Interview with Stacy who Redeemed Three Hyatt Certificates on One Night Stay at Hyatt Vendome!

August 25, 2016 By Leana 3 Comments

Here is another installment in my series of interviews with readers.

Fail In Trying to Convert Citi Premier Card to Citi Thank You Preferred

September 8, 2015 By Leana 14 Comments

I’ve mentioned in my last week’s post that we were finally able to successfully book flights for my in-laws from Germany to Italy. However, we still needed to take care of our flights from Munich to Naples. In fact, that’s the reason I got the increased bonus on Chase United Mileage Plus card. The only […]

Miles and Points, Disumbrationism

October 24, 2014 By Leana Leave a Comment

1. An update: My husband’s offer reverted to the original one. I guess, I’ll go ahead with this promotion after all, since we only need 1-night stay to qualify for his bonus 2 nights. The plot thickens! In case you’ve missed the whole IHG “Into the nights” debacle, read my posts from Monday and Tuesday. IHG […]
