2,000 Bonus Starpoints Per Tribute Portfolio Stay

Earlier today I wrote about Starwood's newest hotel brand, Tribute Portfolio. The brand's motto is "Stay Independent," and it will consist of boutique independent hotels, primarily in the US and Europe.


So far five Tribute locations have been announced. The first Tribute property will be the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, which will be the only Tribute Property in 2015. Starting in 2016 more properties will be opened, including in Asheville, North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina.


To celebrate Starwood's 10th hotel brand, they're offering up to 10,000 bonus Starpoints for eligible paid stays at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami through July 15, 2015. Through this promotion you earn 2,000 bonus Starpoints for each stay, so you can earn a bonus for up to five stays.

British Airways Business Class New York – Paris Less Than $1000 Roundtrip Using a Sale and These Two Easy Tricks.

American, British Airways, and BA's 'OpenSkies' are matching cheap business class prices to Paris. The fares are even cheaper when 2 passengers travel together. BA offers discounts to AARP members (anyone can join) and to British Airways Visa co-brand cardholders. These discounts stack.


I've never seen non-mistake fare business class tickets to Europe cheaper for just one passenger. But when two passengers travel together and stack these discounts, the price is $984 apiece. Wow.
