Earn 1,000 Hilton Points For Changing Your Password (For Real This Time)!

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. They promised they'd provide an update once the promotion was ready to go.

The promotion is now ready to go, and you can earn 1,000 bonus HHonors points by changing your account password by March 25, 2015.

To change your password simply log into your Hilton HHonors account. Then at the bottom left of the page click on “Personal Information.”

Traveling On Points and Miles Once the Kids Start School

Traveling with kids has its own set of challenges, but it gets immeasurably harder once the kids enter school. Up until this last year, we were able to travel during off-peak times (think spring break in early May) and travel on optimal days to save on airfare (imagine flying Tuesday–Tuesday). Then, last fall, my oldest […]

Even Billionaires Love Points!

Last July I wrote about the Chinese art collector, Liu Yiqian, who used his American Express Centurion Card to pay for a HK$281 million (US$36 million) ancient Chinese ceramic cup.

Well, Liu Yiqian is back in the news again today, this time for his purchase of a US$45 million 15th century Tibetan embroidered silk thangka.

The best part? The focus of the story isn't even the purchase, but rather the points he's earning... and that he used points to fly to Hong Kong to make the purchase!

Via Bloomberg, it looks like he's paying more attention to points since the last story was written about him:

Virgin America Offering 2-for-1 Flights (It’s Like a Dallas Companion Pass, Without the Work)

Airline seats are mostly sold as commodity products. The genius of frequent flyer programs has been to take what is essentially an interchangeable thing — a seat one from city to another connecting in a third city — and create differentiation and brand loyalty. What hasn’t historically worked in the US market is to offer […]

Review: American Airlines First Class 777-300ER Los Angeles To London

After a day running around Los Angeles with a Silvercar rental, it was off to London for the next portion of the journey. I was oddly excited about this segment, since I'm so used to taking flights from the East Coast to London, which are so short that you can't really get any sleep.

We arrived at the airport right as boarding began, and turned left into the first class cabin. I won't talk too much about the cabin itself, as I covered that extensively in the installment for the flight between London and New York.

I quickly settled into 2A, where all of the amenities for the flight were already waiting for me -- Bose headphones, bottled water, the menu, the amenity kit, slippers, and even pajamas.

On one hand that seemed efficient, on the other hand it quickly became clear why the service was so thorough upfront -- the crew's sole goal was to limit interaction with passengers.
