TripAdvisor is offering a $50 off Orbitz coupon good on a 3+ night hotel stay or vacation package. In addition, Orbitz promo code PRIDE100 offers $100 off on a 5 or more night hotel stay or $40 off on a 3-4 night stay.These presumably work only on ‘OrbitzSaver’ hotel rates, though I haven’t ploughed through the relevant terms and conditions to verify. The Pride offer is part of their Gay and Lesbian travel deals, but anyone can use the savings (the booking engine lacks appropriate gaydar).

Beer Cozies from Girlfriend Getaways
May

2007
Budget Travel is giving away beer cozies for their new sister magazine Girlfriend Getaways. There aren’t a whole lot of ’em according to this post, but something about the title of the mag just sounds appealing, yknow? (I think the magazine is actually about women getting away together, so not applicable to all readers perhaps, but on the other hand . . .)
$1480 business class fare, LA/San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand
United has blown it with a decimal point — San Francisco or Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand was supposed to be $10,620+tax for full fare business but got published (fare basis CNZ) as $1062+tax or about $1480 all-in. The fare works to Christchurch, New Zealand as well. This is available at Orbitz, Expedia, United.com, and some other places. You have to fly LA or San Francisco to Sydney on United and then any carrier (Air New Zealand, Qantas, Emirates, Thai, LAN) on to Auckland (for the Auckland fare). It doesn’t appear to allow stopovers in Sydney — just connections. While the fare says ‘unlimited stopovers’ it is apparently a mileage-based fare, so stopovers cause a “HIP check” aka a check for the highest fare to any stopover and causes the price to jump accordingly…

United’s Grocerymiles is offering 1500 bonus miles on $1500 in spending by June 15 at Safeway, Vons, Dominick’s, Genuardi’s or Pavilions.

Of course you need to be averaging $1000 a month in groceries — easy to do at stores like Whole Foods and the like, much tougher at Safeway!And as usual, the following spending doesn’t count… Liquor, Tobacco, Fuel, US Postage Stamps, Fluid Milk, Bus/Commuter Passes, Fishing/Game Licenses, Ski Tickets, Lottery Tickets, Gift Certificate sales, Pharmacy prescriptions, Safeway Club Savings, Safeway Store Coupons, and Sales Tax.

Free Frequent Flyer Miles points to an an offer of Delta miles for new countertops.There are always miles for shopping offers, but I point this one out because I hadn’t seen it before and because it’s rather timely — I’m actually pondering new countertops in my kitchen. I don’t yet know the quality of the product offered here or how it compares on price, but pocketing a few thousand miles for something I’m goingt to do anyway always grabs my attention.Details of the offer:Delta Sky Miles are awared based on final price of purchase of installed countertops from e-counters.com. Additions to orders for non-installed items do not count towards purchase amount for Sky Miles calculation. Installed Countertop purchase price is subject to change pending on-site measurement by e-counters.com affiliated professionals, and the Sky Miles award…

I’m hardly an eBay veteran, though I won by first item there at least 6 years ago. For some reason, every so often I’d find something I wanted and I’d bid on it and… usually lose. What little I know about auctions suggests to me that people ought to bid their highest amount for an item, since eBay will only make you pay the amount that’s a single increment higher than the next highest bidder. But that isn’t how people bid. So I finally signed up with a sniping service, AuctionSniper.com, based on some recommendations from Flyertalk. I’m testing it out this evening, but like it quite a bit so far. If you want to sign up for a free account (with 3 free snipes), you can use my referral link at no cost to…
