Travel Tuesday: Redeeming My First MyVegas Reward IRL
Welcome back to another Travel Tuesday as I continue my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. As we were waiting for our post-vaccination trip to begin last month, you may recall that I wrote a post detailing how I was living vicariously through a set of apps called MyVegas.

Travel Tuesday: Luxor Remodeled Pyramid Room (and Tower Room) Hotel Review
When my wife and I both reached fully vaccinated status, we knew exactly what we wanted to do next: head to Las Vegas. Sure enough, that’s what we did this past week (just ahead of everyone else doing the same thing, apparently), checking out several hotels in the process. Those reviews will be coming in…

Travel Tuesday: The Top International Places I Want to Visit ASAP
With last Friday marking two weeks since I received my COVID jab, I am now officially fully vaccinated!

Travel Tuesday: You Can Now Earn Marriott Bonvoy Points Via Uber
As any travel hacker, points enthusiast, or coupon clipper knows, there’s no feeling quite as great as pulling off a “double-dip.” Sure, earning one form of reward for a purchase or saving a few dollars on said purchase is nice — but it’s even better when you employ multiple tools and/or offers to further enhance…

Travel Tuesday: My Two Cents on the CDC’s Latest Travel Guidance
If you consume much news, the past few weeks have been a bit conflicting in terms of the COVID-19 situation. On the one hand, vaccine roll-outs continue to expand — and, as I write this, President Biden has even moved up the date for when every American will be eligible — yet, on the other…

Travel Tuesday: You Can Now Help People Get Vaccinated While Earning Travel Rewards
There’s no question that many pent-up travelers have seen the continued vaccine roll-out as the key to returning to the skies (and roads). In fact, the term “vaccine passport” has often been used as airlines and other businesses weigh requiring passengers/customers to have their shots. Now, the link between travel and inoculation is once again…

Travel Tuesday: Disneyland’s Dilemma — To Reopen or Not to Reopen Next Month?
On March 14th, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will have officially been closed to the public for a full year. Like many closures that coincided with the early days of the pandemic reaching the United States, the parks were originally only announced to be closed through “the end of the month.” Later, Disney stated…

Travel Tuesday: Living Vicariously Through myVegas
As is well documented on this site, I have a major soft spot for Las Vegas. Despite not drinking and rarely gambling (save a trip last year when my friend bankrolled me to play blackjack with him), I’ve always enjoyed walking The Strip and exploring the numerous hotels and casinos along the way. Incidentally, since…

Travel Tuesday: Southwest Cards Are Including Companion Pass in Their Sign-Up Bonuses (For a Limited Time)
Sometimes the universe loves me. As I was brainstorming on what to write about this week, some very interesting news came across my desk: Southwest is now allowing customers to earn a Companion Pass as part of the sign-up bonus on their co-branded credit card line-up. In other words, for a limited time, you can…

Travel Tuesday: V2 (Hotel Vandivort) Hotel Review
It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been a couple of months since I enjoyed my first stay at Springfield, Missouri’s very own Hotel Vandivort. Since reviewing my experience last year, I’ve been waiting to make a return to this unique property and hopefully check out some of their other offerings. Well, the opportunity to…
