$9/night hotel outside Washington, DC
Ripped from Flyertalk, not yet on FareAlert: Several nights can be booked at $9/night (double occupancy) at www.ramada.com at the following hotel: Ramada Inn New Carrollton/DC Area 8500 Annapolis Road New Carrollton, Maryland 20784 Not valid for all dates, but you will find the $9 rate mostly for weekdays. Seems to be valid from now until August 2006. This hotel is a decent distance outside of DC but appears to offer a shuttle to the metro. It’s a Ramada but looks quite decent as a basic hotel room.
Rewards for Writing Reviews
Aug

JudysBook.com is a site with reviews of restaurants and hotels, but also local auto mechanics and real estate agents. It’s new and they’re offering $5 Starbucks cards for every 5 reviews you write by September 30 (up to $50 total). It’s a little late to take advantage of this, but they’re also offering a free iPod Shuffle for writing 50 reviews and referring 10 friends, and up to 50 iTunes if the friends you refer write reviews themselves. Problem is that this needs to be completed by Sunday. I just got around to checking out the site today, already posted 10 reviews, and may just go for the iPod — but there are lots of terms and conditions to iPod offer (which don’t apply to the Starbucks offer), such as No more than 10 of…
How to earn a rebate on Priceline now that eBay Anything Points is ending?
With the demise of the eBay Anything Points program, it looks like the best kickback deal on Priceline purchases is now Ebates which offers a 3% cash rebate. They’ll give you $5 for signing up, too, though they won’t cash out the $5 until you’ve earned an additional $5.01 through purchases. They also give $5 to you for each person you refer (so if you use my link above, we each get $5) but again you can’t cash this out until you’ve earned $5.01 in shopping rebates. Not hard at all, a single Priceline purchase of $167 gets you there for instance. Ebates is not the only way to earn something for Priceline purchases, to be sure, it just looks to me to be the best remaining deal. AirMilesMart gives 1 point for every 2…

Southwest Guts the Rapid Rewards Program
Aug

2005
As reported by NotiFlyer, Southwest is imposing capacity controls on its awards. Currently an award ticket is good on any seat. There are a few blackout dates, but otherwise award tickets aren’t restricted. As a bone to members, Rapid Rewards credits will expire after 24 months instead of 12. They’re also removing blackout dates, but blackout dates are meaningless once you introduce capacity controls. Now they’ll be able to allocate as many as zero or one seat on a flight. Who needs blackout dates? Southwest is headlining the change to 24 month expiration of credits, and buries the news in the middle paragraphs. Clearly an attempt to divert attention from the real bad news and soften the blow. Rapid Rewards members, you have my sympathy.
