I’ll start out with a ‘not all’, but far too many for my liking. The reason I would come up with such a claim is clearly down to my own understanding and expectation of a Flight Attendant’s role within the travel experience. It seems to me that they have a difference of opinion from the […]
Using (or abusing) $700 of Amex Platinum Statement Credits
I am wondering today if I have crossed a line, perhaps you can let me know from your perspective. I have a decent ability to achieve things when talking with customer service. I find that I go into conversations with right attitude, understand what I could get from it, and then have this horrible trait […]
Exploring Credit Card Spend Requirements
Update – the spend requirement for the Arrival card has now officially increased to $3,000 in 90 days. You are all doomed… This should be news to you, because as a loyal reader of my Travel blog in Saverocity I expect you to shun all other blogs, other than the ones in our network. The Barclay’s […]
Selling Lemonade – lessons learned from Reselling
I had a great reminder today of the power of Murphy’s Law. Which, to paraphrase, states that whenever you think all is well with your cunning plan, The Devil himself will ride across your path and plaster it with cowpats from his own Satanic herd.I’m nowhere near the reseller sophistication of Big Habitat, but I […]
The $99.99 Wacom Tablet that I paid $8.49 for, and how to deduct that for taxes
I sat through a great demo last week explaining time value of money for college savings calculations, it was done on a ‘smartboard’ which is like a whiteboard but computer based.

We also […]
Untouchable – the Balance Transfer Card you must lock away
Some people have mixed understanding of the rules when it comes to balance transfers, as apparently in the Dodd-Frank regulations they were attempting to deal with a rather sneaky Credit Card rule, but as of today, 2/12/2014 those dastardly credit card companies are still trying to trap balance transfer people with a very sneaky rule.If […]
Knowing when to let go
This week I engaged a realtor to help sell my apartment in Brooklyn. It goes against many of the principles behind Saverocity since their fee is going to take a chunk of my profit, and there are services out there now like For Sale By Owner that would reduce costs drastically. In fact, I could […]
Is the 75K Business Room at Radisson Blu worth it to you?
I have to say, in terms of Hotel credit cards, the Club Carlson card is far and beyond the best card you can get, I love SPG too, but I use that for flights mainly, the Club Carlson card however offers a value like no other, with the final night of each trip ‘comped’ by […]
