ExitFares Combines the Search Power of The Flight Deal, Airfare Watch Dog, and Other Airline Deal Websites

Posted on by . 10 Replies

(Hat Tip to Paul for the CN Traveler article)

Good morning everyone, I recently learned about a new travel website called ExitFares which aggregates all the best airline deal sites like The Flight Deal, Airfare Watch Dog, and many smaller sites.  After you create a free account, you can receive daily emails with only deals from your chosen cities.  I selected Los Angeles and San Francisco and received 9 flight deals on the first day.  If you are interested in checking in out, please create an ExitFares account.

Citi’s No Kid Hungry Campaign, Table Initiative, and Garden Initiative

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  I was checking my Citi online account when I stumbled onto a new program that Citi is participating in.  It is called the No Kid Hungry Campaign and it is a great program to combat childhood hunger.  The program is simple: enroll your Citi credit card(s), then use that Citi credit card at any restaurant, and Citi will donate $2 per transaction to the campaign, up to $500,000.  The program will run from now through July 31.  You will still earn your usual miles, points, or cash back, but you will also be helping children in need.  To enroll your Citi credit card, click here.

Good morning everyone, it’s been a while since I did a random news post, so I have accumulated quite a bit of random news.  So much news, that I will have to do a random news afternoon special.  Check back at noon for that.  In the meantime, here is the morning edition of the random news.  My first Citi Prestige statement closed and I received the full $250 airline travel credit.

Ebags AMEX Offer and Updates Regarding US Bank FlexPerks, Citi American Airlines, and Chase Southwest Airlines Retention Offers

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good evening everyone, I had an interesting day today.  I took my cousin’s Australia Shepherd puppy for a walk this morning and grabbed the wrong set of keys.  I was locked out of the apartment for a few hours and had a very interest afternoon with stops at the Apple Store (buying a Mophie portable battery), Panera Bread (their table-side ordering is amazing, btw), and Petco (lunch for the pup).  Now that I am safely/warmly back inside, here are some random news to share.

There is an AMEX Offer for Ebags.com where you can get a $15 statement credit after making a purchase of $75 or more.  I noticed that Ebags sells gift cards online, but there is nothing on Gift Card Granny regarding buy back rate.

My Review of FTU Advanced San Diego and Tacos el Gordo

Posted on by . 48 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Myself and approximately 200 other miles and points “collectors” gathered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego this past weekend.  We had several speakers from Boarding Area (Greg @ Frequent Miler, Ben/Lucky @ One Mile at a Time, Gary @ View from the Wing, Scott @ Travel Codex, and Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai) along with Mathew @ Upgrd.  The event began Friday night with a cocktail reception out on the lawn and it was my first chance to meet the other attendees.  I must confess, I had appetizers in the Regency Club before the reception and went back afterwards for some dessert.  The food in the Regency Club was very fresh and the desserts were delicious.
