Good morning everyone, just a quick update on my travel plans over the next few months. Even though the FTU Advanced Dallas just ended last weekend, I will return to Dallas for the next FTU Advanced Dallas event on September 25-27. Tickets are $249 and the Hyatt Regency has a $99/night group rate. The hotel is within walking distance of DFW Airport. If you are skeptical of attending by yourself, read this post: Why you Should go to Travel Conferences by Yourself #Rant.
Good evening everyone, I have some interesting pieces of information to share about the Citi Prestige Credit Card. A few weeks ago, I wrote Citi Prestige: 50,000 ThankYou Points Online or 60,000 TYP In-Branch Offer? where I compared the current online offer (50,000 Citi ThankYou Points after spending $3,000 in 3 months, with a $450 annual fee) with the current in-branch offer (30,000 Citi ThankYou Points after spending $3,000 in 3 months, another 30,000 Citi ThankYou Points after spending another $12,000/12 months, with a $350 annual fee). A week later, I wrote My Citi Prestige In-Branch Application Experience with PDF Paperwork and Brochure where I shared information on the in-branch application process and over-the-phone reconsideration call.
Good morning everyone, last Saturday, I went to my local Citibank Branch to apply in person for the Citi Prestige Credit Card. By applying in-branch, you receive a different (better?) version of the Citi Prestige with a larger sign up bonus and a lower annual fee. Read this post to learn more about the difference: Citi Prestige: 50,000 ThankYou Points Online or 60,000 TYP In-Branch Offer? Without further ado here is my experience…
(Hat Tip to Paul for finding this CN Traveler article)
Good morning everyone, I just learned about a new search engine for finding cheap flights. But there is a catch… you usually end up with a long really long layover/stopover at 1 or more airports. According to the article: “Launched last month by students at Harvard Business School, the new site searches routes to and from the world’s 500 largest airports—in Europe and beyond—to ‘combine two round trip tickets from non-partner airlines to find the cheapest fares.’ ” Some people might see layovers/stopovers as a waste of time, while others see it as an added bonus where they can explore the city for a few hours/days. Without further ado, let me show you how CleverLayover works…
Enter your round trip flight details into the search box. As of right now, you can only search for round trip flights, no one ways or multi-city searches.
Good morning everyone, I learned from Doctor of Credit that the Citi Prestige® Card online offer increased the sign up bonus from 30,000 Citi ThankYou Points (TYPs) to 50,000 Citi TYPs. I was planning on applying for the 60,000 Citi TYP offer in a Citi Branch, but then I started to have second thoughts. Which offer was better?
The current best online offer for the Citi Prestige® Card offers 50,000 Citi TYPs after spending $3,000 in 3 months and paying the $450 annual fee. All the other benefits are the same as the in-branch offer, so look for all the benefits at the bottom of this post.
