Good morning everyone, happy Wednesday. I just got an email from eGifter about a great deal. You can buy $100 Lowe’s egift cards on sale for $90. These will probably sell out fast, so buy some if you are interested. You can also use BeFrugal to earn 1% cash back from eGifter.com. If you are not a BeFrugal member, sign up free today and get a $10 bonus.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day.
Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! If you are in Denver tomorrow (Sunday, June 4), you are in luck. I will be in Denver this weekend to attend a Front Range Travel Hackers Meetup. There will be a few other Boarding Area bloggers in attendance too. The meetup is free to attend, just show up on time and be ready to talk miles and points.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great weekend everyone!
Good evening everyone, happy Friday! If you are in the Denver area on Sunday, June 4, you are in luck. I will be heading to Denver that weekend and spending some time with a few of my fellow Boarding Area bloggers. My friends Nigel and Bill run the Front Range Travel Hackers Meetup Group and they have organized a great meetup for that Sunday afternoon. There will be a few Boarding Area bloggers in attendance and maybe a few last minute additions as well. The meetup is free to attend, but please join the Meetup group and RSVP to the event so they know how many people to expect at the restaurant.
I will post a reminder post a day before the Meetup. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
Buenos dias everyone. A few months ago, I wrote about VirtualPostMail, the service I use to receive, scan, and forward my physical mail. I typically have them collect items for me over the course of a few weeks, and then I select the items I want to keep and have them shipped to wherever I’m going next. Since I was heading to Washington, DC for work last week, I asked VPM to mail a package to my post office box in Washington, DC a few days before I was going to arrive. This package included several important items:
Will I ever see these envelopes?
I started this post while I was in Dublin on a ten day trip around Europe, but I never found the time to finish it. Probably due to the fact that I was walking 7-10 miles a day checking out the sites! I primarily used miles/points to book the majority of the travel and lodging, which is detailed below.
My first flight was from DEN (Denver) – HOU (William P. Hobby/Houston) on SW (Southwest) as a positioning flight, which I paid 7.6k miles for, and $5.60. The retail price was $127, so I averaged 1.6 Cents Per Point (CPP), which is pretty average for SW. I Uber’d to IAH (George Bush Intercontinental/Houston) for around $40.
