I don’t cover the Delta SkyMiles program very much, mostly because they don’t have much to offer to me. My home airport, Washington Dulles (IAD) is not an airport with much service from them. And, frankly, their mileage program is pretty bad. Today, they…
If you live in the DC area, you might have heard of the ICE! show at the National Convention Center. They’ve been doing it for at least a few years now, and I understand they do one at the Gaylord Opryland (that one probably…
This is literally right out of the US Airways playbook. I actually wrote about it a while ago. But, I certainly like American Airlines’ offering more than US Airways. They brought a fruit basket around first, which was my first indication that something was…
American Airlines has another bonus offer out for their shopping portal. Similar to last year, American already had an offer for miles that expired. So, I really wasn’t expecting another offer, especially since this year’s offer was much better than last year. When the…
Milepoint has been selling Premium Membership for a couple months now. I was pretty excited when we were able to put the package together. I’ll admit to being biased as a co-founder of Milepoint. But, it’s a pretty cool package, with United miles, Hilton…

I really like Samuel Jackson. He’s funny and engaging and I’ve enjoyed a bunch of his movies (The Negotiator and SWAT were two of my favorites). And, while he’s entertaining in Capital One’s newest commercial for their Quicksilver card, he’s wrong. I had the…
In recognition of Hyatt’s partnership with MGM resorts, I’ll be trying to review all 12 MGM properties that are now part of the partnership with Hyatt. The 12 properties are: MGM Grand (Review) THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Signature at MGM Grand Excalibur Luxor Monte Carlo…
US Airways has an offer out today for up to triple bonus miles on purchases via their shopping portal. I can’t say for certain, but this appears to be in lieu of a holiday shopping offer for total purchases on their portal. It’s still…
Pretty straightforward. US Airways has offered this earlier this year. Essentially, you can transfer up to 50,000 miles from your account to someone else’s and receive a 100% bonus for doing so (meaning you earn 50,000 miles). The cost to transfer those miles is…
