One positive that came out of this COVID trainwreck is alcohol delivery in Texas! Uncle Julio’s has a $5 deal on to go 16 oz frozen margs and sangria swirl margs until Labor Day!!! 🍹 Get them delivered for free with #Doordash if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve card. #notanad #ijustreallylovethesemargs #chasesapphirepreferred #chasesapphirereserve #unclejulios

🎶 God Blessed Texas. Can’t believe I’ve lived in the DFW area for 10+ years before discovering this place that’s less than a 2 hour drive away. Soooo many things to do. Best food. Great margs. 🍹#roughcreeklodge

Fun fact: a ski trip to Whistler is the reason I first started researching the world of miles and points. We probably won’t get to go this season, but thanks to @southwestair, we can easily go to Steamboat!! ⛷
2 important announcements:
1) Southwest is adding a new destination... dust your skis off and book a flight to Steamboat! Service is scheduled to begin in December and we’ve already found nonstop flights from Dallas for ~15k Southwest points roundtrip! 🎿 If you don’t have Southwest Rapid Rewards points, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Southwest, or...
2) Southwest credit cards are offering an increased sign up bonus! #steamboatsprings #southwestrapidrewards #chaseultimaterewards

Raise your hand if you’re ready for Hawaii to op

Raise your hand if you’re ready for Hawaii to open to tourists again 🙋‍♀️🌴🌺 Limited time offer: the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card’s welcome bonus is now 100k Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. The typical bonus is 75k. The 100k bonus offer happens occasionally, but with a $5k min spend, so this is a great offer. 100k Marriott points are potentially enough for 2 nights at awesome properties like the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel (first pic) and the Westin Hapuna (second pic) on the Big Island; and multiple nights at other properties in Hawaii. In addition to free nights, you can also transfer Marriott points to several airlines. Link in bio for more info about the potential value of this offer, which is easily $1200 if you redeem it right!

Ryan here. It’s TMG’s birthday.
🎂🎉🧞‍♀️
Happiest of birthdays to this great country and to my wife, who one day in 1994 or 1995 walked into that glamour shot studio and said “give me everything you’ve got in Stars and Stripes.” 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
The kids and I are so lucky to have you. I wish we would have been able to celebrate on another continent and I can’t wait to use our passports again. ✈️🌍
