Sub-$100 Flights NY-Miami and a Free $100 Hotel Room. Best of The Rest For September 19, 2015

The Best of the Rest is my effort to summarize all the travel/miles & points stories that interested me on a daily basis but didn’t have time to write about in length.  On a daily basis, I try to keep track of roughly 100 different blogs (try being the operative word) that have interesting things for you and I to learn from.  Some are passed along without comment, while I add my analysis to others.   This is your shortcut to find out what’s going on in the travel world without having to read dozens of travel blogs to get all the best info.

Here’s what I’m reading about today:

Cheap Flight(s) of The Day: NYC-Miami, $96 round-trip!

Chase and United renew their credit card marriage.  The reason this is relevant is that it almost certainly means Chase Ultimate Rewards will remain a transfer partner of United Airlines.  Even with their devaluations, United is still a solid transfer partner for folks holding Sapphire and Ink credit cards.

The internet was slow.  You know, no porn……

Essentially, a $100 hotel room for free.

Air Canada is honoring those $150 fares to Paris.  Did you get one?

15% off pretty much everything on eBay, including some gift cards.

Have you forgotten the simple wonders of travel?  For me, it’s seeing something I’ve already seen, except through my eyes of my children.  Then, it’s something entirely new again.  For me, that’s the joy of travel.
