Just so you know, if you have CLEAR, you can use it to enter Yankee Stadium (and skip the long lines to get in).
You can use my code for 3 months free.

The Brown Palace didn’t invite luxury, well, kind of they did.
(That’s from an old advertising campaign of theirs that I loved!)

Buy through Viator when the cashback or miles back rewards are at their peak, especially since I currently have Viator offers available on nearly all my American Express cards.
Additionally, American Express frequently offers deals for Telecharge, which I’ve used to purchase Broadway tickets as well.
A bonus with Telecharge is that their taxes and fees are typically lower than Ticketmaster, making it the more economical choice even without the special offer.

Yeah, it’s $50 per ticket, not just for the reservation.
I wanted to cancel and rebook, but for three people it would be $50 each, so $150.
I had assumed it was $50 per reservation when I originally bought my ticket.

There aren’t many options for using those miles unless you fly with Vietnam Airlines again.
With larger carriers, you can attempt to book flights on other airlines within their alliance, but Vietnam Airlines’ website is cumbersome, so it’s unclear how feasible that is.
For future reference, it’s advisable to enter your Skymiles or Flying Blue number during booking to accrue points in a more versatile program.

The Park Hyatt Kyoto is amazing.
Highly recommended.
Make sure you go to the spa and eat the breakfast.
It was the most luxe experience of my life and I’ve stayed at a lot of nice hotels.

Holiday Inn Express is attached to Terminal 4 and also Terminal 5, nice and not too pricey considering the free breakfast.
I usually stay in Hounslow though, 3 stops on the tube, and quicker than waiting for the shuttle.

Didn’t book this with points but last summer I stayed at the Musik Boutique Hotel when I went to Barcelona.
Nice clean hotel, with nice rooms, complementary cava, and a great location.
Walking distance to the Gothic Quarter and the Ramblas.

No, wait for better!
10% is nothing.

The ticket number is usually on your credit card statement.
With the ticket number, you can go and request retroactive credit for miles flown.
Almost all airlines allow this, the only rule is that you have to have had a frequent flyer account BEFORE you fly.
You can’t make an account after you fly and claim the miles.

Be sure to go to Stirling Castle, Old Town Stirling, Wallace Monument, Battle of Bannockburn site.
Fewer tourists than Edinburgh.
Stop in small towns for pub lunches.

Many “prestigious” hotels do this nonsense, where they are part of a points program but then conveniently never allow redemptions at their property.
Nothing you can do, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, as of December 2023, neither Chicago Midway (MDW) nor Chicago O’Hare (ORD) have an AMEX Centurion Lounge.
I haven’t heard of reports or rumors to open one there any time in the near future.
You can see a list of all the current AMEX airport lounges.
