So much the last few days, mostly odds and ends. First, two quick Marriott Offers:

Marriott Homes and Villas – Earn 25X on Base Spend (5X Normal)

Marriott Bonvoy members who book a 5+ night stay in a private home rental between June 3-26, 2024, and stay between June 3,2024 – March 31, 2025, will earn 5X points per stay. Details can be found here.

I confirmed that with the usual offer being 5X points per dollar, that we are talking 25X and they did confirm that is the case, so if you were lining up a vacation rental, that’s a pretty nice incentive. Any elite member points bonuses are also earned on top.

American Express® Rewards Checking Debit Card Offer

Book American Airlines Awards Online at Cathay Pacific

It’s not new to be able to book AA using CX (Cathay Pacific) Asia Miles (transferable from Amex, Citi, Capital One, and Bilt) is new – and awesome. Here’s a First Class booking from JFK to LAX in First (while AA still offers it).

Just the normal $5.60 in fees.

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! Several years ago, I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born. Since then, I've written my book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points (2nd Edition) - (author profile), give seminars on miles and points all over the world, and occasionally write for publications such as Frommer's and Forbes Advisor.
