Raiders of the Arch. FinCon13, St. Louis, MO. Trip Report. Part 2
Part 2: The People (don’t look up) Part 1 Is Here I checked out some financial bloggers before going, and, quite honestly, didn’t know what to expect. I pictured a mix of over-hyped 20-something along with some cold, calculating businessmen thrown in for a good measure. Being an introvert, I was scared of putting myself… Continue Reading
Your Credit Card Information is Safe and Secure with Us… Right?
My Sunday post @ Frugal Travel Guy The unprecedented and spectacular Sony PlayStation security breach in 2011 that affected almost 80 million Sony users displayed what could only be construed as nothing short of inaptitude. In Sony’s own words, “the personal data table… was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security… Continue Reading
Raiders of the Arch–FinCon13, St Louis, MO. Trip Report. Part 1
Part One: The Place I attended a financial blogger conference from Oct 17 to Oct 20 in St. Louis, MO. Had a blast! Funny, how I had never considered myself a personal finance writer. What do I know about finance? I’m a travel nut. I love going places whenever I have a chance. Sometimes when I… Continue Reading

Virgin America’s Elevate program has become a little more interesting this week with the announcement of a new alliance with Emirates Skyward. Effective October 24, members of both frequent flyer programs can accrue and redeem their points and miles on each carrier, although the partnership does not extend to earning status on either airline. The… Continue Reading
My “About Me” Page Is Not Working
Just wanted to say that I’m aware of the problem and am working on it. I can see it when I’m logged on, but it gives me (and everyone else) an error when I’m logged out. If any of you, good people, have a clue what the hell it could be, please let me know.… Continue Reading
A Fake Pilot Grounded
It doesn’t take much for a foreigner to get arrested in the US. All they need to do is say that they hate Americans. See? Easy! FBI takes such offenses very seriously and may even slam an offender with federal charges. One Philippe Jernnard of La Rochelle, France, found himself in a serious jam when… Continue Reading
Call from Abroad For $.20 a Minute
T-Mobile won’t charge you for international roaming any longer. I don’t know if they’ve found religion or if decided to hit their enemies (hello, AT&T) where it hurts, but if your travel takes you to one of the 100 countries that are on their list, all you will pay from now on is $.20 per… Continue Reading
Barclay Lufthansa 50K-Mile Credit Card Bonus Offer Is Back
Miles And More is a Lufthansa loyalty program, and it has an excellent first and business class products The problem is, they also charge exorbitant fuel surcharges otherwise known as YQ. I don’t look kindly at these bogus charges, which has always prevented me from experiencing Lufthansa for myself. However, the “goodness” of this offer,… Continue Reading
LAN 40,000-Mile Offer Is Still Working
It was set to expire yesterday, but it’s still here. When you click, it opens a new page that doesn’t mention the expiration day. I would certainly save a screen (of the second page) just in case, but I don’t expect there would be a problem with receiving the miles, considering that the application is… Continue Reading
