Welcome Racked readers! For those who are just stumbling onto this blog this week, you got an elevator-pitch summary of who I am and how I fund my travels (through maximizing points, miles, and deals).

US Airways MasterCards Are Being Converted in June
Now that American Airlines and US Airways have combined programs, many of us were left wondering what would come of our existing co-branded airline credit cards.

Dad Post: Thailand and Cambodia Tours and “Splurges”
Yesterday I blogged about the flights I took and the hotels we stayed at using points and miles during my trip to Thailand and Cambodia with my wife. Today, I’m going to share some of the tours and excursions we did while on your trip. Of course, we could afford to “splurge” on activities and … [Read More…]
I’m Too Old For This
I forgot what today was,  but all I know is that I peeled out of bed this morning when I received this text from Dad: I then sent over the link to some of my closest travel buddies.

Should Your Hotel “Check Up” On You?
Not too long ago, I posted about my plan to take advantage of a great way to earn a boatload of Club Carlson points by booking a 3-night stay to satisfy several stackable promotions (FYI, the points have posted, and I’ve earned just shy for 60K points). Long story short, I decided to book my … [Read More…]
IHG is Basically Giving Me a Free Night For My Birthday… With Strings Attached
I’m a pretty big fan of IHG’s loyalty program (especially now since the newly-annouced merger with Kimpton), and I recently blogged about why the IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card smashes others out of the water. To add icing to the cake, I got what looked like “junk mail” the other day. In fact, it was … [Read More…]
