Good evening everyone, I hope your week is going well. I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 offers that end soon. 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 3 offers that end soon. Up first, Choice Hotels is offering a 25% discount, when you purchase at least 4,000 Choice Privileges Points. This offer expires on May 20.

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. A few weeks ago, I noticed that some of my Wyndham Rewards Points were set to expire later this year, so I went down the rabbit hole and looked at various redemption options available for Wyndham Rewards Points. For part 1, I am going to cover transferring Wyndham Rewards Points to airline miles (which airlines are available, what are the transfer ratios, and what are the transfer times) and cover some of the timeshare fees (brief overview). Check out part 2 where I cover transferring Wyndham Rewards Points to Caesars Rewards Points (and transfers back) and a way to extend the expiration date of your Wyndham Rewards Points.
To get started, I signed into my Wyndham Rewards account and went to the More Ways to Redeem page. From there, I clicked on Points Transfer Partners.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and a Merry Christmas (if you celebrated the holiday). Since 2020 is almost over (thank goodness!), let’s review My Wildly Ambitious 2020 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions. To be honest, I totally forgot that I wrote this post and I haven’t looked at it since it was published on December 30, 2019. Here is what I wrote last year for my predictions and my thoughts on each prediction (correct in green and wrong in red):
My 2020 Airline Predictions
Good afternoon everyone. The holiday season is upon us and we are now in the home stretch. If you still have a few more gifts to give this year, there is still time to send your friends, family members, neighbors and teammates a gift card. Of course you can run out to your local grocery store, restaurant, pharmacy, or office supply store to pick up a physical gift card, but if you don’t want to leave your house, you can buy a virtual gift card from the convenience of your phone (and earn rewards). Whenever I need to buy a gift card for myself or for someone else, there are 3 apps that I use: Slide, Fluz, and MileagePlusX.
I will go into more detail on how to use each app, but there are 3 important things to know about these apps: your virtual gift card is ready to use right away; you can usually purchase the virtual gift card in an exact dollar amount; and you earn rewards in the form of cash back or United Airlines Miles. Without further ado, let’s go through these 3 apps.
Slide offers 4% cash back on all virtual gift card purchases (which may be higher or lower than the other 2 apps, depending on the store). If you are a new member, please use my Slide referral link and you will get a $5 credit towards your first 4 purchases ($20 off total). For comparison purposes, I bought Panera Bread virtual gift cards from all 3 apps to compare the process and show the various rewards. After you create your Slide account, type the store name into the search box. If the store is offered on Slide, you will see it in the search results. Click on the store name to purchase a virtual gift card.
