A lot of my friends headed to Ireland in March for St. Patrick’s Day. As much as I wanted to join them, timing was bad, as I had just had a baby on Valentine’s Day. Dublin has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I think I am going to finally pull … [Read More…]
Packing Mishaps Solved by Thrifting
I’ve been so excited for my first solo “back in action” trip. My mother agreed to care for Baby Points Traveler, so that I could have a weekend for myself (complete with lots of sleeping in). What a great belated birthday gift! In short, my extended-weekend plans looked like this: Thursday and Friday in Seattle … [Read More…]
A Passenger Sent Me a Drink on My #VirginAmerica Flight Today
Today is the Freddie Awards in Seattle, and I am flying on Virgin America for the very first time. I booked this flight for just 6697 elevate points back when there was a transfer bonus with American Express Membership Rewards. It was a great redemption, and I was excited to try the airline out since … [Read More…]
Book Your Winter-to-Summer Escape Using United Miles Now
There are very few things I chase in life… love, happiness, points and miles, and last, but not least – sunshine. There are two summers each year, and I think everyone should celebrate both.

The Southwest Standard Award Trick – Up to 80% Off Flights
I’m excited to head to Seattle in a few days for the Freddie Awards and FTU. However, instead of returning back to NJ afterwards, I made a last-minute (surprise surprise) decision to spend a few days in Miami with friends. Luckily I had originally booked my return SEA-EWR on Southwest points, so I was able … [Read More…]
Sometimes a Staycation is All You Need
Since giving birth to Baby Points Traveler back in February, my traveling has obviously come to a halt. While I enjoyed being a new mom, I had been suffering from major cabin fever during the cold, gray winter months. As a treat to ourselves, Mr. Points Traveler and I had booked a romantic post-baby trip … [Read More…]
27,500 Miles to Europe in Premium Economy This Summer and Other Gems on the Virgin Atlantic Chart
I love stretching my miles as much as I can to get me to more places rather than always splurging on luxurious first and business class seats (though treating myself is always fun). A good college friend of mine invited me to spend a few days with her in London this summer, and instead of resorting … [Read More…]
Creating “Mega Trips” with United Miles and Avios
Do you ever get the urge to take a mega-trip? Not a quick weekend to Nice like I just booked, but a few weeks to several cities. I’m planning to book a multi-city hop to Asia this fall, so I’m exploring all of my redemption options now. It can be hard to visit several cities … [Read More…]
I Can’t Buy American Airlines Gift Cards with my AmEx #NJProblems
I’m sure by now, many of you already know that one of the benefits of the American Express Platinum cards is the $200 yearly airline fee credit (if not, see this post), and one way to satisfy that credit is to purchase airline gift cards. Earlier in the year, American Express noted that their US … [Read More…]
