October Goal Review

I am still pushing towards trying to earn, Gold Medallion, on Delta. I am not 100% sure if I will hit it but I should get close! I will definitely try again next year. I only really want it because I like the free upgrades.

I am still using the American Express Delta Platinum Card to earn MQDs for Delta but it is not always the best card so It is a little hard. I hope they give me a tarted offer for earning more MQDs via vacations or car rentals.

I did use my companion pass! I booked a flight to Orlando with a friend to check out both Disney World and Universal Studios for a weekend! I am super excited. Stay tuned for the blog post surrounding that trip in December!

November Goals

For November, I am traveling to Upstate NY, California, and Florida. I may through in a quick trip around Thanksgiving!

I am going to continue with trying to earn Gold Medallion on Delta. I am also starting to focus on ways to double dip with earning points. I am currently purchasing many things through Paypal to earn points using, Chase Freedom, as they have an elevated offer for Paypal.

Outside of these goals, I am starting to plan for next year’s travel, so I can figure out my points-earning strategy for the Holidays!

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
