What To Do With Grandpa’s 600k Membership Rewards? I have been telling my heir to first ask if miles can be transferred (without identifying me as the deceased), then, if not, just log into my account and use my miles to book a ticket for herself. But now, according to this article, that won't work, as airlines would get notified of my death.

• Intercontinental Hotels Group is my favorite lodging group. They have properties almost everywhere. How about 5 night's free lodging in Paris, for example. Or a free one night in the Intercontinal Hotel in Budapest with an absolutely spectacular view across the river. The numerous Holiday Inn Expresses and some of its other brands offer a free breakfast.

There is a 15,000 bonus points offer for acquiring this excellent 2% cash back card.

Passport safety strategies you need to know. Lots of good ideas here. I really like this one:

If you store your passport in the hotel safe, don’t forget it when you leave. How do you do that? Betsy Ball, a partner at Euro Travel Coach, always puts one of her shoes in the safe. “That way, when you are packing up, you’ll notice that one shoe is missing,” she says. “That will prompt you to get your shoe, and your passport and valuables, out of the safe and pack them up with your other belongings before moving on in your travels.”

I do a similar thing - I put my glasses, watch, and any other small thing I wear in my right shoe.

• Avianca (15% bonus through November 30, 2024)
• Air France/KLM (20% bonus through November 10, 2024)
• Asia Miles (Cathay Pacific and Dragonair) (20% bonus through November 10, 2024)
• Marriott Hotels (35% bonus through December 31, 2024)

• That $50,000 would earn $1212.50 if put in a Bask® Interest Savings Account. Even though it is taxable, that money would take you a lot farther than would the 10,000 miles.
• I keep $20 in my miles account, thus earning 2 miles month and automatically keeping my AA account active.

• Although Hilton properties rarely have any charm, I find them quite useful at arrival and departure cities. The tend to be comfortable, quite, and easy to access to and from airports. How about three free nights in expensive London, for example?

• Anyone can join Bilt for free which means that everyone who pays attention gets Hilton Gold.
• Hilton Gold is valuable for anyone staying at its properties. At least it gets you a food and beverage credit at U.S. hotels and breakfast at international properties.

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines Now Allow Free 1:1 Transfers

• Hopefully you already did the Amex to Hawaiian transfer with the bonus. You can still do it without the bonus. Eventually you will probably not be able to do it at all.
• I suggest getting a Hawaiian Air credit card with a good bonus now. Those bonus miles will become Alaska Air miles eventually.

These airlines are members of the oneworld alliance, meaning you can use your award miles to fly on a large number of airlines, including two of my favorites, American and Alaska Airlines. The miles you get from these three offers should get you to most anywhere in the world, and in comfort.
