Have you checked out the Hilton Honors Rewards store lately? Because we just popped in for the first time and no joke: if we had enough HHonors Points racked up, we could do all of our holiday shopping here.

Good news for members of the U.S. Armed Forces: effective immediately, active duty or reserve military members, retired military, National Guard, U.S. Coast Guard, and eligible spouses and dependents can join Choice Hotels' Choice Privileges rewards program automatically at the Elite Gold level (which is normally obtained by staying 10 nights in a year). Just a little somethin-somethin' to say thank you for serving our lovely country.]]>
Planning a getaway soon? It may be worth checking out SPG's latest deal, Better Tomorrows.

Of course there's the usual fine print. You've got to choose a hotel or a resort depending on whether you'll travel mid-week or weekend. Hotels require a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday arrival. Resorts require a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday arrival. (Unless you're going to Hawaii you lucky thing you, there's no arrival requirement there.)]]>
