You’ll have to excuse a slightly erratic posting schedule. We left our home in Brooklyn yesterday morning at 7:30am, and we became parents before 9am. That was quite the car ride, let me tell you. It’s a busy week, we were also supposed to vacate said home at 10am yesterday having sold the property, but […]
How much would you pay for Lifetime Star Alliance Gold?
I had a rather lengthy conversation with Gary Leff regarding his post on the $1700 flight deal over this weekend, my gentle commentary brought out some very good opinions in favor of buying the deal, along with some very strange people in opposition to my perspective, or perhaps just my existence…but anyway, yes I can see […]

How to get some Iberia Avios
Just stumbled across this one when writing a monster post, and thought it worth mentioning here. Iberia Avios are wonderful things. They allow you to redeem at the same mileage rates as British Airways Avios, but with much lower taxes and fees. The wonderful thing about them is you can transfer British Airways Avios to […]
Free Boingo Internet for American Express Platinum Holders
I was alerted this morning to a great new benefit from American Express- free wifi from Boingo for Platinum Holders (Business or Personal). The feature seems somewhat targeted, in that you have to check your card for eligibility, but I believe it is just to test that you are holding the Platinum rather than other […]
No more OVs at SeeVee after 5/31?
Just heard from a member of the forum that his clerk informed him all cash on OVs from 5/31.This could be isolated to the store, the clerk being a weirdo, or nationwide.I know it will be hard to do, but don’t panic. It might not be true. Just go about your business as usual, and […]
