A few updates: Shortly after sending my complaint to Uber, I received a favorable response and apology from customer service, including an adjustment of the fare from XL to X. I also learned that to protect rider and driver privacy, riders and drivers cannot view ratings for a specific trip. Driver-partners will never see exactly which rider … [Read More…]
The $20 Trick in Vegas Does Not Always Work
Mr. Points Traveler and I are currently in Vegas for a few nights celebrating our wedding anniversary. Our first two nights are at The Cosmopolitan, and they were comped thanks to a big casino win during my husband’s last trip here. I booked the third night at The Bellagio using the American Express FHR program, and we’ll … [Read More…]

My Experience With a United “Plan B” Award
Last week I took a spontaneous trip to Barcelona and spent some much-needed girl time with a good friend of mine. I booked the trip using miles, 5 days before departure, and I had a blast exploring a new beautiful European city.

10 Uber Hacks to Maximize Your Experience
I absolutely love Uber and have been using it since its beta stages years ago. It’s no surprise that it grew to be the enterprise it is today, and I’ve even met other travelers who have given up their own personal cars to solely rely on Uber when needed (it does make financial sense)! Here … [Read More…]
Possible Changes Coming For Kimpton? I Hope It’s Not This!

I normally ignore such requests, but since I am so fanatical about Kimpton, I truly wanted to give them my honest feedback (especially since I want to tell them how good of a job they’ve been doing! About 25% into the survey, … [Read More…]

5 Ways Selfie Sticks Are Ruining Travel
I’m not what they call an “early adopter” by any means. When the selfie stick first debuted around a year ago, I hated them. Fast forward to today, I still hate them. Maybe I’m just not a fan of selfies in general (though I am occasionally guilty), but I get annoyed when I flip through … [Read More…]
Hotel Review: Hyatt Centric South Beach
I’m just winding down from a great trip to South Beach with my mom and both kids (traveling with the two of them was so easy a few weeks ago, that I wasted no time in deciding to do it again). Miami has always been my “sweet-spot” getaway of choice thanks to Avios, and I … [Read More…]
10 Tips for Flying with 2 Lap Infants
I recently took my first flight with not only one, but two lap infants. I’ll admit – I was absolutely terrified of the idea of traveling on a 6-hour flight with two babies, especially since my oldest is now 15 months old and full of energy. Like most parents do, I mentally prepared for the worst, and … [Read More…]
