Want an easy extra 4-5 day vacation to Washington, D.C.?

Have Chase or Bilt Points?

I am seeing both the Hyatt Place & Hyatt House near Dulles Airport for 3000 points.

This could be an extra 4-5 day easy free trip if you have Chase or Bilt points for 12,000-15,000 points.

This is the suburbs, so not as sexy as staying Downtown, but an easy nearly free extra small summer trip.

I will be updating the site soon.

I want to help people travel more without spending a lot of money.

I get on a flight almost every month.

In the future I plan to do this with countries for nearly free.

Credit card signup bonuses are the easiest way to travel more without spending money.

So, I will be adding more credit card reviews, comparisons, etc. to site.
