    How to get more miles and points for your next car rental.

    ByPoints Pixie March 21, 2014December 31, 2023

    A couple of days ago, I wrote about how I love using Autoslash to find great deals on car rentals – without spending a lot of time in the process.

    I wanted to share another quick and easy way to get even more value out of your next car rental by stacking deals. (If you read my previous post on this topic, you know how much I dislike searching for rental car deals, so you know this has to be a quick and easy tip!)

    6 cool travel tools and finds.

    ByPoints Pixie March 20, 2014December 31, 2023

    I am one of those people who gets inspired from bits and pieces. Pages torn out of magazines, random small objects, ribbon, little jars…as you can imagine, my desk is kind of a mess. The desktop of my computer is similarly cluttered. But I just think better when I am surrounded by interesting things. I’ve got a folder on my desktop where I keep virtual clippings of cool stuff. I was going through it tonight and thought I would share a few.

    Why I’m still using Autoslash.

    ByPoints Pixie March 18, 2014December 31, 2023

    Over the past few years, I’ve read dozens of articles detailing how to save money on rental cars. Various sources have embraced Costco travel, promoted Hotwire and Priceline, and encouraged me to use the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal. While I have tried them all, I keep coming back to Autoslash.

    How I spent 6 weeks in a tent…in Oakland…and why I’m terrified of jet lag.

    ByPoints Pixie March 14, 2014December 31, 2023

    For those seven long years, I was so constantly tired that I felt like I was on some kind of strong hallucinogenic drug.
