IHG Rewards

It’s been a while since I’ve booked a stay which earned IHG Rewards points.

The last time I can recall earning some IHG points was from the Priceless Surprises promo. (I may have also earned some points from some small purchases with my IHG credit card.)

Now IHG “wants the chance to reward me again” with a Welcome Back Bonus! Continue reading IHG Rewards Wants To Reward Me 3,000 Bonus Points

AA Responds to My Request to Waive Award Ticket Cancellation Fee

I recently shared some exciting news about why I had to cancel our flights to Fiji and Vanuatu which were booked with AA miles.

When you cancel an AA award you are given time to rebook your trip or you can pay a fee to have your miles redeposited into your account.

IHG Accelerate 2016: Bonus Earned- 47,951 Points for $108

 IHG Accelerate 2016

Back in mid-January, Kim, Lucas and I headed to one of our favorite hotels, EVEN Hotels in Norwalk, CT. (Check out my review of the property here.)

We booked a stay at the hotel for a couple of reasons. There were a few fun things we wanted to do in Connecticut but more importantly Kim would be able to complete 5 of 6 offers to (hopefully) earn a nice chunk of bonus points from IHG’s Accelerate 2016.
