Good morning everyone, my IHG insider sent me news on an upcoming IHG promo. Between March 13-16, you can book all participating IHG hotels in Mexico and automatically receive a 30% discount on the nightly rate. This promo only applies to paid stays between March 13 and June 15. The landing page is a little barren at the moment, but presumable tomorrow there will be more information available.
Good evening everyone, I had an interesting day today. I took my cousin’s Australia Shepherd puppy for a walk this morning and grabbed the wrong set of keys. I was locked out of the apartment for a few hours and had a very interest afternoon with stops at the Apple Store (buying a Mophie portable battery), Panera Bread (their table-side ordering is amazing, btw), and Petco (lunch for the pup). Now that I am safely/warmly back inside, here are some random news to share.
There is an AMEX Offer for Ebags.com where you can get a $15 statement credit after making a purchase of $75 or more. I noticed that Ebags sells gift cards online, but there is nothing on Gift Card Granny regarding buy back rate.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Myself and approximately 200 other miles and points “collectors” gathered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego this past weekend. We had several speakers from Boarding Area (Greg @ Frequent Miler, Ben/Lucky @ One Mile at a Time, Gary @ View from the Wing, Scott @ Travel Codex, and Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai) along with Mathew @ Upgrd. The event began Friday night with a cocktail reception out on the lawn and it was my first chance to meet the other attendees. I must confess, I had appetizers in the Regency Club before the reception and went back afterwards for some dessert. The food in the Regency Club was very fresh and the desserts were delicious.
Good morning everyone, I had a great time at the OC TravelCon travel conference yesterday. It was a pleasure to meet some of you and to share my credit card retention offer presentation. I was very nervous and forgot some of my opening jokes:
Good afternoon everyone, I am speaking at the OC TravelCon travel conference this weekend (more info) and I needed to purchase a flight to Orange County (SNA). I was looking at the 7:05pm Southwest Airlines flight on Wednesday evening from SFO. The cheapest option (Wanna Get Away fare) was $212, while the Anytime fare was $223, and the Business Select fare was $251. Obviously the Wanna Get Away fare is the best deal, right?
