Next weekend we’ll be heading off on one of our final trips of 2016. This will be a relatively short visit to a new state for us. I felt this was a good opportunity to use some of my Southwest points before my Companion Pass expires.

With 2016 in its final months, it looks like this will be the lowest amount of miles and points that i’ve earned from credit card bonuses in years. And sadly, I can’t see it getting much better in the future thanks to strict new approval rules with Chase…

The rest of this year’s travel plans are taking shape. It looks like we’ll be flying for a couple of more trips before the new year!

I used my City National Points for one trip and got to use some of my Southwest points for the other. I was approved for another Alaska Airlines credit card but this is looking like it will be the lowest miles & points I’ve earned from credit cards in quite some time.

My Southwest Companion Pass expires at the end of this year so I’m trying to figure out a way (time is an issue) to use up most of my points. I’m currently considering a couple of trips which would probably use up a good amount of them.

Now that I’m done with the minimum spend on my newest credit card, I’m trying to decide on what to apply for next. Since I was denied for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, I could still try getting approved at a branch but that sounds like a pain.

Since we’re now into fall, it’s time to seriously start considering some winter travel options.

I’m thinking about a quick domestic trip in a few weeks from now since I still have some Southwest Rapid Rewards points to burn. As for winter break, that is a tough one. My work schedule only allows for travel during the peak holiday dates so what do I do? I’m hoping some sort of deal comes up. I also need to look into some options with miles… Continue reading Brad Pitt Opening Lux Resort, Video: Casey Neistat’s $21K 1st Class Seat, North Korea Internet, Shortest International Flight, Win 100K AA Miles, JetBlue Schedule Extended & More- The Rehash! →

I’m almost done completing the minimum spend required to earn the bonus on my newest credit card. This means I have a decision to make soon.

Do I try to get approved for the Chase Sapphire Reserve at a bank branch or just apply for Kim and hope that she gets approved online? I’m leaning towards just applying for Kim since I’d rather not take the time out at the moment to head to a Chase bank.

Otherwise, there isn’t much going on around here! Continue reading Win A Trip to Belize, Biz Class Tix to China, JetBlue Offered $10K for Lost Unaccompanied Minor, 500 Free Virgin America Points, Obama on Bourdain’s Parts Unknown & More- The Rehash! →

There isn’t much to report around here. I was happy to see the bonus post from the JetBlue- Virgin points match offer. Did you take part in the promo.

I’m currently working on hitting the minimum spend on my newest credit card. After applying and being declined for the Chase Sapphire Reserve, I’ve debated whether or not I should try to apply at a Chase branch. Then again, I’m not sure I really have time for that at the moment!

I’ve been itching to book a flight for a future trip so I decided to take advantage of United’s coach award sale to Asia. Over Spring Break, we’ll be heading back to what’s probably my favorite part of the world.

This past week I flew to Boston to fulfill the terms of the JetBlue Virgin America points match. Now I’m just waiting to see when my bonus posts!

Early Sunday morning there were some crazy deals to Eastern Europe on Air Serbia. I tried booking a flight to Podgorica, Montenegro for a ridiculously cheap $227 per person. After entering our info, I sadly saw the message that the price was no longer available! I must’ve missed out on the deal by minutes as it wasn’t around for very long. Definitely disappointing but with these deals, there are never any guarantees.

I’m pretty much done with the minimum spend on my newest credit cards and decided it was time to apply for a Citi AA card before new rules kick-in.
