It appears that the Southwest Companion Pass is safe…for now. Amazing that only a small percentage gets it with credit cards! Can you imagine doing it all…via actual flying? #gulp
You can book a Hyatt award stay even if you do not have all the points…if you are Diamond. Well, no gracias after they did not match me recently. You learn new things in this hobby every day.
Category 2 hotels in Hilton HHonors are just 10,000 points per night. And they could be a great value. Here are all of them in:
Europe, Middle East and Africa
Well, here is a company I never heard of: Magnises. They have benefits for Millenials. For $99 per month you get a bunch of bennies. Including staying at The Dream Hotel’s New York locations for $75 per night with its HotelPass feature. They also have ClubPass which costs $65 per month for guaranteed access to the most exclusive nightclubs in NYC. Hmm, very interesting concept. They have 12,000 members. Hope they don’t run out of funding money to…achieve break even at some point. #startups
Hey, you wanna buy a beach hotel in…Turkey? About 1,300 of them are going bust after the idiot in Turkey decided to mess with the Russians who are cutting them off. Now if the Greeks were smart they would be all over this to get them Russian tourists #developing
10 drop dead gorgeous indoor pools around the world. Lame blogger question: “Which one have you been in?” or “Which one is your favorite”. My answers : None and N/A

Just what Greece needs, more investment in a seasonal business, tourism. It’s time to diversity. Invest in manufacturing. Or go nuclear, invest in developing financial instruments!

Is Amex Walking Back Their Once Per Lifetime Policy?

On that Somalia Airliner Daallo Airlines with the hole in the side, it reminded me of this………….on Intl Flights out of places like Athens (old airport) and Cairo where there was concern over the security of the local cleaners and caterers, the F/A crew had an extra job before boarding. We would have to check not only every seat pocket but especially the area between the window seat and side wall. We were trained to look for plastic explosives most likely hidden in a cigarette pack pressed against the outer wall. Eventually they got bomb sniffing dogs to replace us.
Buzz make time to read Bengali Miles Guru over at Travel Codex today. Seems like he spent his day at Walmart with the Police and the IRS over a bunch of M.O.s………Didn’t get arrested but I bet he put an IRS bulls eye on himself…..Here is a tip..If you ever get an IRS audit, bring not only great records but gather all the young hyperactive, loud and annoying kids on your block and bring them with you.
That guy is a piece of work. Tahsir is wasting his talent and time on this crap he would make a great manager or business man in more traditional trades.

So, Frequent Miler just killed the giftcards.com portal deal. I swear, as much as bloggers kill deals, I hope their blogs get killed too. It’s ridiculous.
It’s a race to the bottom for affiliate dollars.
