ToP Roundup

In this series I will share articles I found interesting from all over the web. These will be articles about miles, points, travel, finance and everything in-between. Hopefully this ToP Roundup series will give you some interesting tidbits and new information you may have missed during the week. If you see anything out there that you think others may find of interest please feel free to share it with me at Mark@travel-on-points.com.

I don't mind having a more uniform rule across all brands. That is what gets annoying about Marriott, and to a lesser extent Hilton, at times. As long as this doesn't change status perks for late checkout I don't see a problem.

Carnival Cruise Line quietly cuts free drink selection – The Street

This seems mighty cheap of them, especially since they didn't seem to let people know. Although it might have been a more unwritten perk in the past.

Cap One's Giant 400K Bonus, Misleading Travel Ads, MGM Goes Iconic & Insane Food Presentations! – YouTube

That MGM card could be mighty interesting for the right over 5/24 person.
