![]() ![]() I’m heading out on a trip that I wouldn’t have believed was in my budget, if you had talked to me before I started getting into miles and points. The kinds of trips that you would probably never take without the ability to get so much of it for “free” using miles and points. While miles and points are great for big and fancy trips, I also love them for small random trips. This hotel USED to be a Category 1 hotel at 5,000 points / night, which would have made this even more of a screaming deal! The Bottom Line It’s 8,000 points a night (24,000 points total), netting a cool 3.39 cents per point in value. The cash cost for the 3 nights is $812.50 Using hotel points when there are large sporting events can be a great use of your points, as we’ve talked about many times here on the site. Rental car using cash but I have Autoslash ready to save the day.9K web saver award on American to fly back.A cheap Southwest flight on points using the 40% off sale they had a few weeks ago.Taking the Trip Thanks To Miles And PointsĪnd the trip is done for “free”, mostly due to miles and points UC is ranked a bit higher in the preseason polls, but it’s a home game for BYU. That’s fine with me – I can handle some competition. (Except he wouldn’t be rooting for Cincinnati). I floated the idea of another trip to my son and he said that sounded fun. Reviewing the calendar for September, I saw that UC is planning on playing out at BYU at the end of September. My son is home for the summer but planning on heading back out to Utah in the fall. Unfortunately the game’s result was not as great (for my side) but it was still an epic trip made possible nearly entirely by miles and points Miles And Points Trip For Football in September? As of Fall Semester 2018, the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) reported. The academic calendar for the Washington College of Law (WCL) of American University varies from. The last week of the fall and spring semesters is set aside for final examinations. We had great seats right behind the UC bench and I even got the pleasure of being booed by 6,000+ people in an arena when they showed me (and my red UC t-shirt) on the jumbotron :-). On July 1, 2008, UVSC changed to UVU, officially changing to a university. The academic calendar is divided into fall and spring semesters of approximately 15 weeks each and summer sessions of varying length. My son is out at college in Utah so it was a nice double purpose trip. If you’re a REAL DEVOTED reader of PWaC, you might recall that I took a similar trip back in March, when my alma mater played Utah Valley University in Orem in the basketball NIT. Last week I decided to book another random trip to Utah to watch my alma mater (the University of Cincinnati) play a sportsball game. Oh – a play we wanted to see is in Chicago this weekend? Let’s go! Time to visit more counties? Let’s book 5 random hotels in the middle of nowhere (on points). I do enjoy reading about (and TAKING!) elaborate trips around the world, but to me one of the true joys of miles and points is making “random” trips much more feasible. I know that I’m not the only one, since many others have shared their experiences as well. There are a lot of different ways that miles and points have helped my family and I travel. ![]()
