Like last January, we had an interesting start to our 2015 travels due to a flight cancellation which left us stuck an extra day in Orlando. Maybe this is the start of a new tradition for us.

Find out what the flight cancellation cost us.

Otherwise it’s been a pretty uneventful week in terms of travel. We need to start finishing up booking the details for some of our future trips but Kim and I tend to wait until within a month (give or take) of the trips. Probably not the best strategy but it’s worked so far. Continue reading Flight Cancellation Costs, Runway Run, Hotel Staffed By Robots , Selfie Stick Ban, Service Kangaroo & More! The Rehash →

We’re probably just landing back in NYC from our first trip of 2015 to Orlando. The main purpose of our visit was to check out Disney World, a place that I surprisingly haven’t visited before.

Find out about the trip Planning: $140.18 + 65,000 points= Trip for 3 to Orlando.

It’s been a long and busy week here and I’m pretty exhausted from our early flight on Friday morning along with our busy past few days so I’m going to cut this short.

It’s time to look at some posts from this past week in a recap that I like to call The Rehash! Continue reading Choose Hotel Room With App, Prison Dining, Free Points, Pilot Secrets, TSA Year in Review & More- The Rehash! →

At the end of this week we’ll be leaving on our first trip of the new year so it was about time that I finally finished getting all of the details worked out.

It was also a good week for manufactured spend, something I haven’t done in quite some time. I loaded my Amex Target REDcard a couple of times in the past few days and boy was it a breeze! (I need to thank the people who helped me get a REDcard since it is not available in the NYC area. It’s definitely much appreciated.)

Overall this has been a pretty uneventful week when it comes to travel, miles and points. Once I’m done completing the required spend on my Amex Gold Business card, I hope to find some good offers to start applying for to start this new year off right.

We’re almost done finalizing the plans for our first trip of 2015. With the expiration date closing in on my Marriott free night reward certificate, I was glad to make real use of it. I got the free night from the Marriott Rewards credit card. Being that it’s only good for a category 1-4 hotel, it became a bit of a pain to figure out how to get the best value and the most useful stay.   Continue reading Best On Time Airport, America’s Best Airline, Three Years Old- 20 Countries Visited, Two Passengers On Delta Flight, Targeted Offers & More-The Rehash! →

We’re a little over a week into the new year and I hope that it is going well for everyone.

I’ve booked another flight for the middle of the year. With my United voucher from when we were stuck in Oslo expiring in a couple of months , I wanted to be sure to find the right match for it. Mission accomplished. I’ll be writing about how I used it soon. This makes it 5 flights that are already booked for 2015. On this most recent booking, I’ll be going without Kim and Lucas.

This is a big day for Lucas Miles. It’s his 3rd birthday!  Continue reading 40000 Miles of Good News, Asking For Expired Points Back, Cops Stop In-Flight Suicide, Deported From S Korea, $908 Uber Ride & More- The Rehash! →
