I recently blogged about a new and impressive business credit card that was silently launched from American Express. For a while, I’ve steered away from applying for new credit cards because of the Chase 5/24 rule and the limits on how many credit cards you can have open at a time with American Express. Historically, … [Read More…]
Is the Trick to Save on United Award Close-In Ticketing Fees Dead?
For years, there was a way to book United award tickets within 21-days without ever having to pay a close-in ticketing fee (which is $75 for those without any status). In summary, one could simply book their desired award ticket on a date that was 21 days out, wait a few minutes for the award … [Read More…]
American Express Quietly Introduces the Super Lucrative AmEx Blue Business Plus Credit Card
Without any notice, American Express rolled out a super lucrative, no-annual fee, business credit card through their affiliate channels. Prior to this offer, I used to highly recommend the SimplyCash® Plus Business Credit Card (related post) as a very strong no-annual fee business card. Now, I am going to apply for the The Blue Businessâ„ Plus … [Read More…]

Sweden Lists Entire Country on Airbnb
Over the past year, Sweden has made some changes to improve the tourism experience. For instance, Sweden is now extending pre-immigration clearance to Americans (aka Global Entry kiosks), and I personally found the country to be extremely welcoming, safe, and accessible during my visit last summer. In a first-ever partnership between a tourism board and Airbnb, Visit … [Read More…]
The Borgata in Atlantic City Joins M life on June 7
Great news for us on the east coast who frequent Atlantic City! Two few years ago, I blogged about The Borgata offering Status Matches to Borgata Black Label to those who held Gold or higher status with M life, and that lead me to believe it was only a matter of time that the Borgata … [Read More…]
Therapy Support Miniature Horses at Airports is Now a Thing
As if hearing talk about how yoga with goats is now a thing in NJ on the radio this morning wasn’t enough, I couldn’t help but to shake my head and chuckle as I stumbled across several articles this morning surrounding the news of miniature horses offering support/therapy at airports. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati/North Kentucky … [Read More…]
The Martinhal Chiado in the Heart of Lisbon is the Most Family-Friendly Resort We’ve Ever Visited
In late March, my family and my parents and I took a short, 3-night trip to Lisbon. We really love the multi-generational travel experience, and we always find something for everyone when we visit a new place. Portugal is easy to get to from EWR, and with a flight time that’s roughly comparable to heading to California, … [Read More…]
24-Hours Later: Follow-Up and Reflections on My United Incident
Yesterday morning I had an unpleasant experience with United on my way to SFO when I was upgraded to business class, went to take my seat, and was rudely told I needed to get back to economy because I was never upgraded. If you missed the full story, you can read it here. 24-hours later, I … [Read More…]
United Upgrades Me, Gives My Seat to Another Passenger, and Then Tells Me I Was Never Upgraded
It’s unfortunate that United really has hit rock-bottom with customer service and bad press. As a former United 1K, and someone who is Newark-based, I still seem partial to the airline for whatever reason it may be, despite my own frustrations with United employees I’ve had over the years. Maybe I feel that there’s a glimmer of hope … [Read More…]
