I just want everyone to be aware of some facts if they book a hotel with a travel advisor or through a credit card travel portal like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, Citi Travel or Amex (booking a hotel that is not an Amex Fine Hotel). First, you will not earn points on the stay. […]

I Converted My Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles To Hilton Honors Points Because……
Right now, we are in the midst of Covid-19. I have read the “rumors” about the possibility of Virgin Atlantic shutting down.

A Five Minute Phone Call Led To 500 Citi ThankYou Points-Eh!

Are Home Stays Coded As Travel?
I have to admit, I have never booked a home stay, but they do intrigue me. I also think they are going to become a lot more popular as is evidenced by the fact that Marriott Bonvoy just got into the home stay game. The company announced Homes & Villas by Marriott International, that is […]
