Anatomy of a Credit Card Churn

Un-FREAKING believable offer from American Express

A 100,000 Membership Rewards points offer from Amex Platinum has been reported on many, many websites, blogs, twitter accounts, etc. This is like a blast from the past: last time an offer like this made its appearance was 2 years ago, and even then it wasn’t public. I and thousands of others had to gameContinue Reading

Free London and Paris vacation in just One Card!

If only more people realized how easy it is is to travel free! The convergence of the credit card industry and frequent miles and hotel loyalty programs created a fascinating loophole that anyone with good credit can use to their advantage.

How to get paid to go on African Safari

My new friend Linda asked me on my Facebook Page if it’s possible to fly to Africa for free. The answer is hell, yeah! You can even make a little profit.

Eye Candies in Dyker Heights

Brooklyn normally stands in the shadow of its grandiose and somewhat snobbish cousin across the river. But there is this one time of the year when good folks of Manhattan and good folks of Long Island and even good folks of New Jersey, not even mentioning good folks from all other New York boroughs grabContinue Reading

Easy 15,000 AA miles for New York residents for switching to Energy Plus

Now, I know what you’re thinking ( or not, but I’ll tell you anyway). Energy Plus business practices are a bit shady.
