Good news - I see DH's CIP in informed delivery which means I can take on my trip tomorrow and work on spend.
Spending 3 days, starting tomorrow, in Baltimore at a professional meeting. Won't have much time for sightseeing or other things. These are the best trips as I get my SW points though I have to book through their travel agency so no spend reimbursement. I can charge the hotel and food on my credit card and get that reimbursed. We're staying at a Curio hotel. Difficult decision - DH Hilton Biz card for points or CIP for MSR??? I'm still Hilton Gold (at least in the app) though I cancelled my Hilton Biz in July. Looks like I can get 1000 bonus points per night instead of free breakfast. Since all food is getting reimbursed, I signed up for bonus points.
I did get an email to check in today - which seems early. I might do that as it says I can pick my room. I have been having really good room karma lately. In Denver and Breckenridge I got rooms at the end of the hall which were corner rooms. Very large and no neighbors on the one side. Very quiet. I much prefer that to being close to the elevator.
Bad news, I tried to take advantage of the Meijer offer on spend 150 on GC and get 10 off. They had variable VGC (with a cute flower pattern as well!) but when I went to buy, I needed either a debit card with pin or cash.. The other gift cards I have gotten there must have been regular store or restaurant cards as I haven't run into that before.
