It's 12 p.m. on Thursday and I am running through the streets of Brooklyn. I have to be out of New York City and on the highway north to reach Storm King Art Center by 3 p.m., when Charli XCX will be bumping her new album at a surprise listening party. Streaming in from directions unknown, hundreds of other fans have likewise shirked their responsibilities for the day—skipping work and school, canceling plans, ditching kids with partners—and booked it to this 500-acre sculpture park in New Windsor, New York, on the vague premise of exclusively hearing Charli XCX's latest music the day before the album's release. Some have taken four-hour trains; others, carpooled with strangers; the most die-hard brats are seeing her for the fourth or fifth time, after having followed her to California, Spain, and beyond. For her part, I know Charli herself will be on a plane the minute the show ends, given she's in the middle of her North America tour.
Act fast: This top-rated Samsonite luggage set is on sale for less than half price
09.10.2024 - 06:23 / thepointsguy.com
There might be more expensive brands out there, but don't let price tags fool you. Samsonite is a reliable mainstay in the luggage market, and we're big fans of the brand here at TPG.
Samsonite cases fall in the midtier range of luggage: They're better than budget offerings but cheaper than some other premium options. That isn't to say that Samsonite doesn't pack some serious pedigree when it comes to luggage, though. After all, it has been pumping out quality luggage since 1910.
If you're looking to splash out on a luggage set ahead of your next travels, you can get a two-piece Samsonite Winfield 3 DLX set, which is currently going for 57% less than its usual asking price. Considering its 4.3-star rating on Amazon, this is an absolute bargain.
To buy: two-piece Samsonite Winfield 3 DLX set, $208.34 (normally $489)
For $208.34, you'll get two cases: a 20-inch carry-on and a medium 24-inch checked bag.
The bags come with a 10-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, and they feature four multidirectional spinner wheels to help you glide through the airport.
This particular collection revamps one of the brand's best sellers, upgrading previous versions by adding a four-pocket, two-sided divider panel to maximize storage space. The body is made from polycarbonate, making it solid, durable and light. Both cases also feature Transportation Security Administration-approved locks.
You can pick up the two-piece set at Amazon here.
If you're shopping on Amazon, we recommend using one of the cards from TPG's list of the best credit cards for Amazon purchases.
The Prime Visa is great for Prime Day purchases and Amazon purchases year-round. Upon approval, new Prime Visa cardholders can receive a $150 Amazon gift card.
Cardmembers also earn 5% back year-round on Amazon purchases (including Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods purchases); 2% back at restaurants and gas stations and on local transit and commuting purchases (including ride-hailing services); and 1% back on all other purchases. Additionally, you'll earn 10% or more cash back on a rotating selection of items and categories on Amazon. There is no annual fee, but you must be a Prime member to hold this card.
We've seen some great luggage discounts this Amazon Prime Day, but this offer from Samsonite takes the cake by shaving a whopping 57% off of its usual asking price.
