Miles and Points Update

September 30, 2014 By Leana 4 Comments

1. New IHG PointBreaks list is now bookable. You can transfer points from Ultimate Rewards, though, it’s not the best use of that program.

Rentals or “Free” Hotel Rooms for Your Family Vacation in Europe?

September 22, 2014 By Leana 20 Comments

Travel isn’t free. Sorry, Drew! It can certainly be almost free or deeply discounted. But it’s never totally 100% free.
