    Hotel Promotions Guide – September 2012 Edition

    Happy Friday, readers! This morning I want to feature a post by a fellow miles blogger, Ric over at Loyalty Traveler. Yesterday, Ric posted the most comprehensive post list or guide on current hotel promotions (sorted by hotel names) I’ve seen out on the blogs thus far. If you have travel plans coming up and are planning on taking up hotel accommodations, I would highly recommend you take a look at this promotion guide before booking. Hop on over to Ric’s blog entry for the Sept 2012 hotel promotions guide! While you’re…… (click read more!)

    Unlimited Flights on JetBlue for Your Dog or Cat for 2012 for only $299

    JetBlue sent me an interesting an email this Monday about a new program that they’ve released for JetPaws (the name of their program for flying your small dogs and cats with you). The promotion, aptly called “All Your Pet Can Jet,” is an unlimited travel pass for your pet for travel from September 7, 2012 till the end of the year (December 31, 2012) for only $299. Purchases must be made between 8/29 and 9/5/12 or while supplies last.

    Still Time to Score 10x Points for Back to School Purchases!

    Right now many of the online shopping malls, tied to popular airline programs and credit card programs, have back-to-school specials for purchases.

    What to Do When Denied for a Credit Card: Reconsideration Numbers

    Daraius, the owner of Million Mile Secrets, has traveled around the world and earned over a million miles through travel hacking and leveraging loyalty programs. His blog is popular and definitely no secret. I want to spend this Thursday morning featuring a great article he wrote last year about what to do when denied for a credit card. (It happens. Don’t panic: there are still ways to turn it around in your favor.) Rather than rewrite the post of a master miles enthusiast & traveler, I am just going to link…… (click read more!)

    Travel Hack: How to Get 5x Points on Everywhere (w/ Chase Ink cards)

    There are dozens of articles online featuring this same strategy, which only goes to show that this is a strategy that works and is worthwhile. Chase has an entire “Ink” credit and charge card line designed for businesses. These cards are by far some of the most profitable travel points program earning cards on the market now. They’re great for businesses (I use them for my small business), but there’s also a great strategy for regular consumers (who don’t own their own business) to sign up for these cards to…… (click read more!)
