I Product Changed to US Bank Altitude Connect Credit Card for 4 Free Priority Pass Restaurant Visits & Other Free Benefits

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  Last weekend, I flew Avelo Air from Santa Rosa, CA (STS) to Boise, ID (BOI) to visit my parents.  The weather was perfect and I enjoyed going to a real pumpkin patch and getting lost in a huge corn maze.  2 weeks ago, Doctor of Credit wrote about Major Changes To U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Card, mainly that the credit card removed the $95 annual fee and now has a $0 annual fee.  Looking at the Altitude Connect credit card homepage, doesn’t look that exciting, but it has several great benefits on a $0 annual fee card…

Sortable Table of Eligible Properties for $200 Semi Annual Hilton Resort Credit

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  Yesterday, American Express and Hilton updated their list of properties that are eligible for the $200 semi annual Hilton resort credit on the American Express Hilton Honors Aspire Credit Card.  The current list (found here) contains 256 properties (as of 9/24/24), but they are grouped by Brand Name, not sorted alphabetically by property name or country.  This makes it difficult to find a property or see which properties are available in certain cities or countries around the world.  I decided to take a crack at the list and add the city and country for each property and make the list sortable and searchable.

For some international properties, I was not sure which part of the property address was the city vs province / state / territory, so I need your help.  Please review the list and let me know if the city listed next to a specific property is incorrect and I will update the table.

Recent Timeshare Vacation Package Offers: Hyatt Lake Tahoe Northstar Lodge for $349, Sheraton Kauai Resort Villas for $699 & Hilton 3 Night Stay for $149

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I received a few timeshare vacation package offers lately and I wanted to share them with readers in case you are looking for a discounted vacation to any of these timeshare locations.  Even if you are not targeted for the offer, you might be able to call the phone numbers listed below and see if you are eligible.  As a reminder, you will need to attend a 2 hour timeshare presentation during your stay, but it is easy enough to sit through the presentation, learn a few things, say no a few times, and go back to enjoying your vacation.

The first offer I received was for the Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge (north side of Lake Tahoe in Truckee, CA).  This offer is $349 for 3 nights at the Northstar Lodge plus your choice of a $100 Visa Gift Card or 7,500 Hyatt Points (go with the points).
