Family travel on points and miles
Palm Springs has long been a favorite desert escape for design lovers and sunshine seekers, and it’s also surprisingly family-friendly. On our recent trip, we stayed at the new Thompson Palm Springs, part of Hyatt’s luxury lifestyle brand.
If you’re considering a stay at this stylish property, here’s the Thompson Palm Springs review. I will share everything you need to know about this property: from booking on points to what it’s like to stay here with kids.
If you’re looking to travel more using points and miles, one of the best ways to start is with American Express credit cards that earn Membership Rewards points. These points are incredibly valuable for booking flights, especially international business class redemptions.
We’ve used Amex points to book flights valued at thousands of dollars while paying only minimal taxes and fees. If you’re looking to earn Membership Rewards points efficiently, these are the most effective strategies, because there are far more ways to earn than simply using your card for everyday purchases.
