Good morning everyone, happy Friday! I am heading to Portland, Oregon tonight for a short weekend trip. I wanted to go over Memorial Day Weekend, but I thought about the trip too late and the prices were too high and the award availability was not available. Therefore, I am going this weekend. I like to plan 2 holidays in advance, so right now, I recommend people start making plans for Labor Day Weekend in early September. People are only thinking about Memorial Day Weekend and Fourth of July Weekend, so now is the time to start planning your Labor Day Weekend trip.
Anyway, a few months ago, I wrote about a Bad use of Alaska Airlines $99 Companion Ticket & Codeshare American Airlines / Alaska Airlines Booking with Citi Thank You Points. In that post, I showed how I booked an Alaska Airlines flight, that was a codeshare with American Airlines, with my Citi Thank You Points for 1.6 cents per point toward the paid ticket. 15,012 Citi Thank You Points is worth $240.19, which is a pretty good price for 2 one way tickets from SFO to PDX.
