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.

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…]
