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…]
Sometimes it’s Worth it to Use Avios Instead of AAdvantage Miles
Once in a while my brother will reach out and run an award redemption by me. When I received a text from him saying that he was about to spend 12,500 AA miles + a $75 close-in fee for a last-minute domestic redemption from Columbia, SC to Cincinnati, I immediately told him to hold off. … [Read More…]
How to Get Hyatt Diamond Status Until February 2016
I’ve written about Hyatt Diamond status, the highest level of the Hyatt GoldPassport loyalty program, plenty of times, and it’s no secret that having top-tier status allows you to have a better traveling experience overall.

My Spontaneous Trip to the House of Miles

My Retention Bonus Results… Blah
Last February, I applied for several new points and miles cards. I can’t believe how fast a year can zoom by – before I knew it, I realized all of the annual fees have posted. Of course, I immediately got on the phone to see if the fee could be waived or if I would … [Read More…]
Getting Caught Doing Naughty Things by a Loyalty Program
I’ve said it many times before – I “wear the points” in my family. What I mean by that is I take much joy in managing Mr. Points Traveler and my own loyalty account balances. I will soon have to add a 3rd collection of loyalty programs to the roster now that Baby Points Traveler has … [Read More…]
