25% off using Thankyou network points for flights

Avaliable only to member with Citi Premier Mastercard(formally PPE), you can see discount on your redemption page. Citi just changed the card from PPE to Premier with even worse benefit, I guess this is the way to keep their customer.

1 point=1 cent

US grand slam and Country Inn 15000 points per say promotion

I post here and here step by step instruction on US Airways Grand Slam promotion,  this is one more update, I suggest you read all three posts before plan your own Grand Slam

Recently, there is a promotion from Country Inn , where you can get 15000 bonus points as long as your stay Sun – Thursday, I checked the rate, a single Sun night stay at certain hotels are pretty cheap,  you can change your earning preference to Miles for your stay, this will count as one hit, then once you get your points, you can transfer your points to US airways for one more hit.( I am double checking on this now), if you don’t feel safe while I am checking, you can just do the points earning, once you get 15000 points, you can transfer to your US airways account. IF you have family member with same last name, you can transfer 2500 points to each of your family members to get hits for them,

In addition, I have mentioned super shuttle before, if you don’t need the shuttle, but still want to get the hit, find a $8 rate with $3 discount code UYR59, then no show. You will still get 50 miles. Most $5 can be get from selected airport to nearby airport hotels.

I hope everyone can benefit from the post to hit Grand Slam with min effort and cost!
