This week I was on the ground and it was my favorite week of the year because I went up to Lawton, MI and picked up my grapes from Crowenwett Farms. I am using Noiret grapes this year for the first time and they look simply amazing and the sugar levels are off the charts. But enough about wine – let’s look at the week that was:
If you are paying for hotel rooms you are simply not doing it right (well other than with a Delta Amex card that gives you 100% credit back each year that is). There is a 175,000 point Hilton Honors Amex offer you really should consider.
Years ago, standing against all of the other bloggers in the world, I was one of THE biggest Delta “fan boys” shouting their value against all others. Now, in 2024 after IT meltdowns and the destruction of SkyMiles and Medallion value, they come out with lame targeted offers like these. Really Delta? Really?
The “real” Chicago Seminars is only a few weeks away. Chris is going as well as a packed list of the best folks in the points game. Do you have your tickets yet?
Delta is famous for operational reliability. Well, that is they were before the IT meltdown this year. They are also famous for transporting pro sports teams. This flight they delayed a pro NHL game due to maintenance.
Our Royal Caribbean fan boy MJ has his take on the RCI power plug controversy. Considering how few power outlets there are in a room you do need a splitter. Since the new ban went viral there have been some updates from the cruise line.
Starting next year you will be limited how many times you can visit a Delta Sky Club with credit cards but that has not stopped them from building more of them. The newest one is smack in the middle of a fortress American Airlines hub!
Lastly this week, in addition to paying for hotels with points, having flexible points that can be sent to partners is always a win-win situation. Take a look at this month’s big offers.
I hope you are having a great weekend and are making travel or cruise plans for this coming winter. I have 3 cruises booked already and looking to add a few more because I am a Frequent Floater! – René

In the sentence above “If you are paying for hotel rooms you are simply not doing it right (well other than with a Delta Amex card that gives you 100% credit back each year that is).” Which Delta AmEx card are you referring to that gives a 100% credit?
@Grant – Both Delta Gold and Platinum Amex cards offer yearly hotel credits booking via their site.
“up to $100 for gold card and $150 for platinum card”.
@Robert – The Delta Amex Business Platinum credit is $200 fyi.
Do you mean a regular AMEX Platinum card or one which has to be a Delta AMEX Platinum?
@evan – Both Delta Gold and Platinum Amex cards offer yearly hotel credits booking via their site.
