Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone, TGI Friday!  I have 2 hotel offers/deals to share with you this morning.  The first is *another* Hyatt timeshare presentation and the second is a Hilton bonus spend offer.  I must get at least 1 timeshare presentation email or letter from Hyatt every month.  This month I received an offer to stay at the Hyatt Pinon Pointe Residence Club Resort in Sedona, Arizona.  4 days / 3 nights in a 1 bedroom suite + 10,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points for $198 + 90 minute timeshare presentation.  If you are interested, you can probably call and book directly at 1-844-821-2582.  Book by August 5, 2016, and stay by December 31, 2016.

Yosemite National Park & Halfdome Weekend Trip (FlexPerks Award + 2 Hilton Award Nights)

Posted on by . 10 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  I am off to Yosemite National Park this weekend with my brother and I wanted to share my trip planning with you.  First of all, Fresno is the closest major airport to Yosemite and flights to Fresno can be pricey since it is a relatively small airport.  I booked my United flight for SFO-FAT back in February and the cheapest price I could find was ~$370.  Luckily, I cashed in 20,000 US Bank FlexPoints for the trip.  I plan on purchasing some inflight food and drinks to take advantage of the $25 inflight travel credit that comes with all award bookings made with the US Bank FlexPerks Credit Card.

New AMEX Offers: KLM $200 Off $1,000, Hilton Garden Inn $40 Off $200, a Few Others

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Good morning everyone.  It’s been a while since I last reported on AMEX Offers.  The offers have just been so bad for the last few weeks that it wasn’t even worth mentioning.  The streak has been broken with 2 pretty good travel offers.  The first is from KLM, where you can get a $200 statement credit for spending $1,000 or more on KLM flights.  The only cash back portal that has KLM is Ebates (they are offering 1% cash back for KLM flights).  The second offer is from Hilton Garden Inn, where you can get a $40 statement credit after spending $200 or more.  iConsumer is offering 3.2% cash back for Hilton Garden Inn.  This offer is not valid at any other Hilton properties and the total stay charge must be higher than $200 to trigger the statement credit.

Hotel Review: Hilton Molino Stucky Venice (Diamond Status & Lounge Access)

Posted on by . 14 Replies

Good evening from Dublin (and my last night in Europe).  Here is a hotel review for my second to last hotel in Europe… the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice.  Before I show you pictures of the hotel room and canals of Venice, I will show you how to get from the airport to the hotel.  First things first, all the info I used was found here.  You need to take the ATVO airport bus to the “water bus terminal” (P.le Roma).  The airport bus costs €8 one way or €15 round trip per person.

Here are driving directions, but the bus takes the same route.  The trip takes around 25 minutes and the ATVO bus leaves the airport and “water bus terminal” pretty frequently.
