Southwest Airlines: Two free ticket awards in hand, and two points required for a third! This was a great month for accumulating Southwest Rapid Rewards. I flew twice within the state of California. Southwest was running two different Rapid Rewards specials, and I was able to take advantage of both. The first was "catch a flight to or from California, receive double credit." I received four miles for each of my flights. The other special was "fly 3, get 1 free." For three flights within the state of California between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28 they awarded an extra free flight. I flew once in January, and twice in February, satisfying the "fly 3" requirement.
My Points: 4,379 points. I redeemed 3,250 points for a $25 Olive Garden gift card. These are the little ways we are able to stay within our $20 a day food budget and still go out to eat.
Hilton Honors: 232,100 points. We also earned 10,000 for our recent stay at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club in Orlando that have not yet been credited. So, technically, we have earned the 240,000 we were hoping to cover most of our lodging for our honeymoon next year.
MBNA America World Points: 25,543 points. No change from last month.
Discover Cash Back Bonus: $57.80. I'm trying to decide what I want to use this on, shopping (Banana Republic, Bed Bath & Beyond) or Dining (Buca Di Peppo, Black Angus)
It's so nice to have you do all of the research for us. It makes our decision making so much easier!! Thanks.
