US Airways Grand Slam – Hits 34, 35, and 36

  • teleflora – $44.98 was the cost for hit 34.
  • FTD – $44.15 was the cost for hit 35.
  • Hit 36 was a Choice hotel stay for a total of $52.20. I checked in, but didn’t bother seeing the room.

And this means…I’m done!

The total cost for 100,000 miles was just under $515 with my cost per mile ending at around .6 cents. These last 3 hits were a lot more expensive than any others, but worth it since I’d gotten so many cheap/free ones. Fun promotion, but I won’t mind waiting a year to do it again.

Southwest Airlines Card – 2 Free Round-Trips

Again, if you’re looking for a Chase credit card, this is a good option (while it lasts). Chase obviously has the best mileage cards by far, but I do try to limit my Chase applications to one every 3 months.

Marriott Credit Card Application & Why I’m Done With Hilton

Hilton Honors has essentially taken part in a clever scheme to devalue their points. Its made them the hotel equivalent of Delta SkyPesos. Because of this, I applied for the Chase Marriott card promotion today. I was instantly approved (a rare thing for me), and I’d say 70,000 points is a good start at my new hotel! If you don’t have many Chase cards or hotel points, this is a great one. The points come after first use, and the annual fee is waived for the first year.
