Wait, What? American Express Deposited 100,000 Points Into My Marriott Account

Color me shocked. Baffled, surprised. Use your own words. American Express came out of left field with an early Christmas present for me.

DEAL: Best Prices I’ve Seen On My Favorite Portable Movie Theater!

I was at a school party for my son this morning and decided to hop on Amazon to research pricing for a microscope he was having a ton of fun with. Right on the front page was an ad for my favorite travel projector at the lowest price I’ve seen, the Anker Nebula Capsule! This is one of those tech products I never thought I’d really have a use for. When I first saw it, I thought it was cute. Then, I tested one at a show and wow! Now, […]

Act Quickly! Save On Universal Hollywood Express Tickets

Today’s Daily Getaways deal is bound to go fast. The offer is for Universal Studios Hollywood Express Tickets. The offer is for a 1-day Express Ticket for $149. Most importantly, this deal is for Universal Hollywood. These tickets are not valid at Universal Studios Orlando. This is a pretty solid deal for folks heading to Universal Hollywood. Prices vary by day when you buy from Universal directly, but you can save at least $30 per ticket and over $100 on certain days when tickets are most expensive. And, it’s on those most […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Is Foursquare Dead?

Venture Beat doesn’t think so, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong. But, before I discuss the article, a little background on why someone allergic to social media like me became a Foursquare nut. A few years ago, a company called TopGuest came up with this concept where you could earn airline miles and hotel points for checking in at various places on Foursquare. I can’t say I thought it was a terribly good business model, but they convinced a bunch of hotel chains to hand out miles for this. […]
