Save an Extra 8% with Swagbucks When You Book Marriott Hotels

May 23, 2017 0
There are lots of cashback websites out there with which we can save a lot of money making purchases online. From my personal perspective, Swagbucks is one of the best when you want to make reservations with Marriott, and there is a trick here you can make use of:

If you are using Google Chrome, search "Swagbucks" and you will find SwagButton in the results. Simply install it and log into your Swagbucks account. Next time when you are on Marriott.com official website, you will be reminded to activate Swagbucks for extra cashback-and that has been at 8% ! 

If you don't have Swagbucks account, you can register using our referral link: http://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=21979409 You will get extra 500 Swagbucks (worth of 5 dollars) as a sign up bonus, and so will we.

Updates on AC Oversale Issue

May 15, 2017 0
There are a few things to clarify:

1. I asked for compensation at YWG when I had my changed flight. I did not feel like taking the red-eye flight so paid the hotel myself, and I did not ask to be compensated for that. 

2. Some people (or competitors? who also run a blog) post my link on the website indicating I am trying to "self promote my website through this experience", which sounds really ridiculous: if I need to promote my website, why didn't I go to the forum and post this myself? And what is the point of leading "fire" to my personal website here? 

3. News coverage is focused on attracting readers' eyes. I did not write out the story and try to make "emotional thing" the leading angle there. If you read my post, I am calm and recapping the facts here.
