a collage of different foodsThe targeted offers keep coming in…

Delta is offering me 1,000 bonus miles for dining out at 3 new restaurants. This offer is by invitation only for select SkyMiles Dining members. (Don’t I feel special!)

When I saw this offer, my first question was- What is considered a new restaurant? Continue reading 1,000 Bonus SkyMiles- Dine at 3 New Restaurants- Targeted

Woud You Spend SkyMiles For Experiences

a group of people smiling for a photo Last week I wrote a post and asked if you would Bid With Miles For a Flight Simulator Experience.  Here are some other options where you can use miles to bid for a variety of experiences.

Would I use my miles for this kind of thing? No! But, I do think it is interesting to see what Delta would like to offer us as options to spend our miles on.

I’ve received e-mails in the past from Delta about their SkyMiles Auctions but don’t think that I’ve ever actually taken a moment to see what was offered. I probably haven’t looked since the odds are extremely high that I would not bid with my miles for any sort of experience. However, maybe I would be surprised by what I saw…

Delta Flight Museum Just Re-Opened, It’s Awesome

a man jumping in front of a buildingWhen I booked our flight to Atlanta I was disappointed to hear that the Delta Flight Museum was closed for renovations. It was actually supposed to reopen a few weeks after we were in town.

I decided to give the museum a call anyway just to be safe. If the museum was open, it was an attraction that I didn’t want to miss. I was surprised when someone answered the phone and told me that the museum had actually opened a bit earlier than planned!

I checked out the museum’s website (where it still stated it would be reopening mid- June) and tickets were for sale. I decided to hold off on buying them just in case something came up and we couldn’t make it. This ended up being a great move. A $12 per person entry fee would’ve cost Kim and I over $25 with tax, but when we arrived we were told that entry was free for now since there was no way for them to collect the money!

Score! An earlier than expected opening plus no fee to get in!

Earn 2,000 Bonus Miles With SkyMiles Dining

I’ve written about airline and hotel dining programs a bunch of times in the past and here is another solid offer currently available.

Earning miles through dining programs is a great way to keep you accounts from expiring (not relevant for Delta since SkyMiles do not expire) but a big problem that I have with these programs is finding restaurants that participate.

SkyMiles Dining is offering 2,000 Bonus Miles for new members or existing members without a dining profile (after their first dine).
