Rio, Copacabana, and Taylor Swift

Allison and Jackie take over the podcast to discuss the news and to share more about their recent trip to Rio de Janeiro to see Taylor Swift in concert. They had a fantastic stay at the Hilton Copacabana and despite issues caused by excessive heat which caused one concert to be cancelled they were still able to make friendship bracelets, watch Taylor perform. All while enjoying the local culture and food.Links to news discussedAmerican Airlines Adjusts How Card Spending Counts Toward AAdvantage StatusBritish Airways Hikes Avios Awards on American and AlaskaYou Can Now Redeem Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles Online for Aeromexico FlightsCredit Card Perks You Can Gift for the HolidaysJackie's Trip ReportAllision's economy flight on LATAMCheap AA award for GOLWhere to Find Us For questions, you can join us in the free 110,000+ member Award Travel 101 Community.
