How to Calculate Surcharges on Award Flights:  Finding award space when booking an award flight is such a rush!  The fun hater at this party is always the fuel surcharge you may have to pay.  Knowing what this would be ahead of time is very helpful.  This article highlights how to check how much you’d be paying in surcharges.

Earn Double Starpoints this Winter:  You can register now for Starwood’s “Great Weeks, Grand Weekends” promotion.  With Startpoints being so difficult to earn, this could be a good way to add to your balance.  If you have some upcoming Starwood stays, definitely register for this promotion.

Marriott’s MegaBonus Promotion:  Marriott has come out with a promotion of their own, which is very similar to the Starwood one mentioned above.  You can earn bonus points for weekday stays and earn even more for weekend stays.  Register for this if you haven’t done so already.

Hilton Overwater Bungalow for 76K Points/Night:  This is not just any overwater bungalow either.  This is in the Maldives at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island.  Usually award nights are 95K per night for a beach villa.  Now you can see availability for overwater bungalows for 95K too.  If you’re a Hilton elite, you could get your 5th night free, dropping your per night stay to 76K points!

Hilton “Points Unlimited” Promotion Now Open:  Register now for this promotion so that you can pad your Hilton points balance with your stays.  You can even earn points on award stays!  Eligible stays start on January 1, 2018 and end on April 30, 2018.

WOW Offering 50% Discounts:  WOW already has super low fares due to being a low cost carrier.  WOW still manages to bend the rules by offering major discounts from time to time.  WOW is currently offering 50% base fare for two days only.  You can find flights as low as $142 round trip to Iceland!!  Be sure to use the promo code listed in the article.

Hyatt’s New Strict Cancellation Policy:  Many of the big hotel chains have changed their cancellation policies and now Hyatt has jumped on board too.  They will now require flexible rates to be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance.
