Time for Part 2 in my series about preparing for a potential 2012 US Airways Grand Slam. I did not prepare in advance for last year’s Grand Slam and still earned about 120,000 miles from the promo (and that was just counting my account), so while preparation isn’t necessary, it can make the Grand Slam a bit less expensive and a bit easier. To learn more about the Grand Slam,… Read the Rest.
Over the course of the year, one of the most consistent things I am asked is “What is the Grand Slam?”. A follow-up question is usually “What do I need to do to get ready for it?”. Both are great questions, and I think now is a good time to do a quick US Airways Grand Slam refresher for those who are new to miles and points, or for those… Read the Rest.
Update: The deal is now “sold out”. Wonder why? There is still “word art” available for $10, but that puts the cost per mile out of the great range, unless you actually want some word art, and then it is again a good deal. I’ll keep an eye on these deals and post again the next time there is an inexpensive one so that more of you can share… Read the Rest.
This is hardly surprising given that many other mileage earning debit cards have gone away in the past year or so, but I was a bit sad when I got a letter in the mail today from Bank of America informing me that as of 9/30 the US Airways debit card will be replaced with a regular old Bank of America debit card. Card holders will receive a prorated refund… 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.
I have been checking the US Airways site almost daily for a month or so now as they release 2013 off-peak award availability. I was a huge fan of the US Airways Grand Slam last fall, and collected enough miles for my husband and I to go to Europe in their Envoy Suites next year. There has not been much availability……until today. Admittedly, I have been too sick and too… Read the Rest.
Time to play catch-up in the world of miles and points. Lots of points and only a little time. In case this week has been as crazy for your family as it has been for mine, here are some summaries of different miles and points deals being talked about in the point’s world. If you might have some Priority Club stays coming up, make sure to register for 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.
It’s a Friday night, so I will keep this short and simple since I am sure you all have hot plans for the evening. Or, if you are like me, you will be catching up on recorded television shows from the week with your partner while your little one snoozes in their room down the hallway. Hot night indeed. This serves as your official reminder that it is now February,… Read the Rest.
If you are like me and spend a fair amount of your monthly income on food, then make sure you register for this “Get Ahead Bonus” dining promo through the Rewards Network. With the Rewards Network, you typically earn 3 miles per dollar spent on dining at eligible restaurants when you pay using a registered credit card. Once you have 12 qualified dining transactions in a calendar year, you obtain… Read the Rest.
