Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card Annual Fee Notification Oversight

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I just got an email from Citi regarding my Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card.  Apparently, on my last statement that closed a few days ago, Citi forgot to mention that the annual fee will be billed the following month.  I’m not sure if this is a regulation that credit card companies have to follow whereby they have to inform you 1 month prior to having the annual fee billed to your account or if that is just a courtesy most credit card companies follow.  Either way, if you had planned to cancel your Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card before the annual fee posts to you account, you can call the number listed below.  If you call, your credit card will be canceled.

New AMEX Offers: ShopRite (Stackable), Hampton by Hilton, Instacart & More

Posted on by . 20 Replies

Good morning everyone.  American Express released a few more AMEX Offers since Monday (19 New AMEX Offers: Amazon, Uber, Toys R Us / Babies R Us & More).  The most interesting offer is for ShopRite: $20 off $75.  That is pretty good on its own, but Frequent Miler reported that you can get $20 in Free Groceries with a $100 Gift Card Purchase at ShopRite.  If you use your enrolled AMEX credit card to buy $100 in gift cards at ShopRite, you will get a $20 statement credit and $20 in free groceries.  40% off is not too shabby, right?

The other good offer is for Hampton by Hilton: $35 off $175.  You might be able to purchase a gift card from Hampton for use at other Hilton hotels.

Las Vegas to Zion National Park Roadtrip and Chain Hotel Options

Posted on by . 9 Replies

Good morning everyone.  Last month, my brother and I went to Zion National Park for Labor Day Weekend (September 4-7).  The trip was amazing and I definitely recommend everyone go to Zion National Park for a few days if you are ever in Southwest Utah.  A few weeks ago, Frequent Miler wrote a post about his recent trip through Zion National Park where he stayed at the Zion Lodge (log cabins) for ~$200/night.  I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience at the Holiday Inn Express Springdale / Zion National Park and show what other points hotel options were available at Zion National Park.

Getting to Zion National Park is tricky.  You can fly into St. George, Utah, but that is a very small/expensive airport.  I recommend flying into Las Vegas (easily accessible from every airport with many flights from many airlines) and then driving ~3 hours to Zion National Park (Google Map).  My brother and I landed in Vegas around 8:30pm and then made our way to the Las Vegas rental car lot and then toward Utah.  We arrived at the Holiday Inn Express hotel a little after 1am (1 hour time change from Arizona to Utah).

Uber to the Rescue after taking Wrong Airport Shuttle; TravelCon Las Vegas Details Announced

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I am writing to you from beautiful Embassy Suites San Francisco Airport South San Francisco, which is not to be confused with Embassy Suites San Francisco Airport Waterfront (which is located South of San Francisco Airport).  This here lies the problem, or rather, the problem that I ran into last night as I attempted to take the correct airport shuttle to the correct Embassy Suites hotel.  As you can probably guess, I got on the wrong airport shuttle.  Instead of taking the airport shuttle back to the airport, waiting for the correct airport shuttle to arrive, and then drive to the other Embassy Suites, I decided to request an UberX ride from one Embassy Suites to the other Embassy Suites.
