Are You Losing Frequent Flier Awards without Knowing?

Posted on June 27, 2012November 23, 2012 by Joel Oleson

I spent 3 weeks in a Starwood property in Nashville a few years ago.  It was a long but fun consulting engagement of life in a hotel.  I was very careful to make sure I was collecting the Starwood preferred points and tracking them with a number that I wasn’t going to let go of……

Posted on May 23, 2012July 22, 2013 by Joel Oleson

In my previous post, I shared how my traffic on my baby penguin video started to take off.  I was getting requests from various people asking them if they could use my video, and others looking for rights.  Analyzing the traffic was fascinating.  The 15 minutes of fame as one commenter mentioned continues as the…

Antarctica the Ultimate Final Frontier in Travel

Posted on April 22, 2012February 18, 2013 by Joel Oleson
