BOGO Free Sonoma Wine Tastings (Part 2)
For this particular day, we decided to head a little west of Santa Rosa and try out the Sonoma wines over there. We started out at Red Car Wine Co., then Fog Crest Vineyard, and ended the day at Balletto Vineyards. All three wineries are super close to each other so it was nice to not feel rushed to make it to the next winery. But to be honest, we were still late to two
BOGO Free Sonoma Wine Tastings (Part 1)
If you don't already know about the Sonoma wine tasting Visa benefit, make sure you read this post first! On this day, we decided to head north of Santa Rosa towards the Healdsburg area. Most of the Visa Sonoma Wine Tasting Benefit wineries are around Healdsburg so you have a lot of places to choose from. Here's a map I made so you can visually see where all the wineries are. We chose these three
myVEGAS Rewards Calendars 2021 (June-September)

These calendars are for free hotel stays if you play the myVEGAS games. The availability does change so make sure you check the calendar again once you've redeemed your award.

How to Stay at the Bellagio Las Vegas for Free (Almost…)
Last month, my boyfriend and I decided to redeem our myVEGAS loyalty points for a free two-night stay at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. If you are not familiar with the myVEGAS app/game, Iâve made a very detailed blog post about it here if you want to learn how to get free rooms yourself. Itâs a great way to earn free hotel nights at MGM properties without having to spend any money. It just takes
Playing the myVEGAS App to get Free Las Vegas Hotel Rooms!
When the myVEGAS app first came out, I believe it was just a Facebook game, and then came the mobile slot machine version. They advertised that you could get comped Las Vegas hotel rooms just by playing this game. I literally thought there was no way this could be true, especially on a free app. The only way I've ever heard of getting free rooms in Vegas was by spending a lot of money on
MGM Grand : Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection
I recently did a quick trip to Las Vegas and booked a room at the MGM Grand using the Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection website portal. I have found that there are three Las Vegas hotels on the Chase LHRC's website that are consistently priced below $100 during the weekdays: Park MGM, Mandalay Bay, and MGM Grand. I've written reviews on the Park MGM and Mandalay Bay, so I'm excited to finish off the
Mandalay Bay : Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection
Today we're going to explore another Chase Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection property: Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. So, let's begin by saying that this trip wasn't even supposed to happen. One day I was looking at my Southwest Airlines account and noticed that there was $111 of unused Southwest credit. I haven't been flying as I used to and I must have forgotten all about it. The credit was due to expire in
Free Wine Tasting (Part 5) : Willamette Valley, Oregon
Welcome back to Part 5 of my free wine tasting series! We are going to continue on with the famous Willamette Valley since it was too long to fit all in one blog post last time. If you are interested, you can find the first Willamette Valley post here. The day that we visited these wineries, it was, unfortunately, raining all day. It seems that I can't get away from bad weather. First, it was
The Nines Hotel : Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
On our last Oregon trip, we decided to stay at The Nines Hotel in Portland using our Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts benefit. I know of The Nines Hotel because of a previous trip I took years ago when it was still part of SPG. Today, the Nines Hotel is under the Marriott brand and is part of the Luxury Collection Hotel sub-brand. I haven't been to this hotel in probably five years so I
Free Wine Tasting (Part 4) : Willamette Valley, Oregon
In Part 4 of our Alaska Airlines Free Wine Tasting series, we are now going to visit the famous Willamette Valley, Oregon! Yes, the prestigious land of pinot noirs. A lot of people donât know about this region, but itâs just as reputable as Napa or Sonoma. If you didnât know, itâs actually pronounced âWill-AM-itâ as in âWill-AM-it, dammit!â In the beginning, I was pronouncing it the wrong way and was literally practicing for weeks
