Booked a Southwest flight for $150 during a promo, and about 3 hours before departure I get an email offering $400 in travel credit if I’m willing to switch to another flight. I’m not taking it, but I was genuinely curious why they’d do this so close to departure. Seems wild to...

Staying at a Holiday Inn right now and when I logged into the wifi I got the IHG 5 free nights offer. This version caps the free nights at 40k points each, so 200k total. I could’ve sworn the last time I saw this promo it was capped at 60k per night. Not sure if I’m...

Heading to Turkey in May 2026 and want to fly business or first without spending too much cash. I’ve got about 90k Amex Platinum points, 30k United miles, and 35k Chase Sapphire Preferred points. What’s the smartest way to combine or transfer these? Any sweet spots or airline...

I was pricing premium economy to London and almost gave up. The jump from economy was painful, so I randomly checked what an upgrade would cost using Amex points. Turns out Amex has this international travel feature where certain premium economy, business, and even first class...

Frontier just dropped a promo where you can snag Elite Gold with only two paid round trips (booked Dec 2–9, travel by Mar 11). Spend needs to hit $300 total, which honestly isn’t hard once you add Frontier’s usual fees. Status is good through Dec 2026. If you do three more...

Got an email saying Discount Den enrollment is 0 dollars from Nov 15 to 17. But it says the 40 dollar enrollment fee is waived, not the 59 dollar yearly fee. I remember people here saying they snagged it totally free a while back, so I’m guessing this isn’t the same thing. Looks...

Booked a prepaid two-night Kimpton through Amex for about 405 bucks total. Between the 100 hotel credit and the 300 statement credit, plus no pet fee, it feels like I basically paid nothing. Everyone always talks about how pricey FHR/THC is, so now I’m wondering if I missed...

Booked Spokane–Seattle roundtrip through Hawaiian back in August on Alaska flights. Saw a sale email yesterday and noticed the same flights were $100 cheaper, so I called Hawaiian to ask about rebooking. They said I couldn’t get the fare difference back, but when I asked about...

Looks like Hilton’s quietly lowering award rates at a few properties after last month’s devaluation. Finally something going in the right direction. I’ve noticed a couple spots cheaper again, though the new peak/off-peak setup is still a bit confusing.

Just saw Alaska charging $327 for December flights SEA to LAX. Feels wild I remember when West Coast hops were $89 each way. Not sure if I should wait it out for a sale or just book now before it gets worse. Anyone else noticing the same spike?

Saw this Slate piece about how we’ve all gotten used to the “pay for everything” model in air travel. I think anyone who flies ULCCs like Frontier already knows the deal but legacy flyers might still be shocked. Used my GoWild pass yesterday to pop over to Vegas for $15 each...
