Back in 2013 , I wrote a blog post about how I would choose my next travel destination using “The Big Mac Index“. For those unfamiliar, The Big Mac Index is an interactive map used to measure the purchasing power between two currencies by evaluating the prices of McDonald’s famous Big Mac sandwich in its … [Read More…]
Awesome Round Trip Intra-Asia Discount Awards For 5,000 JAL Miles
Last week, Dad wrote a post that shared the details of how he used points and miles for a first-class trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Within that post, he mentioned a little-known “sweet-spot” redemption instead of paying for a round-trip flight between Bangkok and Siem Reap that usually costs $250-$350. Since the post was published, … [Read More…]

There was a hard announcement to swallow this morning when we learned that the bonus award night benefit with the Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature® Card was going to disappear after June 1, 2015. This news quickly created a mass panic among the blog-o-sphere for valid reasons. Not only did I confirm these changes were in … [Read More…]

Finally a Mattress Run Worth Doing
With so many changes to airline loyalty programs, I’ve already given up mileage runs. It’s also been a long time since I did a true mattress run, since hotel promos have been less and less enticing recently.
