Sweet Suites
Posted on August 9, 2008
If you relate with the headline of this post then you know the value of travel miles and points. I have had some wonderful upgrades using different hotels’ frequent stay reward programs. The photo above from my balcony at the Hotel Grande Bretagne is a perfect example of how working your points can turn a regular hotel room into a once in a lifetime experience. By the way, in case you can’t tell, that is the Acropolis in the background. Yes, definitely a sweet suite!
Then there are the airline miles and the car rental points to keep up with too. So how in the world do you manage all of these points and miles? Well, if you are a certified mile maven then you’re going to love this website tip, the USA Today MileTracker. Yes, I mentioned this a while back in a post called Balancing Act but there are some great updates coming soon to the program that warrant a re-post.
First let’s start with the basics, USA Today Online has a great desktop tool that stores all of your hotel and airline account numbers/account names and passwords. No more searching and surfing and forgetting passwords. You can set up just your accounts or the account numbers for you and all of your family members. Now, here is the new part.
Be on the lookout for the launch of the new WEB-BASED version of MileTracker. This new version will allow you to check your miles and points from any computer with Internet access. You won’t even need to re-enter your account information if you are a current MileTracker user. So, keep an eye on the USA Today MileTracker site for this exciting new update.
