Alaska Award Sale

Happy Valentine’s Day, nerds…I love you guys!

(Unless, of course, you’re associated with bowtie, Boreding Area, The Points Guy, or any shrewd salesman-disguised-as-a-blogger website. In which case, I find you gross and wish you would go away)

But the rest of you I love.

It’s even more affection than I feel for horseradish sauce.

Not quite bacon level.

Visualize how much a pimp loves his cane.

It’s a lot like that.

In terms of deals, this award sale from Alaska is way better than the one from Delta yesterday. Not surprising at all. And I don’t know if I should put out a special bulletin, but there are JetBlue and Southwest sales today. Woah. THIS. IS. UNBELIEVABLE.

Aaaaand it’s probably a good time to dial down the sarcasm for now.

Seriously, I do appreciate you guys. Thank you for your kind words and affection throughout the year. It really does mean a lot to me. Hope you’re able to have a great time with your loved ones today!

Delta Award Sale

If booking with Delta by tomorrow, you can save miles on trips to Seattle or Portland. You’ll need to plug in some cities and dates to see what comes up. Unfortunately, I didn’t find much luck with the options I tried. Guess I was…

…barking up the dong tree.

Or maybe…just maybe…

…I took a dong turn along the way.

(Please accept my deepest apologies for those two puns)

Hawaii Fare Deals

If you’ve been thinking about a paid flight to Hawaii this year, it’s probably time to turn thinking into clicking. Good deals are being found from multiple cities to multiple islands on multiple airlines. Personally, I like using my Avios points for trips to Hawaii…but that usually requires a LOT of flexibility. I’m seeing some strong deals with this one. Worth checking out. Thanks to reader Colin for regularly reaching out with stuff like this.

Flower Deals

Thanks to reader Rob for sharing 2 more Valentine’s Day deals from 1-800-Flowers…

Get 1,750 Southwest points (or JetBlue miles) for spending $34.99 or more.

These links are probably the best of the bunch (bad pun intended), but you can see the other flower deals here. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Hotel Promos

Big thanks to reader Greg for sending these in:

  • Check your IHG Accelerate offers again. Some readers like Greg are seeing new stuff (such as 10,000 bonus points for a paid Kimpton night) that’s stackable with the old.
  • Here’s one from Hilton for a free fourth night. If you’re a fan of paradise.
  • Try plugging in your Starwood number here to see if you’re targeted for any offers. I was not. Blah.
