Recent Timeshare Vacation Package Offers: Hyatt Lake Tahoe Northstar Lodge for $349, Sheraton Kauai Resort Villas for $699 & Hilton 3 Night Stay for $149

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I received a few timeshare vacation package offers lately and I wanted to share them with readers in case you are looking for a discounted vacation to any of these timeshare locations.  Even if you are not targeted for the offer, you might be able to call the phone numbers listed below and see if you are eligible.  As a reminder, you will need to attend a 2 hour timeshare presentation during your stay, but it is easy enough to sit through the presentation, learn a few things, say no a few times, and go back to enjoying your vacation.

The first offer I received was for the Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge (north side of Lake Tahoe in Truckee, CA).  This offer is $349 for 3 nights at the Northstar Lodge plus your choice of a $100 Visa Gift Card or 7,500 Hyatt Points (go with the points).

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 7 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 7 offers that end soon.

Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase.  This offer expires today – September 20.

Midyear Review: My 2024 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  I recently watched a Frequent Miler On The Air Podcast episode on YouTube where Greg and Nick reviewed their 2024 predictions, so I figured it would be fun to review My Overly Ambitious 2024 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions.  The original predictions are in black, correct predictions are in green, and incorrect predictions are in red.  Without further ado, here are my predictions for 2024:

My 2024 Airline Predictions

  • Alaska Airlines or Southwest Airlines will introduce a “family pooling” benefit for miles or travel credit. – Nope, but Southwest Airlines Wanna Get Away Plus fares do offer Transferable Flight Credit that can be used for other Rapid Rewards members.
  • American Airlines will allow Web Special awards to be changed online (currently, they can only be cancelled). – Nope, not yet, but I haven’t booked any AA Web Special awards recently.
  • British Airways will add another airline (besides Finnair) to the Avios family. – Nope, not yet, Qatar and Finnair were the most recent additions.
  • Delta will change their 15% SkyMiles discount for Delta credit cards holders. – Nope, not yet, I haven’t booked many Delta awards this year.
  • United will allow you to combine multiple travel bank funds and future flight credits for the same reservation. – Nope, not yet, I confirmed this a few days ago when I purchased a United Airlines flight.

Good morning everyone, I hope your holiday season is going well.  Yesterday, I wrote The Results Are In! My Wild & Crazy 2023 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions.  In that post, I shared how my 2023 predictions did (spoiler: not great).  But I am not deterred because 2024 is a new year and I have several new predictions that are surely to come true.  Without further ado, here are my predictions for 2024:
