Hilton Cancels 279 Point Per Night Mistake Bookings, Oh Well…

Deals, , ,

Hilton Cabo San Lucas

A couple of days back I came across a deal (mistake?) posted by One Mile At A Time. The Hilton Cabo San Lucas was offering rooms for an overly ridiculous low price of 279 points per night.

I quickly logged in to my Hilton HHonors account and booked a random weekend towards the end of September for 3 nights.

I wasn’t even sure if we could take the trip if the rate was honored since there are things to consider like work and getting a flight to the destination… Continue reading Hilton Cancels 279 Point Per Night Mistake Bookings, Oh Well… →

Hilton HHonors Bonus Points

Yesterday I wrote about a couple of very interesting newer features available through Hilton’s mobile app.

I wrote my post after receiving an e-mail from Hilton earlier in the day with the subject “Check out a new way to check in“. The next bit of info is what really caught my attention- “Only with us, now you can choose your room“. Continue reading Earn An EASY 500 Hilton HHonors Points →

Are Timeshare Presentations Worth the Perks? + Interesting Offer

Deals, ,

Before you jump to conclusions, let’s get this out-of-the-way. I am not saying that buying a timeshare is a good idea or that I would ever consider buying one- I wouldn’t.

However, Kim and I have attended some presentations to take advantage of various deals. At the presentations I’ve always been upfront and let them know that I am not interested and only have only come for the offer.

This usually annoys the salesperson and it is definitely funny to see how quickly their bubbly personality changes. Continue reading Are Timeshare Presentations Worth the Perks? + Interesting Offer →

Atlanta Trip Planning

A couple of weeks back we went to Atlanta over the holiday weekend. The first question we kept getting was- why Atlanta? My reasoning was no different than most of our other trips: Why not? The two main things I wanted to do were to check out another baseball stadium, Turner Field- home of the Atlanta Braves. And secondly,  just to visit a new state (although we only got to visit one city in Georgia).

Putting together our trip was relatively easy and cheap thanks to miles & points. Without miles & points I doubt that we would’ve taken this trip at all. It woud have been a pretty costly long weekend.

During our trip, the weather in Atlanta was really nice. It was pretty hot but with little humidity- making for some pretty comfortable weather. We did get caught in the rain heading back from the Braves game during our last day but it didn’t mess up our plans!
