Every once and a while, you read a post that sticks with you. I can't describe what makes such a post, but you know when you read one. Its the post that you you are thinking about or more importantly talking about days and even weeks after reading it.
I read one of these posts a few days ago on Frugal Travel Lawyer. In her April 2 post, she writes how she exchanged 270,000 Marriott Rewards for 120,000 Southwest Miles, the Southwest Companion Pass and a week at a category 5 Marriott Hotel. I will let you visit her post to learn how she did it, but it was not easy, but still doable.
However, I write this post to applaud the Frugal Travel Lawyer for an amazing redemption. This is one of those out of the box resumptions that our community was built to celebrate. Not only is she getting a week a hotel, but free airline travel in the form of Southwest Rapid Reward points and the Companion Pass, for her husband. He husband will travel almost free, he has to pay taxes, when she travels on Southwest until December 31, 2014!!
Yes, I know the redemption option that she used has been available for quite some time. What makes this such a great redemption is that she credited to Southwest to earn the Companion Pass. I have not seen anyone talk about this. For this reason, I stand and applaud your out of the box redemption!
Brava, Frugal Travel Lawyer for a great redemption!!!!
