program on Flyertalk, the next Starwood promotion will be called “Nice Choice” and registration will begin on May 1st.

Members will have… Read the Rest.
Today is the day that the months of playing the US Airways Grand Slam last fall paid off. Well, at least one of the days, I suppose the days we are on are trip are really when they will pay off, but securing the award availability you want is pretty exciting by itself. I played the Grand Slam with a specific goal in mind – two tickets in US Airways… Read the Rest.
Starwood just announced a new promotion that will award 1,000 bonus SPG points per stay at any of the 26 recently renovated properties listed below. That is a pretty nice bonus if your travel plans were going to take you to one of these hotels anyway (or, all other factors being equal, maybe even it is worth switching to one of these properties for a night). This promo runs until… Read the Rest.
I should have done this post a little earlier since the Marriott deadline is just hours away, but this is final call for some miles and points related things that end within the next couple of days….or in the next couple of hours in some cases. Marriott’s annual category adjustments go into effect on 3/15, so there are only a couple more hours to lock in an award at the… Read the Rest.
As has already been posted on View From the Wing and One Mile at a Time, US Airways is running a special until 3/31 while you can get a 50% bonus on all hotel points transferred into the Dividend Miles program. It should come as no surprise that this US Airways Grand Slam junkie really loves US Airways miles. Especially for their 60,000 mile round-trip off-peak ticket to Europe in… Read the Rest.
This is one of my favorite posts in the series about our trip to take our toddler to see snow in Beaver Creek, Colorado as it covers lots of the “fun stuff” to do at the Westin Beaver Creek Resort and the Villas. What made the resort so spectacular was the amenities, so I am excited to share some of the details with you now. If you want to catch… Read the Rest.
