Hilton HHonors Holiday Travel Party

One of my favorite parts about the holidays is visiting with family from out of town. As we get closer to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season travel gets expensive. But, there are definitely still ways to save when you travel this time of year.

Monday, November 21st join me for an online chat with Hilton HHonors and celebrity guest/traveling pro– Johnny Jet – to dish about holiday travel on a budget. We will be sharing tips and tricks– including how to utilize the points you’ve accumulated all year to help offset the expense of holiday travel.

Using points for family travel is a staple in almost every trip we plan and people are always amazed at how much we save.

Case in point: For the past 2 years the hubby and I stay at the truly breath taking Boulders Resort, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in Arizona for our anniversary weekend/my birthday. It’s amazing. We want to go back every year for the rest of our lives… but the trip is a bit of a splurge. So this year we signed up for the Hilton HHonors program, so that when my husband travels he can rack up points for next years trip!

Of course that is how we use our points to splurge, but HHonors has hotels for every style, occasion and budget- making HHonors great to help save for holiday travel as well. HHonors points can be combined with money to book standard rooms, upgrade to premium rooms and the best part is there are never any “black out dates”.

And at the HHonors Holiday Twitter Party? We’re giving thousands of HHonors points away through out the hour! {Ca-ching!}

Hope to see you there!
