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! →

Kim, Lucas and I got back from a really fun trip to Jamaica just in time to be home for New Year’s. The island really impressed us more than we had expected. Definitely a good thing and great way to end our year in regards to travel.

Trip planning is in full swing around here. We currently have flights booked for 4 trips in 2015 including one we booked during the best flight connection ever.

This has been  a pretty exciting last week of the year when it comes to travel.

We’re currently on our last trip of the year in Jamaica! While we were on the way here from New York, I ended up booking a flight for a trip that we’ll be going on later in the year! Pretty fun stuff…

As 2014 is coming to a close , flights for the majority of our 2015 travels are already in place! Booking the flights are usually the easy part, deciding on itineraries and choosing accommodations tend to be the harder part of travel (though still a lot of fun).

A birthday has passed, we’re setting out on our final trip of 2014 later in the week and I booked a flight for us for April to a destination I’ve been itching to get to for years. Overall, this has been a really busy and fun week.

Last week I mentioned ordering a guidebook before booking the flights for a potential trip. Well the tickets are booked so the guide will get some use like I assumed it would!

I hope that everyone celebrating Hanukkah has enjoyed the holiday so far. And for those of you celebrating Christmas, I hope that you’re close to finishing up (or finished) with your holiday shopping.

I’m down to one week of work before I have my winter break! Prior to heading off on our final international trip of the year, I’ll have a few days at home to relax. (When we travel, relaxing isn’t usually on the itinerary!)

I did something that I’ve never done before. I ordered a guidebook before booking flights for a trip next year. (Yes, I still like guidebooks.) I had a 25% off coupon for Barnes & Noble, got 8% cash back from TopCashback and found a bunch of B&N giftcards at home so it led to buying the book before we know if we’re definitely going to the destination!

It was a tough getting back into the swing of things at work after an extra long weekend. With that said, Cyber Monday helped us finish booking our fast approaching winter travel plans.

We have one trip left for 2014 that we’re definitely looking forward to. I’m already working on plans for our trip in the Spring. I have a few incredible ideas and we’re debating which location will be the winner.

I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and enjoyed the long weekend.

We took it easy over here on Black Friday but had a really fun time spending our free money from Amex Small Business Saturday. How bad could it be having a free $120 to spend!

We’re trying to finish off booking our next trip which is fast approaching while my mind is already focusing on our potential Spring Break trip. Continue reading Service Pig on Plane, 94 Y.O. Man w/ Gun at LGA, Venice Ban On Wheeled Luggage, Win Best Travel Pants- The Rehash! →

As we get closer to Thanksgiving so does another Black Friday and more importantly another Small Business Saturday. I hope that you’ve all registered your American Express cards by now.

I hope that you all have a nice holiday and for those of you traveling, that you don’t get stuck in much traffic or get delayed at the airport. Continue reading Amex Target Pain, Major JetBlue Changes, $2000 IHG Free Night, MLB Son’s Airport Bomb Scare & More- The Rehash! →

We’re another week closer to Thanksgiving and for those of you that didn’t realize, registration is now open for Amex Small Business Saturday!
