Episode Description
On this episode of MTM Travel Mark discusses his upcoming extended family trip to London and Paris. We discuss how all of the trip planning falls to the traveler, how it becomes so stressful and why technology is making it harder for the non-traveler. What is on the books for the Paris/London trip, what makes those cities great and why do we put up with family trips if they are so stressful? In other news Chase dropped the hammer finally with the addition of restrictive lifetime language on several popular cards. As churning becomes more difficult with these new rules is it time to contemplate whether or not you are a good customer to the banks? We also discuss: Hyatt's Guest of Honor tech gremlin on last minute bookings and what you can do about it. Enjoy!- 0:00 Welcome to MTM Travel
