I joined PP six years ago via my credit card company. It was great at the beginning. Easy access to domestic airport lounges but slowly PP member being push away because most of the lounges have their own acceptance of priority members. If you fly within United States, some airports don't even have lounge available for access. You have better luck if you fly internationally, better food, better service and more lounges to choose. Starting 2026, only Capital One Venture X cardholder can access lounges for free. Being an authorized card user needs to start paying for access. No accompanying with guests either. Bad business concept!

Today is my beautiful day. I got a BOGO offer from Klook - Hankyu Tourist Pass.

The trip to Dubai really open my eyes. First, I have been using Great Value Vacation services in the past and I do like what they offer in the travel packages. This is the first time GVV offers such a package for Dubai. The itinerary looks great and the price is right so I took the opportunity of a life time. As soon as we arrived at the Dubai airport, a driver from the Grayline Travel was waiting to transfer us to the hotel (which is a great comfort). Then, day after day per the itinerary, we always get inform of what the daily program would look like via Whatsapp. Whoever the driver will be to pick us up to the excursions, the driver always let us know ahead of time. The communication of the local travel agency Grayline with the client is top notch. The City itself is amazingly beautiful in terms of landscape, clean streets, beautiful and modern architecture, every building has its own special looks. People are friendly and with respect in their eyes. We are so blessed that we have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this city. Beside all the greatness, there are two negative aspects about Dubai. First, air pollution needs to be addressed and improved. Second, the subway system needs a major overhaul. There are a lot of venues but the subway system can hardly reach out to. We always need to call for taxi or Uber to get to somewhere which is very costly and it increases more air pollution for the city.

Allianz has the most affordable pricing among the travel insurance industry. My husband and I have the annual coverage of $485. I have received a renewal notice for 2nd year. Allianz still offerred me the same rate as last year plus they let me add my son in the same coverage for FREE. No other travel insurance can compare with Allianz. Thank you, Allianz.

I like that Great Value Vacations arrange the location of the hotels close to public transportation and subways. This is my first time doing the self-guided tour in Europe and I feel safe and comfortable with the arrangement that GVV provided. Guests would like GVV to arrange railway transfer in the morning instead of in the afternoon.
