OK so I know it’s strong to say pricing American Airlines AAdvantage new award sucks but it’s true. Now we have to find another airline for international award travel. We used American for most of our international trips because the…

I think the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass is the BEST cheap trick to travel. In 2016, we managed to take 8 free flights using all points for my husband’s flights and the Southwest Companion Pass for my free flights.
Manhattan is one of the world’s most expensive cities. But it’s possible to visit Manhattan on the cheap.
Food is the number one reason we love New Orleans and history is a distant second. Fortunately we had Club Carlson e-certificates for 2 free nights and enough points for a third night, and we used Southwest Airline’s Rapid Rewards for Bob to fly free and I am his free companion.
Our 2017 Spring trip to Europe using points as much as possible is coming together. Airfares to Europe are very cheap right now but I’d rather use points and go nearly free. I feel the same about hotels…there are affordable Airbnb apartments and small pensions, but I’d rather go free when possible.

We just got back from 4 FREE nights at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. We scored these free nights by getting the Hyatt Signature Visa credit cards for both me and and my husband, Bob. Each card comes with 2 free nights at any Hyatt in the world after spending just $1000.
Yesterday I moved money from one bank account into Fidelity Investments and scored free American Airlines Frequent Flyer miles through a special promotion. You can also get bonus Delta and United airline miles with Fidelity Investments.
