And I’m about to prove it. First, my new 2015 books revisions are going to hit the stands (well, virtually speaking), and hopefully… Continue Reading
Mrs. Lazy Travelers App-o-Rama: Final Tally and GIVEAWAY!
First thing first I applied for the Amex Gold Delta Business Card 50,000-mile plus $50 statement credit card offer. Nailed it! I hate applying for one card at a time, as I am a creature of habit and prefer an app-o-Rama every 90 days or so. But the deal–well, both deals, business and personal–are set… Continue Reading
Everybody Loves Delta–And What It Means to People Who [STILL] Believe in Loyalty
The list of Delta Airline’s transgressions against their SkyMiles members is a long one. Aside of the two-part SkyMiles Massacre production AKA Delta Smacks United, here are other examples of their never-ending onslaught. In the last two years, Delta did this: Instituted revenue-based Medallion qualification program. Butchered earning miles and MQMs on partners’ flights. Increased lounge access rates by $50.

Chase Ritz-Carlton 140,000-Point Offer is Back!
I’ll be brief. Get it now, it’s awesome! The previous Chase Ritz-Carlton 140,000 Point Offer died almost two months ago, and when it was alive, one would have to call with a code. This one appears to be public. The $395 annual fee is not waived, and the spend is $3,000 this time. Application Link, courtesy: RedTeam10 (Flyertalk)… Continue Reading

Panama City and Beyond: Trip Report, Part Two
Please note: I am writing new 2015 editions of my Lazy Travelers Handbook Series, so it’s going to be a little crazy for me until the end of the year. I’m aiming at at least 3 new posts a week, but it doesn’t work out every time. Sorry about that. Here is my previous report: Panama City and Beyond:… Continue Reading
Panama City and Beyond: Trip Report, Part One
My aunt and I came to Panama City for a one-year anniversary of my cousin’s passing–so it wasn’t a fun trip. In addition, I caught a nasty bug, and couldn’t do anything for the first three days. However, we did a few tours with a help of a local tour agency that went above and beyond… Continue Reading
