MD schools can ask to be exempt. We get a waiver at our school. kids start second week of Aug and get out mid June. We get a fall break and a few three day weekends.
That's one on his list. I was just looking at times, it looks like it's only open April through November, plus the Christmas thing. Another one doesn't open until March, one is weekends starting mid-February, and one is open year round. I was kind of hoping to plan this trip before my Marriott Plat status expired since I'll probably never have it again, but as long as the hotels are free that's most important
I will have to look that one up!
I went ahead and ordered them. I justified it by telling myself I am returning a pair of Skechers I bought at Costco
When we made a claim with trip insurance and had paid for flights with points, the insurance paid the fee to redeposit miles, which I think was around $150.
Wow. Our calendar is full of days off. In the fall, there is Labor Day & Teachers institute in September, both 3 days weekends. In October there is Columbus Day. November has the whole week of Thanksgiving off. December starts Holiday Break which is before Christmas to after NY for 2 weeks. Then in January after returning, there is a 4 day weekend for Institute day and MLK. February has Presidents Day. March has an institute day at the beginning and last week off for Spring Break. April has off Good Friday and Monday after Easter. Plus a half day one Wednesday every month. School year ends May 24. (Well it did until we had 4 snow days, now its May 31)
Oh, that sounds interesting. I've never applied for a business card, though. Not really sure about that? Maybe I need to pick up some freelancing to justify it. Are those more or less the standard bonuses?
That's just weird!
I am going to order a pair of the Asics. I think dd18 is as well. Amazon has them for the same price with free returns. Is there a reason to order from zappos over Amazon?
We have largely been down on this 30k SW pts + Companion pass (CP) offer. It’s a decent offer for what we call “non-churners” but for those of us playing the game hardcore it leaves a lot to be desired. Side note: Your husband has an interesting selection of recent cards.
I get next day delivery free on Zappos. Not sure if that has to do with the rewards thing or not.@disneymagicgirl @CyndiLouWho You two talked me into it
We have a bunch of single days and early dismissals but that doesn’t make it as easy to get away. Like when just went to Universal for a long weekend he missed the Thurs at the end of the marking period but it made difficult since teachers were giving exams up until that point plus the snow days didn’t help.
Thanks! We likely won't be going on any trips until May. Already have airfare and hotels lined up for a Yellowstone/Wyoming/Idaho/Montana trip then. I'm not sure where we fall as far as churners or not. We actually churned the SW cards about 7-8 years ago. Pretty much all of the rest of the cards (nearly 20 now) we've seen a good reason to keep at least for a bit (annual fees on hotel cards seem worth it for the annual night). We don't usually fly so much, as we like to road trip, but if we had the pass we'd find reasons to use it. Only in the past year have we been on the 50 state kick. We visited 14/15 states last year, but the only flights were to LAX for Disneyland and Louisville, KY (plus NYC for me). We also stayed for 13 "free" hotel nights last year. We usually like to visit non popular places at non popular times and can get a lot of bang for our hotel points. And yes, we don't always go for the standard cards in the standard order, but it's worked for us so far. Husband signs up for what I tell him to, LOL. I know I'm really late to the game with the CSP, as that's typically one of the first recommendations for most churners...so yeah, not sure whether we'd be considered churners or not, but we like getting free/cheap travel. Otherwise we'd probably just drive and camp. We like that, too.
That is a really great benefit! Never ordered from zappos but maybe I will now since the price is the same.
