Aloft Cancun Downtown Review (Cat 2: 3-4000 SPG Points)

It’s still hip, stylish, and youthful (I would use the word boyish, but that would be sexist 🙂 ). I’m sure a lot of people like the style and appreciate theContinue Reading

Amazon Payments Is [Almost] Dead

I will be brief. Told ya.

Live from Cancun: Hot, Sticky, Noisy, and PRICEY!

  It’s been a while since I flew on Spirit, and it didn’t disappoint. It brought me to Cancun an hour late due to some computer issues, but luckily, the problem occurred on the second leg from FLL. If it had happened to my New York flight, I wouldn’t have made it. The Big FrontContinue Reading

Why You Must Take Advantage of IHG “Into the Fall” Promo (Even If You Don’t Care About Hotel Promos)

I catch a lot of flack for not covering hotel promos. I just don’t. I have this ridiculous desire of writing about things that interest me. That does backfire at times, as different people have different interests. My situation is unique, as I rarely pay for my travel. I rarely go on a business trip, andContinue Reading

My Best Credit Card Offers in the World Are Updated, and More

Nothing too excited. I removed old Citi AA links and replaced them with working ones–does anyone have any idea why they keep doing it? Added another BoA 75,000 Virgin Atlantic offer, which I, personally, am not going to use due to $12,000 spend. For some reason, I forgot to add Capital One Venture 40,000-point offerContinue Reading
