I have been tasked with the grueling chore of designing a weekend getaway from Dallas using Membership Rewards points.
I know! I know!
It is pure torture!
I live 20 minutes from DFW airport and would like to come up with something fun, fabulous and a bit off the beaten path.
American Express is giving one of my readers a $100 AmEx gift card for a little planning assistance.
To enter simply leave a comment below answering…

American Express is also placing 150,000 Membership Rewards points in my newly opened rewards account to plan this trip. Thanks American Express!
I’m biased but I think you should hit up California by plane. Go to SF first, then drive down to Los Angeles and then take a train to San Diego. You can hit up all three major cities, explore and check out or fabulous coastline all at once.

If you have a weekend to get away for a while, I say take the first plane ride to Colorado and stay at the Beaver Creek Resort!

I think you should visit Niagara falls. the falls is beautiful, if you are on the Canadian side there is Clifton hill that has alot of shops and attractions. There are also casinos (if you like to gamble) on both sides.

I think you should visit somewhere that is having a festival, like how Buffalo NY has a buffalo wing festival every year. Definitely go by automobile so you can explore more and of course when you get there, eat!
