I write this post about Delta Skymiles and bonus MQM’s while sitting in the Delta Skyclub in New York, waiting for my flight to Paris. As many of you know I am very loyal to SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest) but its very hard to only stay with them. Sometimes I cant find a SPG hotel…
As many of you know, I am a die-hard , loyal SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest) fan! And I, and many other bloggers value SPG Starpoints higher than any other travel currency. With that said, I try to obtain and hoard starpoints any way I can! How else could I afford to stay at the fabulous…
So this is not my normal type of post, but its a quick , travel related deal, that anyone can use! You can always use the money you save towards a flight somewhere! With Fuel Rewards, you can save all the time at Shell gas stations, at least $0.05 cents a gallon just for using…
I wrote about getting your passport before, because I truly feel like everyone should have their passport for many reasons! Its suggested that less then half of Americans hold a valid passport, and this fact is just sad! Now that the “Real ID Act” is kicking in , you may or may not need one…
Hotel and airline loyalty programs were designed to promote loyalty to the particular brand. Unfortunately it seems more and more, most programs do not actually promote loyalty and actually even punish it. Most hotel and airline loyalty programs now have switched over to revenue based. This means points and perks are based mostly on how…
Right now is a great time to earn multiple hotel and airline status’s.

In this post, I will show you how to get status with at least 3 major hotel chains,…
Delta is currently hosting a promotion in which they are offering free SkyMiles in 1000 increments. How the promotion works is for every “new” partner transaction, you will earn 1000 SkyMiles. New is defined is a partner you haven’t ever earned OR haven’t earned in last year (see terms). If you are not very…
If you travel much, you have more then likely heard of fuel surcharge’s that many airline’s charge. This was instituted several years ago when fuel was very high and the airline’s used it as an excuse to pay the difference in fuel costs. The problem with this is fuel has long since went down even…
I have flown on Etihad before, but only in coach and business class. I have always wanted to fly their first class product, as its one of, if not the best going, at least that is what I have read in many places. I have not flown every airlines’ first class, so I can’t say, but…
Most of the major airlines and some of the hotel programs offer a dining program. What this means is you can earn miles or points by simply eating or dining at participating restaurants as your normally might. It sounds too good to be true, but like I wrote about in previous posts, it’s not. Just like…
Right now, Delta is offering cheap flights to Spain from all over the USA, including my home airports of OKC and Tulsa. I just booked one for $400 in March 2017 to Barcelona from OKC, which is very cheap. There seems to be availability from many US cities, with the exception of Delta hubs,…
As I have mentioned in previous post’s, hotel programs offer promotions from time to time. Hilton is usually pretty good about offering great promotions, and right now there are a few great ones going on. Hilton is one of my favorite programs for several different reasons. They have a large hotel footprint, and have some…
