Midweek Triple

  • Register for this great promo from Club Carlson and look at this 15% off deal from Travelocity today.
  • Here’s another temporary increase in cashback rates from Ebates. Not nearly as good as the one last month, unfortunately.
  • As MileNerd, I’ve called out a lot of people…and companies…and bloggers…on this website. What can I say, I feel pretty damn good about that. But every once in a while, something (or someone) is so exceptional that I get the warm and fuzzies and need to share it…

    If you’re ever in Seattle at the Grand Hyatt, I highly recommend reaching out to a manager named Pio Polintan if/when you need anything. A very special reader had issues there and this manager’s response was one of the best I’ve ever heard. I was planning to stay at the Olive 8 on my next Seattle trip…this one employee changed my mind.

Southwest Drink Coupons

Big thanks to reader Rebecca for giving away five Southwest drink coupons that expire on August 31st. If you want one, please send an email to the address below with the subject “Southwest Drink Coupon.” Blank emails are fine as long as they show up by Friday. I’ll pick 5 random winners and reach out to them over the weekend. As always, if you need to reach me for anything else, please don’t use the contest email address. Messages there don’t get read. Thanks!

Avis Deal

In the latest chapter of my dumbmentia, I meant to post this last Tuesday. Luckily, I’ve finally remembered (6 days later and after being reminded over the weekend). Anyway…

Avis has a pretty good promo where you can get $20 off with no minimum purchase. This one is probably best for those who need a one-day rental.

Airbnb Hosting Bonus

You guys have lots of love for Airbnb. I learned that from the emails that started pouring in as soon as I mentioned a possible customer service issue. If you’ve only stayed as a guest, here’s a $200 bonus for creating your first listing as a host. You’ll need a booking by the end of August. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Hyatt Card Change

Hyatt’s card has been near the top of my Top 25 list for a long time. Since it’s getting worse in a week (downgrading to a 40,000-point bonus), this is probably our last look at a 2-night offer. One of the few Chase cards that heavy churners can still get approved for. Worth considering in the next few days for some of us.
