Back in 2014, Kim, Lucas and I spent a night at IHG’s EVEN Hotels in Norwalk, CT. (Check out my review of EVEN Hotels Norwalk.)  We stayed at the hotel to earn a very nice amount of points from the Into the Nights promo.

When we stayed at EVEN there were only two locations for the brand, Norwalk, CT and Rockville, MD. Then it was announced that three more EVEN Hotels would be added in NYC. Since then I saw that they also added a location in Omaha, Nebraska.

I just received a bonus offer from IHG where I could earn 10,000 bonus points for a stay at EVEN Hotels. Continue reading 10,000 IHG Points for Staying At EVEN Hotels

What Did I Do With 100K Amex Membership Rewards Points

Amex Membership Rewards points

I recently had a very important decision to make with 100,000+ American Express Membership Rewards points.

The fee was due on my American Express Business Gold Rewards card. At $175 per year, we’re talking a pretty significant fee. Since I had over 100,000 Membership Rewards points in my account, I needed to decide whether or not I should pay the fee or transfer my points and close my card.

I had mentioned that I would not pay the fee or transfer the card to a no fee Membership Rewards earning account in my previous post.

So what did I do? Continue reading What Did I Do With 100K Amex Membership Rewards Points

Miles & Points Earned from Credit Card Bonuses in 2015

Travel Tips

With the first weeks of 2016 coming to an end, it’s time to take a look at how many miles and points I earned from credit card sign up bonuses in 2015.

Last year was a much slower one when it comes to applying for credit cards. New cards offering huge bonuses never seemed to show up until close to the end of the year. However a couple of new banks tempted me to apply for their cards, one of them coming with a really impressive offer. Continue reading Miles & Points Earned from Credit Card Bonuses in 2015

What Should I Do? 100K Amex Membership Rewards Points

Amex Membership Rewards Points

In December of 2014, the last credit card that I was approved for was the American Express Business Gold Rewards card.

The card came with a very nice signup bonus of 75,000 Amex Membership Rewards points. The annual fee was waived for the first year.

I’ve been hoping for a bonus to come along from one of Amex’s transfer partners to help decide what to do with my points. Well, that hasn’t happened and now the time has come to make a decision. Continue reading What Should I Do? 100K Amex Membership Rewards Points

600 IHG Points Or A Free Drink- What Would You Choose?

IHG Points

Kim, Lucas and I recently spent a night at IHG’s new EVEN Hotels location in NYC at Times Square South. We booked the hotel using an IHG credit card anniversary free night. (IHG credit cardholders get one free night at any hotel around the world each year.)

After staying at the EVEN Hotels in Norwalk, CT, I was happy to see that the EVEN brand was expanding by adding 3 NYC locations.

Since we really enjoyed our stay in Norwalk, we figured it would be fun to see how the first NYC location compared. Continue reading 600 IHG Points Or A Free Drink- What Would You Choose?

300 US Bank FlexPerks Points for Watching a Video

US Bank FlexPerks

I recently wrote about a way to earn an EASY 500 Bonus US Bank FlexPerks points.

I enrolled my card to earn the free points since there was certainly nothing to lose!

My FlexPerks bill recently arrived and along with it was an insert for something called the Nucleus. I can’t say that I’ve heard of this device before nor am I interested in getting one.

However, I was interested in a way to get 300 FREE FlexPoints for watching a short video. Continue reading 300 US Bank FlexPerks Points for Watching a Video
