I love, love, love AmEx Sync promotions. I’m so happy that several new ones were released for this summer (see below for some of my favorites).

Cheap Fare Alert: ~$400 from New York, Miami, or Los Angeles to Iguazu Falls
I just booked myself a nice Veteran’s Day weekend trip to Iguazu Falls for November due to an irresistible low fare! I do not expect this deal to last very long, and as of now it still is live. This will be my third time traveling to South America for under $500. Last year, I … [Read More…]

Daily Getaways: All 5 Weeks Announced – Here’s What Excites Me…
Every year, American Express teams up the U.S. Travel Association and offers a daily travel-related deal during the Daily Getaways promotion. In the past, my family and I had a lot of fun with these promotions (related post), but with frequent program devaluations, these deals have become less and less exciting.

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…]
Hotel Steals: $85 off a Hotel Booking with TravelPony
Yesterday, fellow BoardingArea blogger, Kendra (Points and Pixie Dust), wrote a post raving about her experiences using a new hotel site called TravelPony. Since I don’t have an immediate need to book a hotel room at the moment, I didn’t really put much thought into giving the site a thorough look. That all changed when … [Read More…]

Mr. Points Traveler and I arrived in San Diego yesterday to kick off our extended weekend in SoCal to experience some of the new Kimpton hotels.

JetBlue True Blue Points No Longer Expire
