Getting Ready for Food Network's NYCWFF

One of the top wine & food fests in the country is Food Network's Wine & Food in New York. Flavor City was lucky enough to get an all access press pass for the event, and will be hitting up all the hot parties and getting interviews with food celebrities. So if you don't have tickets to this sold out event, I've got you covered! http://www.nycwff.org/

In my continuing effort to make travel more affordable for everyone via credit card points and miles, I want to share how I just booked my round-trip ticket to NYC for free. I will be flying outbound on American for only 7,500 miles, and returning on Southwest for 14,000 miles.

Outbound: Thanks to to stockpile of British Airways points, I can take advantage of their partnership with AA to book a one way ticket for way less than it would be if I went through AA directly(12,500 points). That is because B.A. using distance to figure how much they charge for reward tickets, so always using B.A. for domestic travel on AA. Here is the current offer for 50,000 B.A. bonus points with Chase

Inbound: I also have a stockpile of Southwest Rapid Reward points due to the fact they have 5 credit cards in their family, each offering up to 50,000 bonus miles. Even though 14,000 for a one-way flight is not the best deal, it balances out after the great deal on my outbound flight. Here is the link to some of the 50,000 bonus point Chase rapid reward credit cards:
