While much is written on getting airline points, hotel points can be just as valuable to you and your wallet. Honestly, I think more is written about airline points just because they are easier to get. They have better CC deals, you get a bunch every time you fly, etc., but think of it in…
Ironically, people focus primarily on airlines miles, but typically you will spend more on a hotel room than your airfare when on a trip. Think about it- what does an airfare cost-$400 to $500? That’s the same cost as 2-3 nights in a typical hotel (and one night in some hotels)! Obviously, the math depends…
(by Andy) I had to go to Chicago in April for Emergency Medicine boards, and decided to try out some different hotels. One of the ones I’d read about was the Waldorf Astoria Chicago. I knew my per diem wouldn’t cover it, so I booked it on a points & money rate, which fortunately was available,…
(This is Andy) After our awesome but rain-soaked trip to Vietnam, we decided to go to our favorite city in the world, Hong Kong. Mostly we went because we love the ambiance, food and people, and have some friends there, but also because I had two free nights from the Citi Hilton Reserve that were…
As I said before, when we arrived in Hanoi, off of a lovely Vietnam Airlines flight, we were greeted with much colder weather than we’d anticipated…42 DEGREES!!! Yes it was cold.

Lots in the news lately about Marriott trying to acquire Starwood and now a Chinese company coming in to steal them away with a better offer. I have witnessed a lot of industries merge and when one pair does it to get larger all the others feel they need to merge to get equally large…
Hey gang, I’m going on deployment soon, so this will be my last post for a while (this is Andy btw). I wanted to go over how to get some free points on your Credit cards if you’re in a rut. With many bloggers declaring the end of manufactured spending, which it truly is, credit…
Sorry for the break in the story. Work and shoveling snow got in the way. Anyway, back to our tale of going D.C. to Maui for a long weekend mileage run on Alaska. I got a deal on the Marriott at Wailea and I’ll explain how the hotel was and how I scored that deal….
Our biggest goal here at Military Frequent Flyer is to give our fellow servicemembers advice on how to travel better and more frequently. I received an email from a young Air Force SSgt Francisco, who himself is a frequent blogger and quite a prolific traveler, moreso than I am. I offered a guest post, so…
