A Museum Devoted To, And Made Almost Entirely Of CANDY? Sweet!

This ain’t your momma’s museum, y’all!

There are plenty of museums and exhibits that are “out of the box” in terms of subject matter. The Museum of Sex. The City of Wine. Downton Abbey: The Exhibition. The Neon Museum. Mickey Mouse: The True Original Exposition. The Burger Museum. So of course no one should be surprised that there’s currently a pop-up CANDY MUSEUM making the rounds and tickets are available right now!

Zombie Pop-Up Bar Opens For Halloween Season

“They’re coming to get you, Barbara!”

In October 1968, Night of The Living Dead was released in theaters and the macabre tale of people hiding from bloodthirsty zombies in a farmhouse has since become a cult classic.

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film, a pop-up bar, called Zombie Den: Bar of the Dead has just opened and its location was picked for one very special reason…

Changes to Credit Card Programs, Star Wars Pop-Up Bars, & More…

From new military loyalty cards to a report about someone who stayed in a Japanese capsule hotel, here are some stories we saw this week that we thought were interesting. We hope you will, too:

Million Miles Secrets reported on Citibank adding Avianca to the Thank You Points program.
Star Wars Pop-Up bars are the new thing, and as per Conde Nast Traveler and they appear to be for those with plenty of galactic credits to throw around.
As per Frequent Miler, Chase added the ability to transfer directly from Ultimate Rewards to two more valuable partners, Aer Lingus and Iberia.
Loyalty Lobby wrote about how SPG is back with their Birth Year promotion. We used this for a stay in Austria and it saved us a bunch of money.
On a more negative note, View From the Wing reported that Singapore Airlines is going to start to charge more points for awards on partner airlines.
Another downer is that AMEX is not going to offer any Small Business Saturday promotion this year. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. We appreciate One Mile At A Time for letting everyone know.
Doctor of Credit reported that Caesars Entertainment launched new loyalty card for military. It also provides discounts at Wyndham Hotels, Norwegian Cruise Line and Hawaiian Airlines.
We love stacking multiple offers because it’s a great way to save lots of cash and to earn points, too. The Points Guy reported on some reader success stories of doing just that!
If you enjoy reading about other peoples’ trip reports, Wandering Aramean just posted one about his stay at a capsule hotel in Japan.
Finally, in the “OMG, really???” category, No Mas Coach reported on how an Air France flight had to be cancelled due to a passenger who was caught masturbating. Yes, really. And the story of what happened afterwards is even more weird.
