Leave a reply Good evening everyone, I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day Weekend. Last week, I wrote about my Summer plans to Europe , including stops in Dublin, Helsinki, and Stockholm. We are starting in Dublin and wanted to stay 4 nights at the Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin . The Hyatt Centric is centrally located and costs 18,000 Hyatt Points per night. Unfortunately, there was a small issue… the 4th night of our stay was completely sold out on points and cash. We booked the first 3 nights of the stay using a combination of Laura’s Hyatt Free Night Certificate and 36,000 Hyatt Points for the next 2 nights. I then set up hotel alerts for the last night of our stay in the hope that award availability would open up before our trip. Here is my underwhelming experience with MaxMyPoint, Awayz & StayWithPoints hotel award alerts.

Leave a reply Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 4 offers that end this week. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are the 4 offers that end soon. Up first, Air Canada is offering up to a 85% bonus , depending on the number of Air Canada Aeroplan Miles you purchase. This offer expires tomorrow – May 11.

Transfer Limits & Times for Wyndham Rewards to Caesars Rewards; No Taxes on Hotels Booked with Points Posted on May 7, 2024 by Grant . 22 Replies Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. I am planning a trip to Las Vegas in the coming weeks and wanted to stay on the Las Vegas Strip at a Caesars Rewards property since I can use my Caesars Diamond Elite Status to get waived resort fees and easy access to the $100 Celebration Dinner voucher. I am also planning on doing a few status matches to other casino programs and following the excellent guide created by Nick at Frequent Miler . I also did some research on Caesars Rewards redemption options and you can use Caesars Rewards Points to pay for your hotel booking (during the booking process) and also during the hotel check-out process. That lead me down the rabbit who to learn how the process worked and how long point transfers from Wyndham Rewards take to post to Caesars Rewards.
