The old advert jingle really sunk in, and in my time of need, they were there. I’ve used them for chip repairs in the past and know they’re solid. There’s nothing quite like the experience of leaving the annual inspection and oil change and having a giant crack on your windshield slowly expand mere feet […]

Portal? What does that even mean? There are a range of web “portals” which track purchases and credit back some of the bounty/fees to consumers. Particularly for larger purchases, there’s no sense in leaving money on the table for one or two extra clicks. Also these stacking with other credit card rewards, discounts, and loyalty

The card is as dead dead as the dinosaurs. Reddit is blooming with speculation and folks miffed at the quick turn here. The original pitch is solid, but just because something sounds good doesn’t mean it’s a good business. It is so delightfully coincidental that the redemption from my Mesa-provided $100 gift card for Cozy

I may have a dozen cards with annual fees, but that doesn’t mean I like paying the fees out of the goodness of my heart.

Timeshares certainly do have a bad wrap. I am the first to acknowledge that is an often deserved reputation, BUT if you play it right, there are some really good deals to be had. I’ve generally found I don’t spend meaningfully less as a result of timeshares, but I do have meaningfully nicer stays. Once

OK, OK, “Free” is slightly overstated. Two round-trip tickets for $418.86 doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but “a screaming deal” regardless. We’ve got not one, but two trips to Italy next year. Somehow the stars aligned for points bookings, and both trips have desirable flights in preferred airports! While I love upgrades

This past month Kathy & I had a delightful adventure to visit home, aka Northern California. This was a nice mix of visiting family and simply escaping the house (given my recently broken leg, to say I’ve felt stir-crazy is an understatement). The trip was lovely, full of sleeping in late in nice hotels, windy
