New York for New Years Eve AGAIN! I went alone in 2021 with no more than 24 hours of planning. This time I planned it with my travel buddy and long time friend Ashley. She has taken multiple trips with me thanks to travel hacking and knowing when you have found a good deal.
Speaking of that good deal. Since I got the American Express Aspire credit card and I have Diamond status with Hilton I look at their properties first. We stayed at the Hampton Inn – Home 2 in Times Square off 48th Street. We booked a room as an advance purchase non refundable rate vs points because they had a deal for 2 nights all taxes and fees including NYE for $701! The SAME room at the same hotel with the same non refundable rate for the SAME dates is booking right now for $1,197.91! Or 275,000 points per night! That’s crazy! 🤪
When traveling you can get some great deals you just have to be flexible and have an open mind about what, when and where. 🌎
We had a blast exploring Times Square, 5th Avenue, Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, Radio City Music Hall, Liberty 🗽 Island, Ellis Island, Battery Park and so much more! 🚕 I have used points and miles to visit New York at least twice a year since 2021. Sometimes solo sometimes with a friend. Either way I always have a blast and discover something else I love about this city! 🏙️
