Best Citi Premier Offer, 50K Southwest Plus Offer, 5 Reasons To Love Alaska Airlines, & More!

This has been a bit slower of a week for me. A lot of things going on have made it difficult to keep my normal routine but this week should be better!

Good luck to all the Boston Marathon runners! Watch and track them here!

On the travel front, I switched some plans up a bit for our upcoming 10th anniversary trip – but still holding the original reservations as well (love that points give that flexibility). I have to wait to see what happens with another little thing that I may use some points on this week. If it works out, it will make for a fantastic redemption and some fun for some people in my family! 🙂
