Check out my post earlier today on how to cut call center hold times by avoiding having to listen to hold music by using gethuman!

United is again having a sale on award miles at 40% off, which makes one mile at 2.26 cpm if you purchase the more than 25,000 miles. This is until June 30th. However I would suggest in nearly all cases that is not the lowest price to get miles, which I say is 2.1 cents. To do that, please check this post. 

Uber is also giving away $35 dollars in free credit. Get it here at Gilt City – it ends on the 29th at noon.

Signup up using a referral link (here is mine) and get $10 dollars towards your first ride.

There is a very high ($75) surcharge in Vancouver so it’s basically useless, but I tried it while I was in Toronto and it was great. I highly recommend this when it’s pouring rain, you have no umbrella, and there aren’t any taxis.

Mr. Pickles talks about how to get airport hotels cheaper with distressed traveller certificates from United when you get delayed. Go to apaglobal.com, enter the code JSTRK and the city code.

Then the hotel rates are not bad, and in some cases they are worth mattress running on!
