TripAlertz.com is a private community of more than 10 million travelers worldwide, with member-only discounts on hotels and resorts of 20 to 67 percent off the leading public hotel sites. TripAlertz serves the custom needs of hotel partners by filling empty rooms in weaker occupancy periods, yet does not require “last-minute” booking to realize these great savings.

Yesterday’s Winner of the 10 one time use Wi-Fi passes from Gogo is Scott at milevalue with Roundtrip business class to Europe for $1,366 plus taxes on Star Alliance carriers buy purchasing 100k TACA LifeMiles. The first 40k are bought via this month’s 100% bonus for $600 for 20k and 20k free. The last 60k are bought by purchasing the ticket with the cash-and-miles option. This trick can be used to purchase any award on TACA’s chart (https://www.lifemiles.com/eng/inc/starredawards.aspx) for 1.37 cents per miles plus taxes and fees (no fuel surcharges, yes oneway awards). I am partial to the roundtrip biz to Europe, but there are other great deals like Hawaii in economy for under $600 roundtrip from anywhere in the continental US including your tiny east coast regional airport.. Scott, please email howie@frugaltravelguy.com your mailing address so we can get the codes out to you.
Thanks to everyone that submitted a deal / tip, keep them coming.
