A few weeks ago, I kicked off the new year by taking a fun family trip to do some plane-spotting on Maho Beach. I booked our outbound flights on JetBlue using points, and purchased our return flights on United, paying for only a small portion of the tickets using my Citi Prestige card. For a … [Read More…]

It’s no secret that I really love flying JetBlue Mint class, and I’m thrilled that the airline is continuously expanding the product onto more of its routes. I consider Mint to be the best US first class product out there, and there are times where it can be super affordable either using cash or TrueBlue points.

A Loyalty Program I Forgot I Had Saved Me $250

January 25, 2017 by Angelina Aucello 7 Comments

In 2009, I visited the Sandals Whitehouse resort in Jamaica and absolutely loved the all-inclusive, romance experience. Back then, it was harder to find “high-end’ all-inclusive, and Sandals had a cream-of-the-crop reputation. For those who have vacationed at a Sandals all-inclusive property before, you probably already know it’s a treat- and it can cost a pretty penny. Even though I … [Read More…]

In 2016, I flew 35,000 premier qualifying miles on United; however, I was less than $50 short on the $3,000 spend requirement that is now in place to obtain Premier Silver status. As a former United 1K, it was quite an adjustment to go from a top-tier elite to just a “member”, but I know that my … [Read More…]

Nobody likes paying fees for award ticket changes – especially 2 of them back-to-back, but in a case like mine, it definitely makes sense. The Situation Last March, my spouse and I booked a one-way award ticket to Amman, Jordan to experience Turkish Airlines business class (still haven’t done) using 82,500 Aeroplan miles per ticket. … [Read More…]
