I recently posted that I’ll be heading down to Miami for July 4th weekend after I had two successful BRG hotel claims (note: since that post, I managed to snag another successful BRG too!). Since it was cheaper [by far] to fly from EWR-MIA from Wednesday-Wednesday, I figured I’d block out a few days after … [Read More…]
My Little Brother is Preparing for His First Real Churn + First Time Churner Advice
“Little brother” – heh. The title paints him to sound like I’m talking about a 10 year old… but he’s 23 (almost), living on his own in Aiken, SC, and ready to dive full force into the points and miles world (finally!). Granted the fact that he has grown up in a points-and-miles-obsessed family, he … [Read More…]
Dad Post: Choosing My Next Value Destination Using the Big Mac Index
I recently came across the “Big Mac Indexâ€, which was created by The Economist in 1986. Even though I’ve stumbled across these annual reports multiple times during my 30+ years in the financial services industry, I never really paid attention to it until now.

I found out about HowAboutWe via a targeted ad that appeared in my Facebook newsfeed about a week ago. I’m new to … [Read More…]
Two Successful Hotel Best Rate Guarantees For Me + BRG Tips and Policies
A few friends of mine have been bugging me to join them in South Beach, Miami for July 4 weekend for some time now, and I never bit the bullet because I had forever been under the impression that Miami is SUPER expensive in general, and would be ridiculously-priced, especially during the holiday weekend. Well … [Read More…]

Win British Airways Avios Via Facebook
I stumbled across a post in my newsfeed about a British Airways’ instant-win slots game on Facebook called “Instant Avios“ where you can win up to 60,000 Avios (complete T+C). You may enter daily until May 13, 2013, and you can earn more “tokens” simply by inviting friends to play. Unfortunately, even with 5 tokens to start … [Read More…]
My Experience with Kimpton’s Inner Circle and Why I’m Pursuing It
Going For the Status Match Earlier this year, Kimpton Hotels sparked my interest after I attended a travel event over at Kimpton’s Eventi Hotel in NYC. While the Kimpton portfolio itself is relatively small containing only a limited amount of properties the U.S., I’ve always heard great things about the brand in the past. I … [Read More…]
Up to 14% Back in HotelTonight Credits Until the End of April
There are two travel apps that I’m currently obssessed with at the moment. The first one is Uber, an on-demand taxi/car service app (related post for those who are unfamiliar), and the 2nd one is HotelTonight.
