Another High Yielding Checking Account and a Clarification About My LMCU Post
Yesterday I posted about LMCU high yielding checking account. How Would You Like a 3% APY Checking Account? By the time, I didn’t know that Doctor of Credit had covered this deal back in 2014, otherwise I would’ve hattipped him like I always do. Before writing a post, I normally do a Google search to find out… Continue Reading

How Would You Like a 3% APY Checking Account?
UPDATE (HT Doctor of Credit) You can fund your deposit (up $5,000) with a credit card. As one of the commenters noted, if you use Barclays Arrival (or I would add Citi Double Cash), consider it a $100 sign up bonus. Commenters note that you indeed can use your debit card to pay… Continue Reading

Fare Mistakes and How to Get Them
My yesterday post on fare mistakes might’ve made some folks think I don’t approve the practice. Nothing can be further from the truth. I absolutely love fare mistakes and have no moral qualms using most of them. I just don’t like to cross that proverbial line in the sand, you know. Fortunately, in most… Continue Reading

United Fare Mistake: Now Push?
Fare mistakes are the Holy Grail of travel hackers. You can often get a premium class seat or a fabulous hotel stay for pennies on a dollar. All you need to do is to get on it fast. Mistake fares live short, if very productive lives. 🙂 That window of opportunity can last only from… Continue Reading

New Chase Amtrak Bonus, Credit Card Lists Updated, 1-Day Amazon Kindle Fire Sale and Guess What I’m Not Bitching About (Because Everyone Else Already Has)!
I’m in a corner suite at Trump Taj, Atlantic city. Unlike Vegas, a $20 trick had never landed me in a really nice suite in AC. I’m not really a gambler, so maybe a junior suite, or more often a better room in a better tower with a view. I guess, it’s a combination… Continue Reading

Incredible Business Class Flight Deals: American, United, and Delta Miles TRIFECTA!
And the winner is… Wait, later about that. The whole idea or a huge part of why this hobby even exists, is fighting the man. Or men.

My secret FB group member has alerted me to an unadvertised $19 per person per night rate at the Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort & Spa and Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort (which is just another part of the same resort, but newer, more modern and more attractive). I have been to this resort three times so… Continue Reading

Flying to Panama After AMEX Small Business Saturday Blitz
This was the best AMEX Small Business Saturday ever, wasn’t it? Or for those of you who aren’t done yet–isn’t it? Managed to swipe six cards at a local supermarket. The only card that wouldn’t work for me was the Bluebird, and I have no idea why. It did work initially, but then I realized… Continue Reading
