Quick TipsTo very loosely paraphrase a famed Dos Equis ad campaign, I don't always use Walmart+, but when I do, I enjoy it. For context, my Walmart+ membership is thanks to my Amex Platinum Card, which covers the monthly cost. While I enjoy the Scan & Go feature it offers and appreciate the complimentary Paramount+ subscription,...
Travel TipsDelta has debuted its latest Sky Club location at its hometown hub — which also happens to be the busiest airport in the world: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. This week, the airline shared a first look at its new Concourse D lounge. While this is now the eighth Sky Club at ATL, there were previously nine, with...
Quick TipsFor credit card enthusiasts, while ongoing perks and rewards are great, it's the welcome bonuses that are really exciting. In particular, when a low or no annual fee card features an offer that crosses into six figures, people talk. On that note, one of the most often discussed deals in recent years was a 100,000-point...
Quick TipsFor as much as my credit card collection has grown over the years, one arena that I have yet to expand into is business credit cards. Of course, that makes sense seeing as their products are built for small business owners and aren't available to regular consumers. However, as a freelance writer, I technically am...
Travel TipsFor the past several years, the Las Vegas Strip has been dominated by two major players: Caesars and MGM. Sure, new properties not owned by either behemoth — such as Resorts World and Fontainebleau — have come to town and other properties including TI, Wynn, and more still exist... but, it's pretty much a duopoly....
Side HustlesOver the past few years, I've really gotten into specialty coffee. Don't get me wrong, I'll still drink a super dark roast K-cup — but it's fascinating to explore all types of other roasts and discover all that coffee can be. That's why I've also been a fan of specialty coffee services that bring new...
Quick TipsDuring CES earlier this year, Solis introduced its latest hotspot device called the Solis Go. At the time, the company positioned the new addition as a potential part of an emergency kit (which was unfortunately relevant as the Los Angeles wildfires were underway during CES) and even introduced a new data plan with that use...
Personal Product ReviewsIn the fall of 2023, when it became clear that we were nearing our first home purchase, I highlighted three purchases we were making as soon as we closed on the house. One of those items was locks — including the possibility of purchasing a smart lock. Well, sure enough, we decided to purchase the...
Travel TipsIn past articles, I've talked about how I tend to purchase and pack items that will assist me in the event that rain occurs during my trip. For example, I'm always sure to bring my water-resistant Allbirds Mizzles hightops to ensure I have dry feet and have eyed the Quikflip Dryflip for similar comfort reasons....
Quick TipsTo some, the concept of an email newsletter may sound antiquated in 2025. After all, it's not as though there's a lack of content across social media and the Internet at large. Yet, in recent years, I've found that I actually love daily newsletters — at least when they're done right. In the past, I've...
Saving MoneyLast month, I recommended that those seeking to accomplish a resolution in 2025 should look into canceling some of their subscriptions. In that post, I admitted that one big expense I was looking to cut but hadn't yet had the courage to was my YMCA membership. Well, friends, I can now say that I've managed...
Travel TipsIn recent years, airport lounges have seemingly exploded in popularity. Of course, that boom corresponds to an increase in attainability. That is to say that, these days, there are plenty of premium credit cards that include some level of lounge access as a perk. Moreover, a few of these card issuers are building lounge locations...
