I book a lot of my family get-togethers using miles, especially when prices are high if I were to actually buy a ticket instead. Back in April, Mr. Points Traveler and I enjoyed a nice post-baby 3-night trip to Aruba. I actually booked the trip ahead of time, before even giving birth, because I knew … [Read More…]
Amex Offer: $5 Back on $25 or More at Bed, Bath & Beyond
Not sure if this is targeted, but I logged into Amex and saw an offer for $5 back on $25 from now until Sept 2. My local BB&B sells giftcards to other retailers (no Amazon though), and they also sell Visa and MasterCard gift cards for a fee ($3.95 for $25 or $5.95 for $100). … [Read More…]
Should I Go to Seoul?
I suck at planning ahead. With that being said, I *impulsively* booked the BOS-ICN mistake fare that was live for a day a few months ago. The “deal” was a ~$1,700 round trip in United GlobalFirst. The beauty of it all was that it booked in into United “A” fare class, meaning it’s totally refundable. … [Read More…]
Frontier Announces 10 New Routes + Great Sale
I have yet to fly with Frontier, but I am open-minded about trying their service, especially from Trenton. Many people assume Frontier is a step above Spirit Airlines (can anyone vouch?), but sometimes their prices are just too tempting to say no. Yes, you’ll most likely have to pay baggage fees, but if you pack … [Read More…]
Alaska Airlines Same Day Change Policy is Awesome
I’ve mentioned it enough – I had a pretty tedious time finding award space from NY to Seattle for the first weekend of August, so I decided to allow myself a full day in Vancouver since award space there was wide-spread. I knew it would be easy to hop down to Seattle from YVR, and … [Read More…]
There’s Hope – Complimentary Gate Upgrades DO Still Exist
Just thought this post would serve as a reminder that good stories do still exist – and how it simply never hurts to ask. I am currently sitting in 6F on my flight from SEA-PHX; I cashed in and used some of my 500-mile upgrades, and I was ecstatic when the “You Have Been Upgraded” … [Read More…]
Dad Post: Challenges of Booking a Family Trip to Puglia, Italy
I sent this post to Angelina in April, and she kept “losing” it in her email, kinda like how her “phone dies” when I call her, lol. Finally, I get a call from her this weekend while she’s at the Seattle session. Turns out that her blogger friend Dia, The Deal Mommy, is en route to Puglia … [Read More…]
A Day in Vancouver
What a great first time in Vancouver! A while back, IÂ wrote about my impossible struggles finding award space to Seattle for the first weekend in August. I decided that flying to Vancouver first, before heading down to Seattle, would be the most sensible option. I booked myself a business class seat on Cathay Pacific from … [Read More…]
“You Seem Awfully Young to Have a Platinum Card”
I’m just leaving Vancouver after an amazing 36 hours here, and I’m now at YVR in the Premium Plaza Lounge waiting to take my flight to Seattle for the Seattle sessions this weekend. I was minding my business when an older gentleman looked over and [casually] asked me how I got into the lounge. “You … [Read More…]
Hotel Review: Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez
I took an amazing trip to the French Riviera with friends last weekend and had a chance to take a quick hop to Cannes, Monte Carlo, and Nice. My first stop was Cannes, and it included a night at the Grand Hyatt Cannes. Since I was traveling with friends, we had two rooms at this … [Read More…]
