Hotel Review: Tru by Hilton Hotel Sterling Heights, MI
The one thing I like about Hilton is they have a bunch of interesting properties. They’re trying to build a local presence with a lot of their brands, one of which is Tru hotels by Hilton. It’s a very millennial focused hotel with a cool, hip vibe. Everyone wears T-Shirts as their uniform, there are bold, loud colors, and a unique work/play space. The Public Space As you enter the property...

Want Marriott Ambassador Status? Don’t redeem your points…
The recent merger between Starwood and Marriott has been… less than perfect. There have been technical issues, account merger issues, booking issues, and about any other issue you can think of. Elite status and elite benefits across both programs weren’t showing properly, nights weren’t adding up, and stays weren’t showing. It would seem that largely that has been taken care of, and things seem to be running...
How many miles can you earn as an Alaska Airlines MVP Elite Member?
Loyalty programs drive loyalty, plain and simple. Earning miles is the airline’s way to give you a little something back for you giving them a bunch of money. American, Delta, and United have all changed to a cost based loyalty program, meaning the more you spend the more you earn. Alaska Airlines is still the only airline that awards you one mile for every mile you fly, and that creates some unique opportunities to earn a lot...
Hotel Review: Element Bozeman
As the only Starwood hotel in the entire state of Montana, the Element Bozeman is a bit of an oddity. Element, being an extended stay property, is smack in downtown Bozeman, MT. It also commands a bit of a premium price during the summer. Bozeman is a perfect starting or stopping point for a trek down to Yellowstone. The hotel is situated just a quick 10 minutes from the airport, so as soon as we arrived and picked up our rental car,...
Alaska Airlines offering big discounts with Winter Getaway Sale
Alaska Airlines runs fairly frequent airfare sales, and today’s sale is no different. This one does provide some exceptional value, especially for those who are able to take some short-haul flights or maybe are even considering some end of 2018 or early 2019 mileage running. Fares start at $49 one way. Here’s some sample fares. Great mileage run fares are bolded: Seattle San Francisco $55 San Diego $69 Dallas, Milwaukee,...
Buy or Lease a Mini Cooper and get 25,000 Alaska Airlines Miles
Two days ago we wore about the Alaska Airlines ReachNow partnership, a fun new way to earn miles while taking ReachNow around Seattle and Portland. Now, BWM/Mini has a special offer for new owners of a Mini Cooper. You can earn a 25,000 mile bonus just for purchasing your Mini Cooper. Buy or lease a new MINI at participating dealers in Alaska, Washington, Oregon or California by December 31st and earn 25k miles with Alaska Airlines...
Earn Alaska Airlines miles with ReachNow
I love it when airlines look for new ways to reward their members on the ground and help them earn miles. Alaska Airlines has partnered with the car share company ReachNow to grant precious Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles for each rental. What is ReachNow I suppose we should start with a quick rundown of ReachNow. If you’re not familiar, it’s a car share service that uses BWM and Mini vehicles and is a fairly typical...
Why do we fart so much on planes?
As the old adage goes, he who smelt it, dealt it. The problem is that on most of the planes, there are dozens of people dealing it at the same time. Turns out there’s a real reason for it, and it’s not just the crummy airplane food. I’m sitting in a first class cabin on Alaska Airlines writing this right now and there’s a very common smell wafting around...
