SF Travel Hacker Meetup Group: November Meeting (11/30) & December Holiday Party (12/9)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a deal-filled Black Friday (don’t forget about Cyber Monday).  This is super last minute, but I wanted to let everyone in the Bay Area know that there is a SF Travel Hacker Meetup tomorrow night.  I will be there along with several other miles/points/MS/travel enthusiasts.

  • When: Monday, November 30 @ 7:00 PM
  • Where: Dev Bootcamp, 633 Folsom Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107 (Google Map)

If you get to SF early, a few of us will grab dinner/drinks at Soma Eats from 5-6:30pm.  Depending on Cyber Monday madness, I will try to be there by 5:30pm.

Audible: 3 Months for $8 on LivingSocial & Several Audiobooks for $4.95

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your Black Friday is going well so far.  I wish I had more time to read books, but unfortunately my busy life makes it difficult to find time to read.  Since I commute to work on BART everyday, I am a big fan of Podcasts and Audiobooks.  Right now, LivingSocial has a great deal on a 3 month subscription to Audible for $8 (which is actually 1 audiobook each month for 3 months).  That comes out to $2.67 per audiobook which is a great deal since most of their audiobooks are normally $9.99 or more.  Caution: after the 3 month subscription, you will be automatically enrolled in Audible’s standard monthly subscription price, so remember to cancel your subscription before you get billed the higher price.  Lastly, don’t forget to go through a Shopping Portal before going to LivingSocial (I recommend using Ebates).

Good afternoon everyone, I just got back from Safeway and saw this gift card promo going on.  From now through December 1, you can get a coupon for $15 off $25 after you purchase $125 of participating gift cards (Amazon and eBay gift cards included).  The terms of the offer say that the $15 off coupon must be redeemed within 7 days and cannot be used to purchase gift cards, so take that into consideration.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Good evening everyone.  After lots of planning and several emails between American Express and the Centurion Lounge managers, the day has finally arrived.  Here is my game plan for tomorrow’s 2 Centurion Lounge meetups:

SFO Centurion Lounge

I will arrive at SFO between 11:30am and 12pm.  If you get there before I do, please tell the front desk that you are here for the Travel with Grant meetup (I have a few tables reserved).  We can then grab lunch and drinks.  We can talk about miles, points, and travel for the next 2 hours.  The lounge manager will provide a behind-the-scenes tour of the lounge from 2:30-3pm.  I will then leave the lounge at 3pm and head to my Southwest Airlines flight to Las Vegas.   Continue reading →
