Many of you got in on the limited 100,000-point offer for an Amex Platinum card in January. If you did (or if you otherwise have the card), don’t forget to try for more points here. This is the simple enrollment for extended pay and can pay off with an easy 10,000 points. Those with an Amex Gold can still try to pick up 5,000 easy points for doing the same thing here.
Probably 90% of the answers I’ve heard to “Where would your your dream vacation be” come from 3 places. It’s either Hawaii, Bora Bora, or the Maldives. Hawaii is a little easier to get to (with cash or points), so Bora Bora/Maldives seem to be the most common dream exotic locations. Richard Branson’s Necker Island is in there too, but these seem to be the 2 biggies.
If you’ve been collecting points and miles for a while, you’re probably in position to plan a Maldives trip. It’s complicated I know, but definitely possible. Still, a lot of you are new to the game, and would like to go without points. For you guys, this is a rare sale on a nice property. Go to Jetsetter and search for Anantara Dhigu. Yup, it’s the one on the picture.
I just got an offer for 15,000 bonus miles from Frontier Airlines. Others are getting the same offer from US Airways. The point is, if you have a Barclays card, read your emails and look for postcards in your mailbox. The offer going around is for 15,000 miles if you spend $750 on the card in April, May, and June. Not bad at all.
If you’ve been saving your Hilton points for a super luxury trip (Bora Bora, Maldives, etc), now is the time to book. If you wait past Wednesday, you’re going to need a lot more points than you planned on. The Hilton change is coming fast. Don’t say you weren’t warned. MileNerd out.
