Beached Out? Book A Mountain Getaway For Free

When it comes to my family’s travel plans, I have to admit that we feel a little “beached out” lately. Not only did we go to St. Maarten in January, but we also planned a trip to the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in Montego Bay for spring break. And later this year, we’re going to […]

Promo For 1,000 Free Hilton Points Extended

Given that we've seen a lot of online accounts being hacked lately, the loyalty programs are taking account security much more seriously.


In mid-February, Hilton announced that they’d offer 1,000 bonus points for changing your HHonors account password by March 8, 2015. Apparently they were having “issues” with the promotion at the time, so had to postpone it by several weeks. Odd, I know!


Several weeks later the promo finally went live, whereby it was possible to earn 1,000 HHonors bonus points for changing your HHonors password by March 25, 2015.

Rick’s Picks: Grab Two Limited-Time Offers for Amex Hilton Cards

I’d try grabbing these two offers (one this month and one the next) from Amex for Hilton Honors points. Both of these increased offers are limited-time offers that run from April 1 – May 4. Instead of getting both on the same day (which may be a difficult move), grab one now and the other […]

EXCLUSIVE: American Improving Meal Service Starting May 1

On April 1 American reintroduced linens in domestic first class for short and medium haul flights. That’s been reported elsewhere. The good news is that American isn’t done making changes to their meal service, and addressing the areas that have gotten significant customer feedback (like the cookies…). I think we have three things coming together: […]
