tvly.com Last minute travel: How To Find Last Minute Travel Deals With fuel prices continuing to skyrocket you might think it’s impossible to have a bargain vacation. Not true, says Travelocity’s Genevieve Brown, who has tips for last minute travelers. How To Find Last Minute Travel Deals * First, be open-minded and flexible about your destination and means of travel: think about vacations that don’t involve airfare—its hard to find empty seats at the last minute. * If you do want to fly, consider looking for a trip based on theme, not location. So instead of having your heart set on Miami, focus on a general beach destination instead. * You can find last minute travel deals by booking travel to eastern European cities such as Croatia rather than more expensive western European cities. * Think about places that you wouldn’t normally consider in the summer months. The Caribbean, Hilton Head and Las Vegas have great deals during their off seasons. * Find a family destination within your budget. All-inclusive resorts offer good bargains for last minute travel as you’ve paid one price already for the entire trip. * There are great last minute travel deals on cruise lines. If you live in or near a port city, that may be a great option. * Like an all-inclusive vacation, cruises are similar in that they include transportation, lodging, all meals and nightly entertainment. You can find last minute travel bargains to fit any budget, however, many are now adding fuel surcharges …

The Chase Platinum Card’s Flexible Rewards Program: How Does It Compare?
Filed Under Shopping And Product Reviews | Leave a Comment
The Chase Platinum Card is now offering a no fee “Flexible Rewards” program. The Chase Flexible rewards program is unique in that it provides consumers with the opportunity to choose their rewards from a variety of categories, including travel, cash back, merchandise, and retail gift certificates. However, with the ability to choose your rewards, also comes the task of figuring out how to get the most value out of the points you earn. Here, we will examine the value of Flexible Rewards points when used for each rewards category and compare this program with more specific rewards programs.
Earning points with the Chase Platinum Card is a straightforward process: consumers receive 1 point for every dollar spent. However, the value of each point earned will vary from reward category to reward category. The following are hypothetical examples of how choosing the right reward is the key to getting the most value out of your flexible rewards:
Redeeming points for merchandise rewards with just about every credit card on the market is usually a tremendous waste of points. For example, a $2000 flat screen t.v. might cost 400,000 points. This is generally not a bargain. The same is true in this case. However, smaller merchandise items, such as CD’s and DVD’s, are good redemption deals, as they often require 1500 to 2000 points, or roughly 1 point for every cent that would be spent on the item. Overall, however, the best value usually comes in the form of gift certificates and cash back rewards.
Retail gift certificates generally cost points that are inline with the gift certificate cost. For example, a $50 giftcard would require 5,000 points. With giftcards available from a wide range of major retailers ranging from the Gap to Home Depot, using flexible rewards points to obtain gift certificates can provide solid overall value.
Cash back rewards work very similar to giftcard rewards. A set amount of points, such as 1000, can be redeemed for a cash back reward of $10. Since cash back puts money in your pocket, cash back rewards, like giftcard rewards, are a means to get the most value out of your points.
The final Chase Flexible Reward category is travel. As with most travel rewards programs, the best way to utilize this type of reward is to redeem it towards free airline miles, as opposed to trip packages, which are the equivalent of using your points to buy that flat screen t.v. When you redeem points for miles, which then discount your airfare, you essentially maintain the point value of 1% of every dollar spent.
The Chase Platinum Card with Flexible Rewards offers consumers what it advertises: flexibility in using rewards points. However, credit card “rewards junkies,” i.e., those who use their credit cards for every purchase to obtain the most value for their spending, will likely benefit more from a traditional rewards program. For example, frequent flyers can definitely reap greater rewards with a traditional miles credit card like the Citi PremierPass or American Express’s Blue Sky which offer free miles and bonus mile opportunities.
Those who prefer cash back rewards might be happier with a traditional cash back credit card. Although interest rates have risen on cash back credit cards that offer 5% cashback on everyday purchases, those who use a card like the Citi Dividend Platinum Select or the American Express Blue Cash and pay their bill in full each month can literally “cash in” a great deal more than they otherwise could with 1% in flexible rewards.
Overall, the Chase Platinum credit card with Flexible rewards provides its best value to consumers by offering a 0% interest rate on purchases and balance transfers for up to 1 year, and a lower APR than most rewards credit cards. However, for credit card “rewards junkies,” more traditional category specific rewards cards will reap them the most rewards.

An adjustable air bed is no longer just a temporary sleeping arrangement for guests staying over. These types of beds are simply a mattress that contains air bladders instead of coil springs. Each side of the bed has the ability to adjust to the support needs of the person sleeping on it. Therefore, each sleeping partner can adjust to his or her specific needs. This is especially important for the person with a back problem that needs to adjust the air support chambers to provide just the right amount of back support and firmness in the bed without disturbing their partner.
An adjustable air bed has the ability to mold and shape to the contour of a person sleeping. Originally designed for hospitals where the need for added support and not as many pressure points was very important to the patients comfort and healing. It was only a matter of time before these beds were made available to the public.
The mattresses are very comfortable due to the ability to spread the weight of the body and the actual contacts points on the mattress in a much more even fashion. People who suffer from allergies find that an adjustable air bed is a good alternative because it is not a breeding ground for dust mites. A coil spring mattress can hold as many as five million dust mites and is the largest area of concentration of these critters in a household.
An adjustable air bed offers more flexibility to the individual because of the ability to fine tune the settings on a nightly basis. The problem with a coil spring mattress is that you cannot make any changes to the settings because there is none. Many people find that they have uncomfortable pressure points when sleeping. As we get older, the more aches and pains we experience. This is likely why the older generation has embraced the change from regular beds over the last several years.
Pressure points also cause problems with the natural alignment of your spine during sleep. If you have a mattress that is too hard it does not allow for the natural curves of the spine. If you sleep on a mattress that is too soft it will also not provide the proper support your spine needs as well. An adjustable air bed will alleviate this problem of sleeping on a mattress that is either too hard or too soft.
There are a number of different adjustable air bed mattresses available on the market today. Do your research and if possible test them out before making your purchase. Your back will thank you for making the change from a traditional coil spring mattress.
