It’s been a slow week here when it comes to miles, points and travel. (I might still be coming down from the high of booking our flights to the South Pacific with AA miles for this summer.)

The ideas are flowing around here for summer travel plans although we’ve yet to commit to anything. Will you be traveling this summer? If so, where are you going?

I got approved for the Alaska Airlines credit card. This will be an easy 30,000 miles plus a $100 statement credit. Once I’m done with that card maybe I’ll go for the US Bank Altitude Reserve…

We’re hopefully going to take our longest trip to date, to a region we haven’t visited in quite some time. I’m crossing my fingers that I can find an award flight with my AA miles.
