I earn affiliate credit if you sign up for the Bilt Rewards Mastercard using links in this story. Double points? On all spending? Sign me up! There’s also 50% off on cruises and free SoulCycle classes. Bilt Rewards, the program that lets you earn points for paying your rent, is also turbo-charging their credit card. I’m a big fan of what Bilt Rewards has been building, and this latest double points offering is another example of them making their credit card a valuable one to have in your wallet. Hyatt […]

Review: Hyatt Regency JFK At Resorts World

Our trip to Hawaii continues. I wrote a quick post about what to expect from our trip as we got under way. I’ve summarized the expected stories below in bullet point in case you have questions before I have time to write all the stories. And, if you want to see short live video posts daily of our trip, you can find those in my private Slack community (sort of my version of Patreon). You can find links to that here and here. We have a lot of fun in […]

It’s Not Just A Hotel

Hey, there. Thanks for stopping by. If you don’t follow me on Instagram or were hoping for some actual hotel content, you may want to sit this one out. If you want to hear me talk about one of the greatest experiences our family has ever had…..well, grab a seat. Might be worth grabbing a snack and a drink. I’ve been known to get a bit……wordy. It’s just a hotel. It’s only for Star Wars fans. Why would anyone pay that much to dress up in costumes? Those are the […]

DEAL (Increased to 5 Cards): Up To 14% Discount Again On Southwest Gift Cards (today and tomorrow Only)

Big thanks to Sean from my Slack community for bringing this one to my attention. This offer could be a great way to leverage the current shortcut promotion to Southwest’s Companion Pass. Costco is offering a slightly lower discount on Southwest gift cards than they offered a couple of months ago, except this time you can purchase up to 5 gift cards! The banner is back on the top of the Costco website showing that $500 gift cards are discounted. The total for five $500 gift cards after discount is […]

I Flew Frontier, Saved $400 And Didn’t Die. My Frontier Airlines Review

Those low-cost carriers always have very appetizing fare sales. Who wouldn’t want to pay $20 to fly somewhere? But, what does $20 really buy you? I found out exactly what Frontier does (and doesn’t) offer customers on my first flight with them recently.

How To Use New Metro Silver Line To Get Between Dulles and Reagan National Airports

People talk about how bad the traffic is in places like Los Angeles with plenty of adjectives. And, it is quite bad. But, the traffic in DC is what I refer to as “stealthy bad”. It doesn’t get the same press that LA traffic does, but a trip that normally takes an hour can easily turn into a 3-hour ordeal. With visiting dignitaries, protests and construction as variables, weather can also wreak havoc on a system that consistently backs up during rush hour. For those of us that live in […]

Update: American Airlines Variable Choice Plus Pricing A Feature, Not A Bug

I have to admit, I was pretty pleased with the original announcement that American Airlines was creating bundled pricing that included change fees at a lower apparent cost. Things got a little better when American also announced they were expanding the timeframe you could request a same day change to your flight. And, then things started to get a bit screwy. It started with just one flight I couldn’t get to price right with Choice Plus as an add-on. But, then I did a bit more digging and found out […]

A Summary Of United Airlines Global Services Benefits

As travel has gotten more stressful the benefits of elite status are even more valuable. In some cases, what used to be free for everyone is now only free for those customers that fly most frequently. I value my American Airlines Executive Platinum status more highly than any status I’ve earned, including 1K service with United Airlines. However, Global Services is another matter. For those not aware, Global Services is an invitation-only status level that United bestows on their best customers. What defines a best customer? Well, United doesn’t list […]
