Thanks to reader Sam for sending me this one. Hilton is looking for moms (or dads) who want to blog about travel. You get picked, go to a 1-day “training,” write 20 times in a year, and get 15 Hilton nights anywhere. Not bad if you’re interested in writing anyway. Obviously, if you do get picked, let me know and I’ll post about your new blog.
They’re back for 2015…more free AwardWallet codes for you quick clickers. Log into your account, click “Upgrade Using A Coupon,” and apply a code. This will upgrade your account for 6 months. Please only take 1 of these each. I’ll edit the post at some point in the day when they’re all gone. If you’re new, AwardWallet is a must for tracking all your accounts, balances, user names, passwords, and expiration dates.

I was happy to hear from the fine folks at Rocketmiles yesterday. Nah, I still haven’t booked my first stay with them but I do like their style. They strike me as decent people in a travel industry so full of…well, you know. I’ll check this deal in the morning and see if I can make my first booking. It looks promising…
Today for 24 hours (starting at 8:00 AM CST), get 2x the miles. Any partner. Any number of nights. New customers only. This one-day promo is because Rocketmiles has twice the partners they had a year ago.
Again, I still haven’t booked with them or any of their competitors. Good chance I’ll do it today, though. For those new to this, the main players in the miles-for-hotel stays game are Rocketmiles, PointsHound, and Kaligo (American or United). No real incentive for loyalty from any of them…I’d go wherever the best deal is.
A few of you emailed with this one yesterday. It’s a solid deal, but comes and goes often…
Up to 40,000 ThankYou points for a checking account with Citibank. Go to your local branch if you want to sign up. As always, you can get different bonuses for each tier of account. Citigold has the highest bonus (40,000 points) and the highest fee ($30 a month). Do a bill payment for the first 2 months and you’ll collect the bonus within 90 days. Worst case, you should pay $150 for the points. Not a bad trade for some, too expensive for others. Of course, you’d want to close the account as soon as you get the points. Also, no monthly fee if you’re made of money and deposit $50,000.
A few of you also emailed the same account with a different partner. It also comes and goes…the ol’ 30,000 American Airline-mile bonus. I haven’t looked yet, but I’m assuming you’ll need a promo code as usual. I got 2 different ones from you guys – DTTEZS60ML and DWBXLFT7VF. If neither work, I’ll update the post with whatever else I receive. It’s a good enough deal, but I don’t like paying $30 a month. I’m passing on this one.
This won’t be available to most of you, but I got the email and thought it was worth sharing. For anyone who has driven for competitors (like Lyft), Uber is giving away an easy 500 bucks. Sign up to drive, complete a trip in 30 days, and collect your money. I still have a love/hate relationship with Uber, but this seems like a great deal. I only skimmed the details, so read them carefully if you go for this one.
