Spa Week Launches Mother’s Day Gift Card Sale: $100 Gift Card for $79.99

May flowers are starting to bloom and that can only mean one thing: every husband, brother, sister, child and grandchild is on the hunt for the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Spa Week is encouraging gift givers to be the caretakers for a change by affordably sending their moms for a spa experience geared towards optimal health and wellness. From May 1st through May 13th, purchase a $100 Spa & Wellness Gift Card by Spa Week® for just $79.99, or receive 20% off all other denominations on SpaWeek.com (http://www.spaweek.com).

It’s now easier and more affordable than ever to make that fantasy spa day a reality for that special lady in your life called Mom. Spa & Wellness Gift Cards are redeemable year-round at over 7,500 spas and wellness locations across North America and best of all, they never expire. What kind of mom is your mom? With so many treatment options for recipients to choose from, we’ve hand-picked some of the best stress-busting and soothing services to help satisfy just about any kind of mom’s pampering needs.

The High-Powered Career Mom

She does it all. After being the office boss and ruling boardroom meetings all day to playing soccer carpool captain and then still managing to have a nutritious dinner on the table by 6 o’clock, Supermom rarely has a second to herself. What she needs is an Aromatherapy Massage that will soothe her mind and body with divine scents to completely take her out of her element and into a state of total relaxation.

The Stay-at-Home Mom

Unfortunately for this mom, many have mistaken her full-time job as being “easy.” Just talk to any mom out there and we can guarantee they will emphatically tell you that this is not the case. From having to be a nanny, cook, maid, tutor, nurse, handyman, chauffeur and ATM machine all in one day, every day, this mom barely has time to breathe let alone get her roots touched up. With a fresh Cut, Color and decadent Scalp Massage, she’ll feel rejuvenated and beautiful on the inside and out!

The New Mom

It goes without saying that new moms everywhere are TIRED! After the physical strain of giving birth, countless hours spent awake with a crying infant and all of the stress that comes with caring for a newborn altogether, the new mom needs some serious reinforcement in the R&R department. Of course she could use a massage, but alternative Chinese therapies like Acupuncture, Ayurveda and even Cupping are the perfect add-ons that will provide instant and long-lasting benefits. She’ll feel like a new woman and more ready than ever to take motherhood by the horns.

The “Forever Young” Mom

Sure she wears your jeans, is up to date on the latest Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez gossip and knows your best friends better than you do. But you love her all the same, and in fact, you’re quite proud to have such a hip and attractive mother. While she can’t exactly drink from the Fountain of Youth, this mom is an anti-aging maven and will try anything when it comes to staying fresh-faced and glowing. A Diamond Microdermabrasion Facial will go a long way to keep her skin smooth, taut and young, all while helping her relax and stay wrinkle-free.

No matter what kind of mom you have, the gift of wellness is truly one that keeps on giving and shows her how much you really care. Whether she’s a spa newbie or self-proclaimed spa addict, gifting a Spa & Wellness Gift Card illustrates your vested interest in her long-term health, balance and happiness.

Weiss Ratings Launches Unique Medicare Planning Tool for Seniors

Weiss Ratings launches the Medicare Power Planner, a unique interactive tool that guides seniors through the full range of Medicare options, to help consumers select a comprehensive retirement healthcare plan.  
“Seniors are faced with important healthcare decisions, but there are very few resources available for them to get unbiased information,” said Melissa Gannon, vice president of Weiss Ratings. “The Medicare Power Planner gives consumers access to all the available Medicare plan prices and makes a very confusing topic much easier to understand.”

The Medicare Power Planner’s signature feature, a proprietary Decision Tree, guides consumers through a series of straightforward selections to determine the best possible combination of Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage, supplemental plans, and prescription drug plans for their personal coverage needs.

The Planner suggests specific Medicare plans at the lowest prices offered by the strongest insurers. And because some plans with low initial rates may actually be more costly in the long run, the Planner has another distinctive capability—it considers historical price increases for Medigap policy recommendations. It also gives seniors the benefit of government quality assessments, by taking into account the federally assigned star ratings when making Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plan recommendations.

A video walk through is available for each step of the decision process, including:
·         Educational guides to Medicare Supplement Insurance, Advantage Plans and  Prescription Drug Coverage
·         Diagram of how Medicare options fit together for comprehensive coverage
·         Interactive Decision Tree that guides consumers through the process, recommending the best combination of plans for their personal needs
·         Access to rates for all Medicare plans
·         Weiss Financial Strength Ratings
·         Free view of the high and low range for each plan type
·         Personalized recommendations and 60-day online access at an affordable $99 price
·         Opportunity for consumers to save hundreds of dollars annually and thousands of dollars over retirement.

To learn more about the Weiss Medicare Power Planner, visit medicare.weissratings.com/save-on-medicare.

About Weiss Ratings
Weiss Ratings, the nation’s leading independent provider of bank, credit union and insurance company financial strength ratings and sovereign debt ratings, accepts no payments for its ratings from rated institutions.  It also distributes independent investment ratings on the shares of thousands of publicly traded companies, mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs.
