What Year were you born? That’s what you pay at SPG Hotels

WHAT: Stay a night at any participating Starwood Hotel and get the 2nd and 3rd night for the “$ year you were born”. This especially works out well for older folks.

KNOW: If your born in 1970, you’ll pay $70 for the 2nd and 3rd nights. 1st night is full price. My parents were born in 47′ so they’re especially lucky this time 😛

Expires: Dec 31st, 2013

NOTE: Not every deal will work for everyone. If it’s not a match, just delete it and wait for the next. Point accumulation works but it takes some time.

American Airlines 50% Buy-Miles Bonus

WHAT: This is a promotion for buying miles from American Airlines. To take full advantage of this offer, one would have to buy 60,000 miles (90,000 with the bonus of 30,000 points) for roughly $1800. This is 2 cents per mile/point. If you were to use the 90,000 points for 3 round-trip USA/Canada flights, you would just break even in most cases. BUT if your thinking of taking a business-class award trip to Europe (100,000 miles needed), it is very-much worth it. The cost of this trip would be over $8000 but you would essentially be getting it for under $2000. This is where point-purchasing comes in handy. 

KNOW: Travel hacking at its finest. BUT I would only buy points if my purpose was at mentioned above. Business-class flight to Europe (or overseas). Do your math first and then decide.

Expires: Feb 28, 2013. If this is not in the plans right now, no worries. These deals pop-up throughout the year!

Special Note for Unlimited Expedia $50 Credits

WHAT: For those of you who have read about the $50 Expedia credits in the tutorials, DO NOT use a TD Credit card when booking the hotels. It automatically defaults to ExpediaforTD.ca which is not a part of the Best Price Guarantee.

KNOW: A Free Flyer member found this out and had to go through some trouble in getting a refund on the hotel and the $50 credit. It’s odd for sure but luckily, he has shared that with us.
