Good afternoon everyone. I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 4 offers that end in the next week. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are 4 offers that end soon. Up first, Choice Hotels is offering up to a 40% bonus, depending on the number of Choice Hotels Privileges Points you purchase. This offer expires tomorrow – April 29.
Good afternoon everyone. Last week, I was in New Orleans for the 31st annual Freddie Awards. During my visit, I went over to the Harrah’s New Orleans, Caesars casino property, to pick up my new Caesars Rewards Diamond card. Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of drama over Caesars Rewards Diamond matching from Wyndham Rewards Diamond. I have the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Credit Card which comes with Wyndham Rewards Diamond Elite Status and I was able to match to Caesars Rewards Diamond Elite Status pretty easily (without the upgrade, downgrade, and upgrade drama).
My favorite perk of Caesars Rewards Diamond Elite Status is the $100 dining credit you get each year. After having diamond status for the past 3-4 years, I was finally able to use the $100 dining credit for the first time. Unfortunately, when I went to the Caesars Rewards desk at Harrah’s New Orleans, the agent said I wasn’t eligible for the $100 dining credit since I did a status match. Hmm, I thought I was eligible, so I decided to do some more research. In this post, I will show you what I did to confirm my $100 dining credit and how I used my credit.
Updated at 7:20am PT on 4/27/22: Hawaii is very popular this year, so instead of booking the timeshare vacation package and picking your dates later, I would suggest locking in your dates when you book the package. Here is a recent horror story of the Sheraton Kauai on FlyerTalk.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. Last week, I wrote Stop Ignoring Vacasa Vacation Rentals! Get Awesome Condos for 13,500 Wyndham Rewards Points per Night. In that post, I shared my recently booked Vacasa Vacation Rentals in Hawaii. If you prefer hotels over condos, I have 2 great timeshare vacation packages available. The first is with Hilton Grand Vacations and is available to the public. The second is with Westin Vacation Club and looks targeted, but you can reach out to Westin Vacation Club to see if you are eligible. I have experience with timeshare presentations and have stayed at a few of these properties before. I will go through the booking process of each to show you what it is like, what is included, and how much it costs.
Let’s get started with the Hilton Grand Vacations offer. Here is the link to the landing page with the various properties.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I hope you have exciting Easter, Passover, and Ramadan plans this weekend. A few weeks ago, the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card and Chase IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card started offering cardholders $50 United Airlines TravelBank Credit each calendar year. The TravelBank Credit is split into two $25 credits that appear in your United Airlines account twice a year. I recently booked a United Airlines flight and was excited to use one of the $25 credits to save a few bucks, but it didn’t quite work out for me. Long story short, you need to register for the benefit first and then wait up to 2 weeks for the first $25 credit to post to your United Airlines account. Don’t make the same mistake as me and wait until you are ready to book your next United Airlines flight to sign up for the credit.
To get started, go to the IHG / United registration page and click the Sign In button. As you can see, it says “it may take up to 2 weeks for your registration to take effect.”
