February 18, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 6 Comments

Yesterday, Hyatt made an announcement about a new promotion that was available immediately to their co-branded credit card holders, offering 20% of redeemed points back on free-night awards. The promotion was a pleasant surprise and it’s certainly lucrative and exciting. I’ve been a Hyatt Credit Card holder for a few years now, and it’s one … [Read More…]

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun after we made a last-minute decision to switch our St. Lucia trip to a trip to Cancun instead.

Don’t Make This Mistake When Traveling With a Lap Infant on an Avios Award

February 5, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 6 Comments

I think I’ve made it pretty clear by now that I hate the cold. After returning back from a great time away at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun a few days ago (review coming soon), my heart sank to return to 8 inches of snow and a frozen-shut car. I’ve only been home for 2 days … [Read More…]

As a valued MileagePlus® member, you are eligible for a limited-time opportunity to ensure Premier® Gold status for 2015. In addition, … [Read More…]

A Problem When Hidden City Ticketing Goes Mainstream

January 26, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 3 Comments

Skiplagged has been under a lot of heat this month when United and Orbitz both decided to move on in and sue the start-up for “exposing” ways to get cheaper flights, simply by finding routes that include your final destination city as a layover, allowing you to “skip” taking the last leg. With all of the media … [Read More…]

5 Ways to Milk Your Top-Tier United Status Before It Disappears

January 15, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 6 Comments

I know many people are in the same boat as me for 2015 – going from upper elite levels with United down to lowly Silver… or ::gasp::, nothing at all. I don’t feel so bad about the plunge though because the new PQD-spending requirement and mileage-earning devaluation that’s about to kick in in March make … [Read More…]

Stop “Junk” Mail Associated With Your American Express Platinum for a Statement Credit?

January 13, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 1 Comment

I personally have had my American Express Business Platinum card since February 2013 and have always found it worth it to pay the $450 annual fee (especially since mine came with a sign-up bonus of 100,000 Membership Rewards). While I love the perks of the card, there’s one “perk” that I didn’t love so much – … [Read More…]

January 12, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 10 Comments

I got excited when many blogs posted about the return of the new Hyatt Diamond challenge for 2015. I’ve been especially excited because I have 4 nights booked in a few weeks at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun that can satisfy 4/12 nights needed for the challenge. While bloggers seem to have such detailed information about … [Read More…]

Status Downgrades for 2015… and It’s Going to be OK

January 8, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 7 Comments

Ah, a new year means a new canvas in the world of points and miles, and I’ll be honest – I took a little bit of a hit in terms of status for 2015. But guess what? I’m OK with it. With so many devaluations, and my evolving travel patterns/family life, I’ve learned to prioritize … [Read More…]

Flight Schedule Change = A Whole New Trip in the Works

January 6, 2015 by Angelina Aucello 2 Comments

It’s pretty evident that I am obsessed with TheFlightDeal, and I especially get excited when a deal pops up from the New York area to somewhere warm and sunny in the middle of the winter. I am also a better spontaneous-traveler than a planner-aheader. Usually when I plan too far ahead with mistake fares and … [Read More…]
