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.
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.
I browse online for clothes, home decor, and airfare that I don’t need/can’t afford (everyone does that, right?!), so while doing that today I found some info I want to pass along in case it helps anyone else out. I posted earlier today about the limited time British Airways sale that involves business class round trip tickets to London from several US cities for less than $2000 in honor of… Read the Rest.
If you read my site much you know that I am a former Continental gal – now a new United gal by default. Most of this is because I live in Houston, and well, what other airline would make sense for me? Also, on the whole I really liked Continental, and want to really like United. So, because of my location and because of the very high value of UA… Read the Rest.
I learned a few lessons today in the miles and points world that I wanted to share so you can avoid the mistakes I made. I guess in truth they weren’t really lessons learned so much as just good reminders for things I already knew. Also, I will announce the winner of the $100 United credit! 1. If you think you might want extremely inexpensive airport lounge access via the… Read the Rest.
Update: I am deeply sorry, but it seems I am not able to distribute these codes via this blog. I highly recommend that you try and visit the United Club to get a code of your own. Again, very sorry for this confusion. If the situation changes, I will happily give out the codes that I have. In the meantime, we will give away a $100 United gift card instead!… Read the Rest.
I’m not too big on posting about contests, but since I love United miles so much, and I do know that a reader has won one of these in the past, I wanted to make sure you knew that United MileagePlus Shopping is running a contest that awards one grand prize of 50,000 miles and four other prizes of 25,000 miles each. The sweepstakes runs until 5/4, and you can… Read the Rest.
While Weeks 1 and 2 of the Daily Getaways don’t include any “show stopper” deals, Week 3 of Daily Getaways sees the return of the awesome Wyndham points deal. Last year I was able to buy two of the 32,000 point packages and made great use of both of them for stays for my parents at hotels that would have cost them many times what I paid for the points. … Read the Rest.
Are the “Airline Gods” trying to tell me something? My AA mileage run has turned into a direct flight home on United…..my hometown airline. I think it might be a sign. Due to the tornadoes and storms in DFW last night, all Hell has broken loose on the AA network, especially with flights going through Dallas. I was not surprised in the least when I was automatically re-booked on an… Read the Rest.
The Chase Sapphire bonus going down isn’t the only news in the credit card miles and points world today. There are a few more pieces of info that I want to make sure and share…..all of which are good news! There is once again a 30,000 point sign-up offer for the Chase Freedom card! This bonus seems to fluctuate between 20,000, 25,000 and 30,000 points, but I am happy to… Read the Rest.
