Save 10% or More at Hyatt Hotels
Hyatt has introduced a number of discounts lately, and while I haven’t seen the need to detail each one individually, a limited-time promotion has motivated me to summarize them in this post. The net result is that no one should be paying full price to stay at a Hyatt hotel. Get a Membership Discount Don’t forget your AAA and Costco discounts., which normally save 10-20% and provide a more flexible cancellation … [Read more...]
New Costco Discount Offers 25% off Select Hyatt Hotels
I'm a big fan of Hyatt partly because I'm a Costco member, and using the discount code COSTCO regularly gets me a 10-20% discount that is both (1) refundable and (2) equal to or better than the pre-paid non-refundable rate. This makes it easier to check back and rebook if the price ever goes lower. Hyatt also has AAA discounts, but I need to fish out my membership number, and it doesn't work as often as COSTCO. I … [Read more...]

Travel Discounts in the 2013 Entertainment Book
I went to Costco yesterday, and though Megan kept me away from the giant box of Hot Pockets, we have a deal. She gets something she really wants, and I get something I really want. She got a Christmas wreath, which will make an awful mess that I will have to clean up. If you were following my tweets yesterday, don't worry, I did not buy the Almond Roca Cream wine. Nasty. No, I grabbed the latest edition of the … [Read more...]
$25 Back for Buying $100 Costco Gift Card with American Express
Turns out you can get $25 back from American Express for spending $100 at Costco. This program is through their Link-Like-Love program, meaning you need to sync an American Express credit card with Facebook or Twitter first and then register for the offer. But you can really make out big on this offer. You can register multiple American Express cards, and you can get your $25 statement credit by buying a $100 … [Read more...]
Who Wants American Airlines Gift Cards?
I made a run to Costco today to buy some American Airlines gift cards at 10% off. They're disappearing from shelves, and Costco is not restocking. My preferred stores nearby have already run out, and remaining stock is being consolidated in one store at least an hour drive roundtrip assuming the traffic isn't too bad, which it usually is. There are only 30-35 left in stock. Two of my Twitter followers asked if I'd … [Read more...]
Use Costco to Save in Las Vegas
I’m sure this Costco discount opportunity can be found in most locations, and it’s pretty simple. Pay $80 to get a $100 gift card for Vegas.com. This can be used for a variety of Las Vegas services, including air and hotel packages, hotel-only reservations, show tickets, and more. Vegas is incredibly expensive in my opinion for what you get. Where else do you pay $12 for a Bud Light or $180 for a show ticket (I would … [Read more...]
