Hopefully you’ve enjoyed my trip report to SE Asia so far, although thus far it’s only been the two flights. I have to apologize for how long it’s taking me to post it, I’ve had a really busy month in the ER lately, so I guess that’s a reasonable excuse. BTW, I should’ve mentioned this…
A thread on Flyertalk caught my eye the other day and I thought you may be interested. It seems that Marriotts are now enforcing the actual rules when it comes to allowing customers to use the Federal Government rate. It’s not that people with no association to the military are trying to use that discounted…
I’ve written before about Travelpony, which is kind of a social media hotel discount website. I’ve used it twice, once at JFK and once in Hong Kong, getting deep discounts through a combination of an already discounted price and promotional credits. They’re now offering a $35 credit to new users through the end of the…
Alright guys, I’ve gotten a couple emails asking for referrals for free stuff (I know you love your free stuff!), and there are a couple of these promos ending soon, so I figured I’d put them out there. Full disclosure, I get referral bonuses for many of these, so if you don’t want to use…

Everyone should know by now that IHG ( the Holiday Inn chain) are managing many of the Army temporary quarters facilities (Army vernacular for a hotel). We wrote about it a couple of years ago and the number of these hotels of posts has slowly, but steadily, grown to 39. IHG is a great hotel…
Via Pearls of Travel Wisdom, eligible veterans can receive up to 100,000 HHonors points per year for stays while job-searching, for training, or for relocation. Here in PA, eligibility opened up on November 3rd (article here). This unfortunately is not offered in all states, but it would be worthwhile to check and see if your…
I guess with a name like American Airlines, you should be the airline that supports our veterans more than most. American Airlines always shows their patriotism this time of year. They have several very cool veterans events and offer you the opportunity to get some extra RDM through donations to the USO. American is the…
Something that has become a tradition in the three years we have written this blog is to advertise the Veterans’ Day deals that you can get every year. Here is this year’s list. Some discounts or freebies are only on Veterans’ Day and some are for the whole weekend. Hope you have a chance to…
