Hi Fellow Traveler,

It’s time for the weekly offers… Happy October.

Today’s sponsor is CompareCredit; check it out below.

Oh, my friend Ciara has written this book, “very whimsical magical escapist read. Harry Potter meets Practical Magic.” It’s a great price on Amazon Kindle right now.

Here’s what I have to highlight this week:

  • Virgin Voyages Rates From $189/Night

  • Redeeming Rewards For Less At IHG. These don’t come by often.

  • American Airlines Incentives AAdvantage Members To Donate To Hurricane Helene Efforts

  • Tours With My Partner Walks

Plus in the Tips section, I talk about how to link your rideshare Apps to several travel suppliers for points.
