It’s always nice when you receive free miles by surprise. Last week was Dad’s birthday, and since I live an hour away from my parents, we Googled a half-way point for us to meet for a birthday dinner. I had no clue that our restaurant selection was part of the dining program, nor did I … [Read More…]
I Got a Random Free Gift from United – How About You?
I love unexpected pleasant surprises from airlines in my inbox (like my free Platinum status from American Airlines a few months ago). Just a few moments ago, I opened an email from United offering me the choice of a Regional Premier Upgrade certificate or 2 United Club Lounge passes, along with the opportunity to earn … [Read More…]
JetBlue Status Challenge and Status Match
I’ll be honest – I haven’t flown JetBlue in about 7 years (ok, I lied, I did get in on the $10 fares to Vegas in 2010). It’s not like I have anything against the airline, it’s just that I prefer flying out of EWR rather than JFK, and that’s a valid reason in itself. … [Read More…]
Stupid News: An Airbnb Orgy
I personally am a huge fan of Airbnb, and I have used it on both ends of the spectrum. When I’ve hosted and rented my place out to travelers during times of long stretches of travel to help cover the cost of rent, I’ve had nothing but polite and respectable guests. I’ve also been a … [Read More…]
My Retention Bonus Results… Blah
Last February, I applied for several new points and miles cards. I can’t believe how fast a year can zoom by – before I knew it, I realized all of the annual fees have posted. Of course, I immediately got on the phone to see if the fee could be waived or if I would … [Read More…]

The United / Vinesse Wine Offer is a Pretty Good Deal
I love wine; and I love saving money on wine. After purchasing 8 bottles of wine this weekend at about $12 a pop for a family gathering (which ultimately turned into a giant app-o-rama… more on that later), I decided that it might be time to consider joining a wine club… even for only a … [Read More…]
Miles in a Minute: Credit Card Updates, Promo Codes, and More
Happy March! Too bad it still feels and looks like January outside. I can’t wait until some warm sunny days grace the northeast. Apologies for not posting as often – Baby Points Traveler has been a handful, and I’ve been operating on single digits of sleep for the entire week – someone please tell me … [Read More…]
Getting Caught Doing Naughty Things by a Loyalty Program
I’ve said it many times before – I “wear the points” in my family. What I mean by that is I take much joy in managing Mr. Points Traveler and my own loyalty account balances. I will soon have to add a 3rd collection of loyalty programs to the roster now that Baby Points Traveler has … [Read More…]

How neat – Â I love when social media is awesome (related post). What started as a simple tweet is about to turn into a permanent offering.
