Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Gosh yes.

The cards for hubby's account arrived this morning. I've already put return flights to Costa Rica, 3 nights accommodation, and 1 global entry on the card. Not going to have any problems...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I've just booked 4 nights at the Andaz in Costa Rica, I used 2 free nights from my Hyatt credit card signup, and 30,000 points that I'd earned from staying in Kauai last month. Room rate is $800 per...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Anyone else applying for the new Sapphire Reserve card? The annual fee of $450 seems steep, until you factor in the $300 credit.

Hubby applied and approved, card will be here in a few days

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Ah, that's why. I'm looking for 3 seats. Thank you so much for your help. I can't believe how difficult and frustrating the BA site is, everyone else's seems so much easier.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks, yes that's what I'm doing, but no availability, and no way to look at a calendar to see when there is availability, so you've just got to keep randomly guessing dates?

What date did you...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I'm obviously being really thick here. But how do I book online at alaskaair, with my BA points? I thought I had to call up to use Alaska, and why would I call Alaska to use BA points, to fly with...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

I'm just looking for ideas at the moment, and costs. So don't want to call. Literally every search I enter comes up with 'no flights available' and the calendar to show available dates never works....

I must be doing something wrong, but no matter what I do, I can't find any partner flights on BA's website.

I'm logging in on BA, going to Spend Avios, tried numerous dates in January and...

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks for posting this. Just applied and card was approved. We're looking at buying a new car at the moment. Might just chuck it on here to get the bonus points immediately, then pay the card off.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks, I meant I wouldn't know if the July trip was possible until June, picking up reward seats, or even cheap seats one month out won't be possible.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks for that.

Due to other factors this trip is now looking dead in the water, well until June next year, when I have no chance of getting any reward flights :( Bloody kids.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks, that was really helpful, I was only searching on round trips or multi destination before.

By searching one way, there is a great flight from San Jose to London for 48,750 miles and $770,...

That's a good idea, thanks. I was actually looking at train fares in Europe yesterday, as we are thinking of going to Florence instead of Barcelona. I'm now favoring Florence, as we can get the...

I have the same problem. Been trying for at least 2 years to find flights, but being tied to school holidays it's just impossible.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Hardly a great deal, but we needed a hotel in Santa Rosa for 1 night in a couple of weeks.

I couldn't get a good Travel Agent discount, so was looking at $200, so used some Avios miles for it...

I decided to go for the Chase offer. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Shopping portals

What do you think to the changes with the Hyatt reward program Tonrob? I was thinking of signing up for their Credit Card, but got an email yesterday with lots of changes to their program.

Re: Traveling cheaply and well using miles and points

Thanks Tonrob, I'll look at this in detail over the weekend. I have a feeling we'll end up letting it expire as there are no reward flights to London over the summer holidays.
