#WeekendWanderlust #Travel Chat Q6: Which do you focus on: Airline miles or hotel points? What’s your strategy for maxing them out?

#WeekendWanderlust A6: We focus on airlines & hotels. Strategy is simple: Pick a favorite and stay/fly as often as possible! We chose @MarriottBonvoy because they’re pretty much everywhere, and @AmericanAir because we live in a hub city. #travel

#WeekendWanderlust A7: This is the one time we’ll recommend chain restaurants. They have loyalty programs too, and can help stretch your #travel budget. We also use @OpenTable and get points for reservations we can use to dine with. https://t.co/yj99cGfG0l

#WeekendWanderlust A8: Our top #travelhack is really basic: Use every point earning opportunity you can find! Sign up for Dining Rewards, shop from their “mall” online & get the extra mile by paying with a points-bearing card. It all adds up to free #travel & upgrades!
