March 29, 2016 by Angelina Aucello 9 Comments

I just came across this offer from Hilton: Apparently it’s being advertised in the image that Hilton will match status with another program valid all the way up until March, 31 2018 (Starwood Preferred Guest, Marriott Rewards, IHG Rewards Club, Hyatt Gold Passport, Choice Privileges, or other hotel loyalty program). I recently matched to Hilton Diamond … [Read More…]

I just got back from an amazing trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. On the way there, I flew in Etihad’s A380 Pearl Business Class from New York to Abu Dhabi, and flew in the First Class Apartments on the same aircraft on the way back. Both flights were phenomenal, and I’m excited to share my review … [Read More…]

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of spending three nights at one of my favorite Hyatt properties of all time – The Andaz Papagayo in Costa Rica. I stayed here previously in December 2014 as a family with my then-10-month old son. I had a blast with my family, but since we were traveling with … [Read More…]

I have 2 Etihad A380 rides coming up this week, and I’m giddy like a kid in the candy shop. One of these awards was booked months ahead of time, and the other – yesterday. On Sunday, I am headed to Abu Dhabi in Etihad’s pearl business class from New York with my dad for … [Read More…]

Experiencing Amtrak’s Cardinal Business Class for a Weekend at The Greenbrier Resort

March 15, 2016 by Angelina Aucello 9 Comments

a train on the tracks

As someone who is up in the air quite a bit each year, it’s easy to forget about other comfortable ways to travel. I’ve traveled extensively throughout Europe via rail in the past, and it’s always been enjoyable and stunningly-scenic. Traveling by train is a highly-underrated experience… especially in the United States. In the U.S., I’ve only … [Read More…]

Two weeks ago, I blogged about big changes to the Chase Freedom card as we know it with the introduction of a new Chase Freedom product, the Chase Freedom Unlimited. The new Chase Freedom Unlimited will earn 1.5% cash back on every purchase, but there will be no 5x rotating categories that the existing Freedom card has … [Read More…]

I’m going to a wedding tomorrow in Auburn, Alabama, and I’m flying into Atlanta & doing the rental car thing to make the drive. I’ll be the first to admit that I have no loyalty to car rental programs – it’s all about getting the best deal for me. Using AutoSlash, I was able to get … [Read More…]

Baggallini Makes “Pretty Luggage” + Giveaway

March 11, 2016 by Angelina Aucello 84 Comments

a collage of different items

As someone who appreciates dressing up to go to the airport, I started to realize that most “practical gear†tended to be a bit bland from a style perspective. Sure, I have a ton of cute & stylish over-sized tote bags, but it’s never fun throwing everything into one compartment only to spend forever finding … [Read More…]

The New JetBlue Credit Cards Have Arrived & I’m Definitely Getting One

March 10, 2016 by Angelina Aucello 32 Comments

People think I am crazy for having a collection of hotel and airline co-branded credit cards, but let’s face it – with so many program changes over the years, it’s becoming increasingly-difficult to earn elite status simply by flying. In my case, it was a pretty painful blow going from United 1K to Mileageplus “member†… [Read More…]

Don’t Forget About How Easy it is to Earn Free Points with JetBlue Badges

March 2, 2016 by Angelina Aucello 2 Comments

Sometimes we forget about the little ways to earn points that don’t involve actually flying. I logged into my JetBlue account yesterday because I am flying JetBlue this weekend, and I was reminded of the JetBlue Badges incentive. JetBlue Badges allow you to earn extra points by completing some tasks and milestones in addition to the … [Read More…]
