Save 25% On JetBlue Award Tickets
A great, short-term promo that stacked with the American Express transfer bonus. A nice way to get some decent award flights at a redemption value of 1.5 cents per point or better.
Is This Early Registration Just TOO Early?
A lot of races have early registration rates. It is a nice way to attract runners early on in the process and bring in some money. Most of the early registration rates are for no more than one year in advance. This race? The early registration process for this is just ridiculous!

Good Deal on A Canon Camera With Lots of Points

Great Free Rental Promo From National
If you have read any of my posts on rental cars, you know that my (current) favorite when it comes to rental car loyalty programs is the National Emerald Club. They have some great perks (including additional drivers at no charge), with the best being the selection of cars that you get from the Aisle (better range of cars depending on your elite status). Now, they have launched their One Two Free program. This program allows you to receive one free rental day for every two qualifying rentals.
6 Of The Smallest Hotel Rooms In the World
If you ever walked into your room and got disappointed/frustrated/upset/angry about the size of the room, you may just need to take a step back and look at these rooms to gain a little perspective! Getting a nice suite as an upgrade at your hotel can be a really nice thing, but sometimes it is nice just to have a roof over your head. These hotels are very small but they are really something special as well.

How Often Does United Change Their Baggage Policy?
