FTU Advanced Orange County (October 28-30) and Seattle (February 24-26)

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  We are only 1 week away from FTU Advanced in Orange County (October 28-30).  FTU stands for Frequent Traveler University and is a travel conference with your favorite travel bloggers from Boarding Area and beyond.  I will be attending the conference, but I am not presenting.  I am flying down from SFO on Friday night after work, so I won’t be able to attend the Friday night happy hour (someone, please drink for me).  I am staying at home, not at the host hotel (The Westin South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa), but I will be at the conference all day Saturday and Sunday.  I will be wearing my classic Travel with Grant shirt (much to the chagrin of Devil’s Advocate).  If you see me, don’t be afraid to say hello :)

New AMEX Offer: Home Depot $15 Off $75

Posted on by . 8 Replies

UPDATE: I updated the blog post to distinguish between the 2 AMEX Offers.  They cannot be stacked.  Thank you FreeTravelGuys for pointing that out in the comments.

Good morning everyone, greetings from Las Vegas.  I’m waiting for my scheduled Uber pickup (blog post coming), but in the meantime, I saw some chatter on Twitter about a new AMEX Offer for Home Depot: spend $75 and get a $15 statement credit.  I got the offer on all 5 of my AMEX accounts.  This offer is only valid for in-store purchases.  Act fast since there might be a limited number of offers available.
