In this episode we sit down with Ashley Peterson, founder of Ashley Gets Around and the TravelMore Conference. We dive into why she thinks status is even more valuable than credit card sign up bonuses! Learn about saving money on checked bags and upgrades with American Airlines, as well as knowing your status benefits and how to maximize them at Marriott Hotels. We were fascinated to hear all about her transition from her previous career to becoming the creator of the only female-owned business class deals list of its size. If you are planning to attend TravelMore Conference like we are, you are going to LOVE hearing from this iconic boss-lady! In addition, we also chat about planning a trip to the Hyatt Baha Mar in the Bahamas. EDIT***- timestamp- 35 minutes in: We says that you can use Marriott free night certificates in combination with the 5th night free! This is actually incorrect! 5th night free CAN be used on award nights but not with free night certs!
