From an historic hotel’s renovations, to a fun way to get priority boarding, here are some stories we saw this week that we thought were interesting. We hope you will, too:
- Important news first. Are you geeking out over Star Wars this week (more than normal) like Joe is? Then you might want to check out these multi-day vacations to filming sites from the movies. Thanks to Bald Thoughts for the link!
There are several articles that talked about Christmas this week:
- The Points Guy showed cities around the world with the most extravagant Christmas light displays.
- Want to know how to get priority boarding by wearing your ugly Christmas sweater? One Mile at a Time can tell you!
- Travel and Leisure wrote about how the entire country of New Zealand has an official Secret Santa program.
And in the non-holiday category…
- Read Doctor of Credit to find out how you can get two entries a day into the Starbucks for Life promotion (Joe’s been doing this daily).
- Speaking up about problems might get you some extra points or miles and Million Miles Secrets shared a story about that.
- Joe had the same problem as Frequent Miler with the current AMEX offer with Google Express but he found a solution.
- Loyalty Lobby wrote about the renovations to the Waldorf=Astoria in New York. It’s been closed for almost a year (right after our visit in early 2016) and they are finally ready to start.
- Delta/Air France/KLM has new luggage-less transatlantic fares, as per View From The Wing.
- Deals We Like reported that JetBlue is making big changes to their refund and stand-by policies and they’re not to to the customers’ benefit.
