Alaska Flight Pass Not the First U.S. Flight Subscription

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

The other day, my favorite airline launched a novel new program – Flight Pass. And as good as the program is, Alaska Flight Pass is not the first U.S. flight subscription program. Hawaiian has long offered something similar for frequent inter-island travelers. If you haven’t already heard, Alaska Air launched a new program called Flight […]

As our time in Vegas came to an end, we headed to Harry Ried International Airport to take what would become one of our most interesting (bad) flights to date – Alaska Air 3384 Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Our flight for the day was in the evening. So, to kill some time earlier that […]

No Booster Requirement for Hawaii Safe Travels

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

Despite stating he’d make the change just weeks ago, Governor David Ige now says no booster requirement for Hawaii Safe Travels. In fact, the entire program is at risk of shutting down prematurely. The roughly year-old Hawaii Safe Travels program is a contentious topic. Cautious locals see the program as a way to help protect […]

Chase Extends DoorDash Benefits

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

During the pandemic, Chase sought to make its cards more appealing via enhanced convenience benefits. One of these core benefits is its various DoorDash benefits. And though they were to expire this year, Chase extends DoorDash benefits on all existing cards! When Chase hiked up the Sapphire Reserve’s annual fee, they added temporary DoorDash benefits. […]

Review: National Car Rental Kahului

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

For this trip to Maui, I chose to get our car from National Car Rental Kahului. The overall experience was similar to that of Vegas, only there was no shortage here, though the car I ended up with wasn’t as good as the one I had in Sin City. After quickly securing our bags from […]

MGM Rewards is Finally Here

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

MGM Resort International’s new loyalty program, MGM Rewards, is finally here. And, unfortunately, the program did make earning status a lot more difficult going forward, as was rumored earlier last month. A few weeks ago, I lamented MGM’s then rumored plan to make qualifying for status in the new MGM Rewards program more difficult. Sure, […]

Hilton Prohibits Upgrades at Most Properties

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

Hiltons Honors has long been a second-rate loyalty program, at least to me. Yet, yet, Hiltons has managed to make the program even worse! How you ask? Well, I recently learned that Hilton prohibits upgrades at most properties. For the past couple of years, the major hotel loyalty complaint I hear is how Marriott Bonvoy […]

For our Grand Maui Adventure, I chose to have us fly on Southwest Airlines.

Review: Abbott BinaxNOW COVID Test

Written by Island Miler @ Jeffsetter Travel

At-home COVID tests are more relevant than ever now thanks to the incredibly infectious Omicron variant. To-date, I’ve only had experience with the InteliSwab at-home test. However, recently, I gave the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID test a try. And I gotta say, it’s similar but different than the IntelliSwab. Rapid at-home antigen tests aren’t the most […]
