Rehash

I’ve been busy finalizing plans for an upcoming trip and ran into some problems using my Club Carlson e-certificates. Have you booked your free nights from the Club Carlson credit card devaluation?

Besides working on hitting the required spend for a bonus on one of my new cards, there hasn’t been much going on in terms of earning miles and points. How has your week gone when it comes to miles, points and travel?

Now it’s time to take a look back at some of this past week’s posts in a recap that I like to call, The Rehash! Continue reading Canceling Award Flight To Fiji & Vanuatu, Lifetime British Airways Ban, JetBlue 500 Free Flights Giveaway, Air France & Crew Headscarf Probs & More- The Rehash

There are three options. I’m definitely interested in two of the cards, a personal and business card each offering 30,000 points bonuses after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first 90 days.

According to the official Google Blog, they noticed “a whopping 50 percent increase in travel-related questions on mobile phones“. I’ve done lots of travel searches from my iPhone but I haven’t done a whole lot of bookings. (I think I booked one hotel night that I can recall.)

While I was off from work this past week it was actually a good thing that we didn’t have a trip planned. (Yeah I just did say that!)

I was considering a weekend away and then considered just going away with Lucas for a few days. I ended up getting sick and feeling like crap for a week now so any travel would’ve been a bad move.
