Dedicated FT member wharvey has been organizing this FlyerTalk tradition for over a decade, and it’s honestly something I look forward to participating in every year. How the FlyerTalk “Secret Santa†works is that you … [Read More…]
I Flooded the Bathroom…
This post is dedicated to Greg, who writes Frequent Miler. Yesterday, he challenged me to take the ice bucket challenge. I’m having a hard time adjusting to Asia time as it is, so soaking myself with freezing-cold ice water during the wee-hours of the night seemed like the appropriate thing to do. I’ve donated $100 … [Read More…]
Miami and Back For a Hair Appointment
I love point and miles because of the ability to have fun with them on a whim. I have done tons of crazy things thanks to points and miles in the past (booked a cruise, traded my car for points, helped my friend leave the country, went to Tokyo for the first time with less … [Read More…]
It’s Perks Like This That Keep Me Loyal
With so many innovative ways to win customers over, brands are constantly thinking of creative ways to show their appreciation. I’ve outlined some of my favorite hotel/airline-social media moments in this previous post.

Dunkin’ Donuts Made Me Book a Flight
I was in Seattle last weekend for the First2Board Seattle Sessions, and I had a blast meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones.

There’s Hope – Complimentary Gate Upgrades DO Still Exist
Just thought this post would serve as a reminder that good stories do still exist – and how it simply never hurts to ask. I am currently sitting in 6F on my flight from SEA-PHX; I cashed in and used some of my 500-mile upgrades, and I was ecstatic when the “You Have Been Upgraded” … [Read More…]
Dad Post: Challenges of Booking a Family Trip to Puglia, Italy
I sent this post to Angelina in April, and she kept “losing” it in her email, kinda like how her “phone dies” when I call her, lol. Finally, I get a call from her this weekend while she’s at the Seattle session. Turns out that her blogger friend Dia, The Deal Mommy, is en route to Puglia … [Read More…]
It Was Just An Innocent “Check In”
Mr. Points Traveler and I survived the first year of marriage, and to celebrate we decided to spend a night together in NYC. We started off by seeing Cinderella on Broadway, followed by a delicious Cuban dinner and sangria before heading back to our Times Square hotel. Before heading to bed, I peeked out the … [Read More…]
“I Won a Vacation Package”
Those were the words my mom spoke to me last night when she told me how her July 4th weekend was. My parents went down to the good ‘ole Jersey Shore for a seafood festival, and they entered a “giveaway” at one of the booths. We’ve all done that, right? Well what a surprise, she’s … [Read More…]
