The 50 Best College Towns in America – Travel Pulse

I always find college towns to be great travel destinations. Food and drinks are usually cheap, there is a lot of art / museums / history in the towns and hotels are usually affordable too.

Pretty crazy but something most recreational traders don’t realize is even a thing.

Hilton Points Can Now Be Redeemed For Ticketmaster & Livenation Tickets – Doctor of Credit

Updated after David’s comment.  It appears the example in the DoC article is for the experiences and Ticketmaster is only $0.002 per point which is not good unless you have a ton of unused points and no plans to travel. Could turn your points into profitable ticket flips I guess.

  1. Your take on tickemaster is not correct. You can use points on ticketmaster for 0.2 cents per point – a horrible redemption. There are a very small number of Hilton experiences they’re selling as a package at a better rate but that’s not “using points at Tickemaster” which remains at that very bad rate. This is no different that what we’d seen in the past.
