I’m leaving early
tomorrow for California to help my parents.
They will not be able to return to their
home for up to 6 weeks, and my mom still has
lots of health problems after just getting
out of the hospital. I’m going to be their
home aid - cooking, driving to doctor
appointments, running errands, etc., while
they stay in a long-term residential inn.
Normally when I go on trips I work on the
website on the side. That won’t be possible
this time. I’m going to have to focus on
them. I won’t be gone for the whole 6 weeks
- my sisters and brother are taking turns,
but right now I don’t have a clue how long
I’ll be away. I’m so happy that they made it
out alive and their house did not burn. They
are getting the medical help they need, so
eventually, life will return to a new normal
for them. (Many Santa Rosa residents are not
so fortunate; it could be a lot worse.)
In the meantime, my siblings and I are stepping up. For
now, for me, the website will be on the back burner. Chat boards will be
updated as always, but no updates here on Michele’s Updates.
Thanks to all who sent them cards. The cards are packed to
go with me tomorrow.

40,000 Points For Southwest Credit Card
I'm a fan of the Southwest frequent flier program. Because they give points and not miles, when I signed up years ago for their credit card, I was able to stretch the points to 4 round trip tickets instead of two. There is a $69 annual fee, but that is like getting 2-4 round trip tickets for $69.
I got an email from Southwest that I can invite friends for the same deal. I'll earn 10,000 points if you use my referral, and you'll get 40,000 points. They have lowered the spending requirement. It used to be $2,000 in 3 months. Now it's $1,000 in 3 months. That's just $334 charged per month for 3 months until you get your 40,000 bonus miles. Here's what it says:
Fine print:
* 40,000 bonus points after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account.
* $69 annual fee applied to first billing statement
* 3000 Anniversary points after your cardmember anniversary.
Click here to read more and apply. You have to be a new to the Southwest credit card, or not have had a Southwest credit card for at least 2 years.
Rumors are that Southwest is going to add Hawaii to their destinations in 2018, which is another reason to bank a bunch of points. We use our Southwest Visa at Costco and it helps with the accumulation.
P.S. One really nice thing about Southwest is that they don't charge for your first bag. And another is that if you are unable to make the flight you booked, you have a year to use the credit. Whatever you paid for the missed flight will be applied to a future purchase. And there are no blackout dates to use the points. And sometimes you get funny flight attendants who sing or do a comedy routine. And.... I just like Southwest!
