Would you be open to the idea of “making your trip pay for itself” if you could carry an item or package on board with you when you travel and then deliver it to someone in your destination? I recently stumbled across an interesting Facebook ad for AirWayBill, which is a service that connects shippers … [Read More…]

It’s no secret that I love the ease and convenience of Uber and have been using the app for years. What I like most about Uber is that it’s a cashless service. I love the convenience of getting in and out of the car and not having to deal with digging for my wallet at the … [Read More…]

As winter storm Stella pounds the northeast, most people are staying in watching TV, and I could only imagine what the adult-entertainment traffic surges are like. If you’re desperately in the mood to get it together and leave the house in New Jersey or Boston, Pornhub has you covered. Today the “YouTube of porn” is plowing on-demand … [Read More…]

In my opinion, the Hilton HHonors program has a very unclear late check out policy for their top-tier Diamond elite members. Hidden in the official “terms” as per the Hilton website is this: Late check-out must be requested and is subject to availability.

The stories on Daily Mail never cease to amaze me, but today’s headline left me feeling like this: According to a Daily Mail article published today, guests at a non-chain hotel (thank goodness because no amount of points can make this right), Hotel El Senador, in Mexico City were oblivious to the fact that there was … [Read More…]

I’ve seen a fair share of silly miles and points related things up for sale on eBay… including, but not limited to airline upgrades labeled as “travel advice” and status matches. Speaking of, at one point there was even “Platinum Status for $100“, showing a MileagePlus card with Mommy Point’s full name on it! …By the way, all … [Read More…]

Traveling for extended-periods of time is truly rewarding; however, it can cost a lot of money when you’re responsible for rent or a mortgage payment along with many other bills on top of it all. It can honestly be cheaper to live in a hotel (and earn points) in some cities than to have a place … [Read More…]

I’m headed to Bucharest soon, and I needed to book a flight there from Istanbul. Luckily, there was this great nonstop option that just so happened to fit perfectly within my plans on a Skyteam carrier I have never even heard of – Tarom.
