replying to @byland_and_sea @byland_and_sea @OpenTable Look for restaurants that offer points. There are usually quite a few 100 point tables, sometimes even 1000 points. :) But it's not every restaurant. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A9: Best flight we’ve taken on points was Biz Class on @BritishAirways from NYC to ORY. Best way to fly international, for sure! Watch for SuperSavers when spending those miles, too. #travel

replying to @WorldTravelWM @WorldTravelWM @WWTravelChat Being nice to staff certainly pays off. I can't tell you how many times that has gotten me an upgrade :)

replying to @epicureanexpats @epicureanexpats @Solomomtravel I love Emirates - they have great customer service #weekendwanderlust

replying to @curiouslyerin1 @curiouslyerin1 One thing I haven't seen mentioned is partner airlines. I like @AmericanAir because of the One World Alliance - I can fly @BritishAirways, @Qantas, Cathay Pacific - points cross over, so it's a win-win. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A9: family trip to LA/Disney Land last year (5 people for 4 nights). Paid only for taxes and food. Everything else was paid for using points and miles.

replying to @nadiampodolsky @nadiampodolsky @WWTravelChat Our favorite lately is using the shopping portal to order, then pick up in store to save shipping. Pay with a points card, and bam - we're ballin'! ;) #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A10: Hands down, staying at the fabulous & historic @Royal_Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach #Hawaii (aka: The Pink Palace of the Pacific) on points was the perfect point splurge! It's one of our favorite #travel memories.

replying to @WorldTravelWM @WorldTravelWM @WWTravelChat That's true! It pays to do the math. Our favorite trick is to use the math to our benefit. Booking cheap rooms, then spending points on luxe hotels. :) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat Tokyo and Hong Kong are on my bucket list. Maybe with a stay at the Park Hyatt in the Shinjuku district in Tokyo. Dying to take in the food scene in both cities

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @ABritSoutherner @louisbink Isn't that the truth? We got $600 offers each, both ways RT DFW to NYC. But we had a timetable and others we were flying with. Killin' me! #WeekendWanderlust
