Hard work, dedication, and patience can make a vacation feel even more rewarding. I’m working on my next vacation.

Where do you suggest going and how will you fund it (savings, credit cards, travel rewards (points/miles), or other). Please comment with a location and funding source.

Good question! I'm on vacation right now. We go to Vegas several times a year. We stay for free and get food and gaming credits. We use our MGM card for everything throughout the year, and budget for our gambling money. Sometimes we use airline points for our flight.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
