I am terribly sorry for the dearth in posts this week. A minor technical difficulty prevented my posting from the road. That’s now rectified, and it’s good to be home. I’ll post a review of the Embassy Suites Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park over the weekend as well as a few tidbits on three new restaurants.
Meanwhile, I discovered a few opportunities to earn some extra miles in my inbox, so hear ya’ go. Register for the VIP Exclusive Bonus with AAdvantage Dining, spend $400 dollars at participating restaurants by 2/28/2009, and get yourself 1,500 bonus miles and AAdvantage Dining VIP status for the rest of the year.
If Delta SkyMiles are more to your liking, you can earn up to 5,000 of them by renting with Avis and mentioning coupon number MUAA133 and renting for four consecutive days. Coupone code MUAA132 will net you 2,500 SkyMiles on a rental of three consecutive days. Other terms and conditions may apply.
