Just about everyone in “points land” I know is hanging out at the annual Chicago Seminars this weekend. I am just home after missing this year because I spent the past two-ish weeks doing home remodeling for my mom-in-law (yeah travel is much more fun). But enough about me let’s look at what else went on:
The only reason that so many different credit cards have become what some term “coupon books” to give you value for the high yearly fees is because some choose not to take advantage of them and thus the banks make more money off them. One card is making is harder to get the credits than before.
When I was last on Holland America (for the first time) I wore to formal nights jeans and a Hawaiian shirt. It was 100% fine with HAL but some readers were critical of me for my dress choice. When it comes to Norwegian they have a concept called the HAVEN where everyone is a suite guest. Should you “dress up” when dining at the HAVEN restaurant? What about specialty restaurants? Find out!
If you read the blog every day you may get sick of hearing this but it is so important to know – the best time to apply for new travel cards is when they have HUGE new card offers. That time is now as you can take a look at an offer for one of my hands down favorite travel points for 99,000 that yields outsized travel value.
My wife and I almost always vacation together. However, a few years ago we spent two years as caregivers for my mom. She could not be left alone for any time at all for most of those two years. There were times my wife “got away” for some days on her own. I would have been upset if a bartender did this to her. Do you agree?
Our Frequent Floater MJ covers Royal Caribbean and tells us: “Perfect Day Mexico is the next stop for Royal Caribbean’s perfect island vacations.” I love cruise lines private islands and look forward to checking this one out as well.
Lastly, one of simply the best no-annual-fee cash rewards cards has been refreshed. During the pandemic year I went just 100% all in on cash back. Now I am back to my focus on points but there is still a place in my heart for sweet cash back offers. Take a look.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone. For me I am hoping this mild weather holds for a bit longer for more time to golf before winter and cruise time arrives for me! – Rene
