M2G Producer Mike LaRosa AKA Coworkaholic shares how he “cracked” a three day trip to Dubai for under $100 and scored a special offer with Upside Business Travel. Last but certainly not least, Tiffany Funk from One Mile at a Time is back by popular demand to review the latest Marriott/SPG tech woes and where they’ve slacked in rolling out combined accounts.
