It’s hard to believe, but it’s almost one year since we first started sharing our crazy stories, great deals, and (hopefully) useful tips. To celebrate, we’d love to hear from our readers!

Have we been helpful? Are there topics you want to see us cover? What were your favorite and least favorite posts? And most of all what questions do you have for us?

With sufficient interest, we may even attempt to film our responses for a special post next week!

So please comment on this post or email us directly at contactus@heelsfirsttravel.comby Monday morning, Feb 4 and let us know your thoughts.

Heels and Loyalty Programs Forever,

Jeanne & Keri

I think it’s interesting to have clear points of view articulated, and I hope that the two of you will continue to find your voices as an ongoing discovery process. (Somehow I just had the picture of the classic mime in a box come to mind. )

Big Wins and Lots of Shrieking at the StarMegaDo4 Launch Party Jeanne and I landed at Dulles from our CLT-EWR-HNL-PHX-IAD mileage run at 4:30PM, with just enough time to cab back to work, pick up our clothes and business cards, check into the Radisson Crystal City (for Jeanne's 50,000 point bonus), and make it to the reception by a little after 6:30. The whole reason for the evening, the unveiling of the Star MegaDo 4 details, was exciting but not quite as exciting as what came after! For November, Jeanne and I are most looking forward to:

Flying on the brand new wide-body charter

The western theme that gives us an excuse to dust off our cowboy hats and boots

An awesome Hyatt promo (everybody vote for Diamond status!!!)

Getting to SFO early to do winetasting before the event begins.

Catching some jazz at the Green Mile after the event ends in Chicago.

Hanging out with all our new friends!

But the highlight of the evening, for me, were the raffle drawings. Jeanne had purchased 5 tickets in the hopes of winning Hyatt Diamond status for her big vacation next year. I purchased 5 tickets for solidarity, since I've never won anything before. I'd just grabbed a glass of champagne when they started announcing the lucky few who would get early access to purchasing their StarMegaDo4 tickets. First number 35. ME!!!!! I let out an overly loud woohoo! and raised my arms and my champagne glass in the air. I'd never won anything and I was picked first!! It was reminiscent of that scene from Legally Blonde minus the love triangle... The only thing that could mar the moment was that none the remaining 24 numbers called were Jeanne's. :( Next up was the raffle for various United and Hyatt statuses. We were standing with the Mr & Mrs Silver Springers and none of us were winners, we'd either bought a little too early or a little too late. United 1K status came up and my number was called (sorry Jeanne, I shouldn't have let you buy yours before me). I let out an involuntary loud scream/squeal, thus embarrassing myself in front of the entire travel community, before being enveloped in a gleeful hug by Jeanne, thereby confusing everyone as to who had actually won. The way Jeanne very graciously tells it, we both won since now we'll both get upgrades next year from my status. The rest of the reception passed in a blur of giddy happiness, and of sheepishness, as people continued to come up to ask if I had won something...
