Black Friday Deals:

• Mommy Points is keeping an updated post with Travel related Black Friday Deals. Worth checking back on, so far the most interested one I’m seeing is 20% bonus on Fairmont hotels gift cards.
• Ed Pizzarello highlights some good Black Friday deals at Amazon. Not really opportunities to resell, but I picked up an Echo for myself, figured, why not give it a try.
• Also, if you had your heart set on a doorbuster deal from a brick and mortar store, Trent reminds us, check to see if Amazon has matched it. They’ve matched a ton!

Amazon today has price-matched a sampling of 29 out of 30 “doorbuster” skus across 4 sites .@OrensMoneySaver

Travel:

• The First Boeing 757 landed on a Blue-Ice Runway in Antarctica – Seems like this could bring the ability to get to Antarctica closer..!
• From Vinh (and one I found from the below Chasing the Points post), using the AMEX Platinum Concierge for travel planning. Incredible! Get the most out of your $450 annual fee!

Miles and Points:

• Scott asks: Are airlines becoming more reliant on selling miles? Sure seems like it!
• Air Canada’s Altitude frequent flyer program ties status to spend… I dare say that the Altitude has Attitude!

Manufactured Spending:

• Tahsir shares a different view on manufactured spending and leveraging the $20 off $300 Office Max Visa Gift Card deal.
• Chasing the Points offers that you should design a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis to identify your core competencies. Some of the things he’s found are pretty Weltnschauung changing, at least to me.
