Thursday Triple

  • 25 very, very easy Hertz points. Definitely worth the 10 seconds just to extend your expiration date.
  • Good email from reader James here:
    “Hmm, seems like you can buy Alaska miles if booking awards for a penny each. Haven’t seen this covered yet, but was searching Alaska to buy a gift cert to use my Amex offer of $75 on $300 purchase. Looked at 3 round trip awards for the family.  The total came to 60,000 miles plus $33, but it gave me an offer of 30,000 miles plus $333.  Now if only I really wanted to use my AS miles and not Avios for that award ;)”
  • Take a look at that contest from yesterday’s post. It’s an explosion of winners…got a few more emails from people getting prizes!

A Contest You Guys Keep Winning

I’ve pretty much stopped posting contests here, but this one is exceptional. Not the contest itself…the fact that 7 different readers have let me know they’ve won something this week.

If a contest is worth playing, this might be the one. Starwood’s Open The World. Let me know if you’re a winner too!

Mean Gene

Reader Gene isn’t the greatest speller in the world. It’s all good, though. I appreciate his sometimes-hard-to-read messages. He sent me a couple of interesting tidbits yesterday. One good and one (potentially) bad…

The good? A link to match your airline, hotel, or car status and get Sixt Platinum.

The bad? Apparently, more changes at a certain big store I hate…the one with kiosks many of you regularly use. According to Gene, those kiosks might be going through a very unpleasant change this month. We shall see…

Buying Deadlines

It’s the last day to buy discounted Hilton, Hyatt, or IHG points. Not the cheapest way to increase balances, but depending on your situation, it could be the best option right now. This is also the last day to get bonus American miles from Starwood transfers.
