He said […]

Which Credit Card To Use For Daily Getaways Purchase?

I've written extensively about Daily Getaways, whereby you can purchase travel packages at a discount.

The first of five weeks of offers is just wrapping up. So far we've had the opportunity to purchase points from IHG Rewards Club, Club Carlson, and Hilton HHonors.

I'm often asked which credit cards are best for these purchases. The one thing to understand is that Daily Getaways purchases are processed by Daily Getaways, and not the program from which you're buying points. In other words, if you're using this promotion to buy IHG Rewards Club points, your purchase will be processed by Daily Getaways and not by IHG (therefore it doesn't count as hotel spend).

Review: British Airways Galleries First Class Lounge Chicago Airport

I landed from Tampa at around 9:45AM, so first decided to head to the American Flagship Lounge. American operates out of Terminal 3 at O'Hare, while Cathay Pacific operates out of Terminal 5.

The lounges in Terminal 5 aren't exactly exciting, so I decided to first spend about an hour in the Flagship Lounge.

Then at around 11AM I took the train over to Terminal 5. This requires leaving security, so at around 11:15AM I was at Cathay Pacific's check-in counter.

I was quickly checked in and greeted by the station manager. My boarding pass was issued within a minute, at which point I was escorted through security.
