Today's Weather Story
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
WARM WITH MORE CLOUDS
The work week starts with plenty of cloud cover and the chance for a very stray shower, especially on the northern end of the area. We'll warm into the mid 80s this afternoon with our winds coming in from the south around 10 mph. That southerly breeze will give us more humidity, too. Through the week, temperatures are going to stay in the low to mid 80s for highs and mid 60s for lows. There will be plenty of cloud cover and humidity sticking around all week. For tomorrow and Wednesday, a weak front will move into Southwest Florida giving a better chance for a few showers and storms. It won't bring a cool down, though. Through the end of the work week, we'll stay warm and keep clouds in view.

AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE TAXPAYERS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED, TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO CLAIM YOUR MONEY.
TAXPAYERS HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 3 YEARS TO CLAIM A REFUND BEFORE THE MONEY IS TURNED OVER TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
BUT THAT MEANS, YOU HAVE TO FILE YOUR FEDERAL TAX RETURNS FROM 2009 BEFORE APRIL 15TH OR YOUR MONEY MAY STILL BE WITHHELD.

Return to index of stories...
IT HAS BECOME A RITE OF PASSAGE ABOUT THIS TIME EVERY YEAR.THAT HOTEL CHAINS THAT OFFER REWARD POINTS. CHANGE THE RULES.
BUT THIS YEAR, TRAVEL EXPERTS SAY.THE CHANGES ARE UNPRECEDENTED.
"Almost every single hotel chain has jacked up, extraordinarily, the amounts of points that you need for a free night"
EXTRAORDINARILY.AS IN DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF POINTS NEEDED FOR A FREE NIGHT'S STAY.
.AND SOME CHAINS, LIKE HILTON, ARE STARTING THE CHANGES.THE END OF THIS MONTH.
.WHICH THE POINTS GUY BRIAN KELLY SAYS MIGHT PROVE TO BE TOO MUCH FOR, OTHERWISE, LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
"So, I think once people start seeing that.you know, these points that they accrued for years are now worth about half as much, I think they're going to start losing customers" 0540
THE CHANGES AT WYNDHAM HAVE ALREADY TAKEN EFFECT.WITH MANY OF ITS HOTELS ACTUALLY REQUIRING FEWER POINTS FOR A FREE STAY. ALTHOUGH, NEARLY A FOURTH WILL REQUIRE MORE.
WHILE MARRIOT AND SOME OTHERS ARE JUST INTRODUCING MORE EXPENSIVE TIERS.
"This year, they've created this new super tier.So, if you want to stay.go to New York on that once-in-a-lifetime trip.those hotels are almost doubling in the amount of points you need"
THERE IS A WAY, HOWEVER, TO AVOID USING MORE POINTS.BUT KELLY SAYS YOU MUST ACT NOW.
"You can book travel into the future but you got to do it by the date the changes go in effect"
AND GOING FORWARD, HE SAYS YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN REWARD PROGRAMS SHOULD BE AS DIVERSIFIED AS YOUR RETIREMENT PORTFOLIO.

Full Forecast
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
WARM WITH MORE CLOUDS
The work week starts with plenty of cloud cover and the chance for a very stray shower, especially on the northern end of the area. We'll warm into the mid 80s this afternoon with our winds coming in from the south around 10 mph. That southerly breeze will give us more humidity, too. Through the week, temperatures are going to stay in the low to mid 80s for highs and mid 60s for lows. There will be plenty of cloud cover and humidity sticking around all week. For tomorrow and Wednesday, a weak front will move into Southwest Florida giving a better chance for a few showers and storms. It won't bring a cool down, though. Through the end of the work week, we'll stay warm and keep clouds in view.
