November 17, 2012
I got so wrapped up in my three posts yesterday that I forgot about Free Giveaway Friday!
Check them out if you didn't already:
Buying Priority Club points earns a 50% bonus. Buy them now to prepare for $35 hotel rooms.
Iberia is offering 25% off awards to Europe through the end of May. Good weather and cheap awards is unbeatable.

Today Only 40% Off Southwest Flights through February 12
November 16, 2012
Today only, Southwest is offering 40% off roundtrip flights flown between 12/11/12 and 2/12/13 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
That's a massive savings if you can take advantage. Unfortunately I literally need a flight for February 13, the day after the promo period. Alanis Morisette would probably call that "ironic" since she doesn't know what that word means.
The deals are pretty incredible.
Here's a transcon for $221.

Iberia 25% Off Transatlantic Awards and Low Surcharges
November 16, 2012
British Airways is offering a 25% discount on its longhaul awards--flown by BA or Iberia. That would be great except British Airways charges humungous surcharges that make any redemptions an awful deal in my mind. To wit, British Airways business class from New York to London:
As the screen shot indicates, this is normally a 40,000 Avios award, so there is a 10,000 Avios, or 25%, discount. But the taxes and fees of $438 oneway make this an award I would not purchase.
Save 5,000 Ultimate Rewards Right Now
November 16, 2012
Priority Club is running a promotion during which they are giving a 50% bonus on purchased points (AKA a 33% reduction in the price of points.) Right now you can buy 4,000 Priority Club points for the normal price of $54 and receive 2,000 points free for a total of 6,000 points.
This sale is noteworthy for planning purposes. Priority Club interests me for exactly one reason. Every two months they release a PointBreaks list of hotels that are available for 5,000 points per night.
I’m Moving to Argentina
November 15, 2012
On February 19, 2013, I am moving to Argentina. This will not negatively impact the blog.
In July, my law school buddy called me while I was in Hawaii. He told me that when his Judge Advocate General (JAG) commitment ended at the end of the year, he was moving to Buenos Aires.
That sounded like a heck of a plan. For the last nine years--since I first left North America--I've wanted to live abroad at some point.
