A Cozy Stay at Northern Lights Village Saariselkä (My Review) – Megan & Aram

This place looks so cool. Falling asleep in a glass igloo type cottage while staring at the northern lights has to be one of the better hotel experiences out there.

Choice Hotels Offers $7.8 Billion for Rival Wyndham Hotels & Resorts – Danny the Deal Guru

Things are getting interesting with my college football friend Choice Hotels. This would move the needle a bit on Choice's program, and therefore ThankYou points, if it goes through.

I have talked about getting caught up in the greedy side of miles and points. About being sure to step back every now and then and checking yourself. That includes companies in the space that try to bite off more than they can chew. When someone offers you what seems to be a miles and points extravaganza be sure to ask yourself if this is their area of expertise. A coin dealer getting into ticket reselling is not what I would call safe.
