The link for that last post is here. Only for an hour starting at 9:00 eastern.
5,000 Bonus Miles
I love what I love. But then again, I also hate what I hate. I tend to be unapologetic with both praise and criticism. Without a doubt, one of my unapologetic loves is Rocketmiles. I trust the people and the product keeps getting better with time. No, I don’t post all of their deals, as they have quite a few promotions and I try to focus on the best stuff. Well, today is the best one they’ve ever had and I’ll be taking advantage of it myself. This morning, between 9:00 and 10:00 EST, you’ll get 5,000 bonus miles on any hotel booking as long as you check out by the end of 2013. I’m not supposed to share the link until 9:00 EST, so it will be here then.
Monday Triple
I’d like to get this week started by uttering the familiar phrase, “United sucks.” I think this could be historic. Finally, I said something we can all agree on.
- Pick up 18 American miles per dollar spent (18x) at Neiman Marcus through the American Airlines shopping portal. Another 5x if you use a Chase Freedom card.
- The 100,000-point British Airways credit card is back if you don’t mind gigantic minimum spends.
- I just got 50% off of my Hertz car rental using PC code 194426. The code will expire at the end of the day.
2 Great New Hyatt Options
This post went up just after midnight Pacific time. Until a couple minutes ago, there has always been a fun debate about what to do with Ultimate Rewards points. As you know, there are plenty of UR points to be had. Between the Chase Ink and Sapphire cards., these have been super valuable and the debate was always about transferring to United or Hyatt.
Well, a lot of people just jumped on the Hyatt bandwagon. United has decided to take an unapologetic shit on their customers and issue of the worst devaluations you’ll ever see. You can read people losing their minds on Flyertalk here. This blatant fecal release takes effect February 1st. As always, I recommend making your voice heard. Really let United know how you feel about this and don’t hold back.
Ironically, Hyatt just revealed 2 awesome new options. Los Cabos and Cancun are Hyatt’s entry into the world of all-inclusive hotels. They cost a fair 20,000 and 25,000 points, respectively. These both look great, and there is no more debate for me. Hyatt wins by knockout.
Hotel Thursday
- For people who like to save (which is all of us), these are 2 important links in the world of hotels. SPG’s Hot Escapes and definitely IHG’s latest PointBreaks list.
- I’m not a Radisson guy, but you can save 35% here.
- Marriott wants to give you a bed here.
- Shockingly, it turns out I don’t know everything. I actually learned something new about unwanted Priceline wins by reading this blog.
