There’s been quite a bit of buzz about T-Mobile unlimited international data roaming both in the miles/points world and in the mainstream media. Previously, I’ve talked before about using KnowRoaming, which is a pretty ingenious SIM-sticker which works internationally. KnowRoaming has pretty high rates for Asia ($0.31/mb for Japan) so I wasn’t really keen on paying that. Amol…
Singapore Airlines Business Class Award Space between Singapore and Christchurch
Back in December, Singapore Airlines removed all business class partner award space to Australia and New Zealand, only releasing them to partner airlines 14 days prior to departure. Singapore Airlines previously had good award availability on their new business class seats out of Singapore to/from Sydney, Auckland and Christchurch, as well as new regional business class…
Hyatt 40% Bonus Points Purchase Promotion (Targeted)
I love Hyatt, and I’ve had a fairly enjoyable experience with them since I completed a Diamond Challenge with them. Even with their devaluation, I feel their points are fairly valuable because top-tier hotels are still adequately priced (unlike Starwood, Marriott, and Hilton) and their points and cash rates are very attractive. Hyatt is currently…
Check Hotel WiFi Speed Online
I’m probably one of the most connected people when travelling, and one of my biggest concerns about hotels is having slow internet speeds. I’m not the person that actively checks wifi speaks nor actively avoid hotels for wifi speeds, but it is nice having fast speeds. Usually, I don’t pay for wifi anyways because I…
Thoughts on the Hyatt Diamond Challenge
Hyatt Diamond is one of the best hotel elite top-tier statuses, in my opinion. I completed a Hyatt Diamond challenge with them last month, which requires 12 qualifying nights within a 60 day period. Originally, a friend had transferred some points before the devaluation which I intended to use at the Category 6 Park Hyatts before the…

While it doesn’t even have a signup bonus, it offers one of the greatest returns on certain categories of spending. Highlights of the Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite The Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite card…
Find out your Uber Passenger Rating
Update: Unfortunately Uber has fixed the glitch. You may still be able to find your rating if you talk to a driver (who will see your rating). One of the apps I carry on my phone and use quite frequently when I’m travelling is Uber. For those of you who don’t know, Uber is a…

EVA Award Space now bookable with Aeroplan
Aeroplan has had problems booking EVA Air award space for the past few weeks, which was a major source of frustration for many members, as they had excellent fuel surcharge free transpacific award space access. Availability is now back online and bookable by the phone on aeroplan.com for all routes, including transpacific and intra-Asia flights.
Starwood Targeted Promotion for Free Nights/Points
Starwood has been sending out targeted offers for free nights and/or points, which I find incredibly lucrative for those targeted yet penalizing on non-targeted members. Starwood Exclusive Rewards Promotion I received this in an SPG email for one of the accounts I manage. That led me to the Exclusive Rewards Promotion website. Loyalty Lobby says…
