New AMEX Offers: $75 Off $350 @ Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Other Random Offers Part 2

Posted on by . 31 Replies

Good morning everyone, yesterday I wrote New AMEX Offers: $20 Off $100 @ Macy’s and Other Random Offers.  This morning, I checked my AMEX account and found a new AMEX Offer for Hilton Hotels & Resorts: get a $75 statement credit when you spend $350 or more.  Looking at the small print, it looks like only Hilton Hotels and Hilton Resorts qualify for this offer, all the other Hilton chains are excluded (Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, etc.).

New AMEX Offers: $20 Off $100 @ Macy’s and Other Random Offers

Posted on by . 25 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I don’t know about you, but I love AMEX Offers.  I love them so much that I check my AMEX account probably 1-2 times per day for new offers.  The last few weeks have been pretty slow in terms of great MS AMEX Offers, but hopefully that changes soon.  I tried to find a few AMEX Offers worth sharing, but this Macy’s offer was the best I could find.  I only saw this offer on 1 out of 5 AMEX cards, so it might be highly targeted.  Get a $20 statement credit when you spend $100 or more at Macy’s or macys.com.

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great 4th of July with your friends and family.  This post is 2 months late, since Travel with Grant turned 2 on May 3, 2015.  Side note: what is the appropriate celebratory name: blog birthday or blog anniversary (blogiversary)?  I’m leaning toward blog birthday since I am not *legally* married to Travel with Grant (#blogloveisreal).  Either way, I wanted to celebrate 2 great years of blogging with a few giveaway items.

But before I get to the giveaway, I wanted to say a few thank yous first.  Thank you to my readers who have been with me from the beginning and who continue to read my blog on a daily basis.  Thank you to my friends on Twitter (bloggers and non-bloggers alike) who are incredibly supportive and immensely knowledgeable.  Thank you to the handful of readers who show up at my various meetups to share tips and tricks.  Thank you to my readers who support my site by shopping on Amazon and Ebay or by applying for a credit card (or 4) through my credit card affiliate links.  And last but not least, a very special thank you to Randy Petersen and the Boarding Area team for their technical and educational help over the last year.

Official SF Travel Hackers June Meetup + Chipotle Dinner on Tuesday Night at 7pm

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good evening everyone, sorry for the last minute notice, but I just got an email this afternoon from the SF Travel Hackers group on Meetup.com.  They are having a meetup tomorrow night (Tuesday night at 7pm) in San Francisco.  Since this location is only a few blocks from work, I will definitely be there.  If you live or work in San Francisco, try to join us tomorrow night.  I will not be speaking or presenting, but I will definitely share some of my tricks regarding award bookings on Alaska Airlines, British Airways, and United Airlines.  If the event says it is full, I would still recommend going since there are often last minute dropouts on the day of the event.  Hopefully I will see some of you there.
