Norwegian Airlines became a hit over the years as it provides affordable airfare on modern aircraft between Europe and North America. The airline offers its own CashPoints system for frequent flyers, but U.S. travelers are also able to sign up for the airline’s credit card to accumulate points for more than just flying.
Norwegian’s Reward World Mastercard is issued by Synchrony Bank and comes with perks such as no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. To earn CashPoints toward a Norwegian frequent-flyer account, cardmembers can earn 2 percent back on purchases with the airline, 2 percent back for dining and grocery purchases, and 1 percent back on all other purchases.
Cardholders who spend $500 in the first three months will also earn $50 in CashPoints, or approximately 465 points, depending on the current exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Norwegian krone.
Other benefits include an anniversary bonus of $100 if the member spends $20,000 in one calendar year, priority boarding and Mastercard services such as Global Service (a 24-hour customer assistance line), Meet and Greet Services discounts for rides from the airport and Mastercard ID Theft Protection.

Flanked by the ski resort-studded Balkan Mountains and situated directly downwind from the fragrant pine forests of the Vitosha mountain, Sofia’s gorgeous landscape and strategic location between Asia and Europe put it at a crossroads where business and pleasure intermingle effortlessly.

Aug 5, 2020San Juan Better Than Ever After Hurricane Maria
It’s been almost three years since Category 5 Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico, wreaking havoc on the island and leaving most residents without electricity and clean water. Tourism, which accounts for 6.5 percent of Puerto Rico’s gross domestic product, took a beating, with hotels closed for year-long repairs, airlines cutting service and cruise lines shifting itineraries to other Caribbean destinations. Timing for the hurricane couldn’t have been worse, coming on the heels of the government’s announcement in May 2017 that it was unable to pay more than $70 billion in public debt and thus forced to file for bankruptcy. Large protests and a change of government would follow. Then, in January 2020, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked the south side of the island, forcing San Juan restaurants to close while power was restored. And as we write this story, coronavirus runs rampant across the globe with severe economic implications for all destinations, including Puerto Rico.

Aug 5, 2020Hotel Mousai Review
Climbing along the coast, I was trying to snap pictures of the cool-blue Puerto Vallarta waters outside my car window (I know, it never works) when we started winding along stone walls draped in jungle-like foliage. Annoyed my view was blocked, I looked around to see where we were just as we were parking at Hotel Mousai — I audibly gasped. The all-glass, chic and incredibly grand entrance was so well-secluded, it somehow snuck up on me.

Aug 3, 2020Mix Work and Play in Bangkok
The 1985 song “One Night in Bangkok” mentions many of the overindulgences of this city. One of them is massage parlors. Today, however, a Thai massage is considered an activity that improves one’s physical and mental well-being. The city has shed its former reputation as a place of wild nightlife and decadence, over the past few decades emerging as a major center for international commerce, wellness initiatives and tourism.
