$50 off $100 Hotel, Orbitz (Masterpass)

Starting tomorrow, Orbitz is having a $50USD off $100USD promotion, for bookings until June 30, 2016. There is no minimum night restriction.

Although this is not as excellent as their previous $100 off promotion, I doubt we’ll see that anytime soon, and this is an excellent deal to grab. To use this offer, use code “MASTERPASS” and pay with Masterpass. Note that the promotion ends after a number of uses, so I’d grab this fast.

EXTENDED: Want to start your own travel blog? Do it today!

This sale is extended until today. The new promo code is MONDAY. This is a repost from yesterday, but with the updated promo code. Sale ends tonight.

It’s always great to have some competition! And the only great deal I found this weekend is with A Small Orange [this is an affiliate link], a web-hosting company. They’re my host for a number of other websites I run (I have quite a few, but those are secret 😉 ). Today is the final day for their Black Friday deal, which is 75% off their hosting. I don’t normally advertise products (I believe this is the first time I’ve done so on DCTA), but this really is an amazing deal.

When Aeroplan is Incredibly Stupid

With my award booking service, I get to deal with Aeroplan a lot. And when I mean a lot, I mean, I make hundreds of calls a month to Aeroplan. Most of their agents are competent (their supervisors, surprisingly, less so). However, sometimes you get an absolute delight, who is wildly special. I mean absolutely, terrifyingly, wildly, special. For this story, let’s call her Olga (a pseudonym).

My US Credit Card Experience as a Canadian

Lately, I’ve been very involved in the US credit card market. Why? Simply put, US credit cards offer better sign-up bonuses, and generally greater returns. However, as a Canadian, it’s substantially harder to get US credit cards, as I don’t have a Social Security Number (SSN). Although an SSN is outside the reach of most people, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is not. With an ITIN, you can build a US credit report, and easily apply to many, but not all, US credit cards. This article will explore my experience so far.

Trip Report: My airline went bankrupt! Estonia and Helsinki

I wasn’t planning on writing this trip report. Indeed, I rarely write trip repots, largely because they’re a hassle and most products have been reviewed too many times. However, this trip turned into a delighting series of unfortunate events (comically so), so I thought it’d be a fun read. The trip starts out well, but ends… poorly.
