My Results from 3 Credit Card Retention Calls
February has always been a busy month for me in the world of credit cards. This time around, 3 annual fees totaling $969(!!) hit simultaneously. Of course, I had no intention of paying that much in annual fees in one shot (in fact, I don’t even pay close to that much in a year), and … [Read More…]
Finally a Mattress Run Worth Doing
With so many changes to airline loyalty programs, I’ve already given up mileage runs. It’s also been a long time since I did a true mattress run, since hotel promos have been less and less enticing recently.

An Easy Way to Get Your Other Record Locators
Most of us at one point or another have used miles to fly on partner airlines within the same alliance. One of my favorite redemptions include using my British Airways Avios for American Airlines flights (because they follow a distance-based award chart, often making it “cheaper” in miles to fly domestically).
