Quick & Easy Status Match to Sonesta Travel Pass Platinum Status

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend.  A few days ago, I was reading Frequent Miler’s post Complete Guide to Sonesta Travel Pass and read in the comments by McGeoffroy that Sonesta was offering a status match to their top tier Sonesta Platinum Status.  McGeoffroy was able to match Hyatt Globalist Status to Sonesta Platinum Status.  I don’t have Hyatt Globalist Status, so I was curious what other hotel program and elite tiers Sonesta would match.  Here is what I learned about the status match process.

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 4 offers that end this 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 the 4 offers that end soon.

Up first, Air France / KLM is offering up to a 70% bonus, depending on the number of Air France / KLM Flying Blue Miles you purchase. This offer expires on June 16.

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  Do you remember the MoviePass saga from a few years ago?  I was a huge fan of MoviePass (and also Sinemia) because it allowed me to watch 1-2 movies a week while my wife was in grad school.  I knew it was too good to last ($9.95 / month for any movie at any theater on any day), but I enjoyed the journey while it lasted.  If you think you know the whole MoviePass story, check out the new “MoviePass, MovieCrash” documentary on HBO Max.  Here is the trailer, in case you are interested.
