I think most folks know by now, there are super cheap flights to Brazil, as low as $450. That’s a pretty good deal, especially if you already have a visa (which if you don’t, is another ~$160). For those folks looking for mileage runs, it can be as low as 3.8 cents per mile. Pretty…
I refer to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) a lot, because it is my number one outlet for reselling in the pursuit of points. Chatting with a friend, I realized that I’ve never actually put together anything basic about how to get started with FBA. This is a continuation of my attempt at that.Read Also: Beginner’s…
Monday night, Doctor of Credit lamented his frustration with how manufactured spending (MS) costs are articulated. His argument, to put it succinctly, is that your costs should be estimated by what you could have earned if you had MSed on a 2% card. That, vs. the thought of assessing your MS costs by the $5.95…
Last year I had this hairbrained idea that I would requalify for American AAdvantage Executive Platinum status via Elite Qualifying Points (EQPs), rather than the traditional Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs). I set out on this strategy with a trip to Cairo, and then followed it up with my most ambitious mileage run ever, which was…

Like many, I jumped on the cat call for the Barclay’s US Airways card — twice in fact, the last one, being the final day it was available (in fact, I just got my last bonus today). The AviatorRed card isn’t the the most rewarding; category bonuses are fairly consistent with the Citi Aadvantage cards, but…
I haven’t read as much about the Amtrak accident as I’d like to have, but, one can only take so much. In fact, the thing that spurred me to share this post, was Ed, who writes Pizza in Motion’s post here. What we know, so far, is that an Amtrak train derailed late Tuesday night. It appears…
From the outset, I want to be clear: I was quite giddy about this flight. I got even more excited when I boarded. And the flight was great compared to most every other flight I’ve taken – but. There is always a but. As my wife or my friend Saianel would say: I can be a…
I just happened to look at Milenerd‘s morning e-mail (which I do every morning), where he mentioned Ebate’s ongoing 16% cash back in honor of their 16th year. Dia had a post earlier in the week, but for background, from May 11-18 you can shop particular stores and get 16% cash back. On Monday, Kohls…
