Why cry about devalued IHG points when we can smile at top-level status that was never intended for us?
Don’t worry, it’s 2018…nothing needs to make logical sense anymore.

More Delta
The constant stream of Delta deals marches on. Also, I wanted to share an email in response to yesterday’s post:
I love Your blog. Love it. You may have heard thousands of Marriott workers are on strike for living wages. No one should be spending $$ at Marriott until the strike is over. Even points nerds.
Best,
David
Shit, I’m sure I must have heard something about this situation at some point. But, to be honest, I have no memory of it. Must have gone in one ear and out the other. I definitely don’t want to support people getting screwed over. My bad, David.
Have a great weekend, nerds!
Marriott Rebates
A very nice lady I know (my mom) lived in a Residence Inn for an extended period of time.
They were so sweet to her there and I guess I’ve had a soft spot for Marriott ever since.
(Man, this one really would have come in handy a couple of years ago)
Anyway, if you have paid stays coming up at Marriott, definitely keep checking Ebates. Their cash back rebate is jumping around like crazy this week…1.5% to 12% to 8% back to 1.5%.
At this exact moment, it’s up to 10% but I’m pretty sure that will change again soon. If you’re planning to spend money at a Marriott, keep an eye on Ebates.
Avis Drive Free
Reader Chris sent this Avis “Drive Free” promo over and it looks way less depressing than typical rental car offers. It actually seems pretty damn good. Particularly for people who rent pretty often. If I’m understanding this correctly, it looks like a free day reward for each two-day rental through the end of February. With a max of 10 rewards. Make sure you register first.
JetBlue Unique Thing
Not really sure what to call this.
A promo? A contest?
I’ll just go with “a thing.”
JetBlue is sending 50 winners (and their guests) to volunteer at a mystery destination.
11/27 to 11/30 departing from JFK.
Interesting.
Sounds like the kind of thing your mom would be proud of you for doing.
Fyi, there’s a tiny amount of writing required (150 words or less).
