20% Saver Award Rebate to United Elite Credit Card Holders
Mileopoly posts about a 20% Saver Award Rebate for United Elites that have a Mileage Plus Visa card. Registration is required. As a non-elite with United, it did still allow me to register for the promotion. This is more than likely a targeted offer and whether or not that means any miles rebate for me…
My British Airways buy one get one reward voucher arrives
I followed Gary’s advice and so we have enough British Airways miles for anywhere in the world in First Class. I hit a $30,000 spend on my British Airways Visa Card this year which entitled me to a buy one get one reward ticket voucher. I was expecting to receive it by mail and was…

Any restaurant worth anything has some sort of e-club or a way to sign up for promotional emails. I always sign up for these and give…
Using Twitter to your advantage
I signed up for the first time for Twitter because United was going to give a prize to their first 10,000 followers on Twitter. It turned out to be 1,500 Mileage Plus miles. I must admit I didn’t really see the point in using Twitter. It seemed like a way for companies to boast about…
Getting kicked out for a negative review
USA Today write about a couple that were kicked out of their hotel by the manage after being accused of writing a negative review of the hotel. This exact scenario has crossed my mind as I was writing my negative thought about our stay at the Hilton Nassau. I envisioned the manager storming our room…
Two different ways of customer service
I am in the Bahamas and had the opportunity to stay at both the Hilton Nassau and at the Atlantis resort. I stayed at the Hilton Nassau on points as a Diamond member. Two weeks before our arrival, I called the hotel to inform them that we would need a crib in our room. When…
