    Check Your Email – You May Have Money From Equifax (Again)

    In what feels like a lifetime ago at this point (2017), one of the three major credit bureaus in the United States, Equifax, experienced a massive data breach that impacted millions of consumers. A couple of years later, a class action lawsuit resulted in compensation payouts for thsoe that claimed them. Of course, with so…

    Go Brewing Non-Alcoholic Beer Subscription Review: The Pros and Cons

    A few months ago, while visiting my wife’s family in Ohio, I came across Go Brewing in the non-alcoholic beer section of a local grocery store. Upon trying their Not Just Another Story Double IPA (Now known as simply “The Story Double IPA”), I was blown away. When I got home, I looked to see…

    Each year, I like to do a round-up of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals being offered for the various products I’ve reviewed in the past. Of course, with these sales now regularly starting early, I figured it was worth looking at what deals were already available before checking back in next week. So, without further ado,…

    Travel Tuesday: Delta is Bringing Shake Shack Burgers to the Sky

    Once upon a time, when you flew anywhere of reasonable distance, you’d be served a meal onboard. And while this wasn’t always the best food (see: stand-up comedy bits from the 80s and 90s), it was included with your ticket. Of course, those days are long gone — unless, of course, you’re flying in first class.…

    Pepper is Continuing to Evolve, Adding Expiration Rules for Points

    When the app Pepper Rewards launched earlier this year (or, technically, launched its rebrand), I was an instant fan. Not only was the app easy to use but it also had plenty of solid brands, all offering 5% back on gift card purchases. However, since then, the offering has continued to evolve — and not…

    My New Vegas Preference: Why I’ve Been Going Back to Taxis

    There’s no question that Uber has been a game changer for travelers and commuters alike. Not only did the platform provide an often less expensive competitor for traditional cabs but also made them easier to hail and pay for. Plus, it provided plenty of people with a solid side hustle opportunity. However, while I’ve been…

    Travel Tuesday: Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel Review

    Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, but have never really ventured into the city itself (other than driving through it on road trips). So, when it was revealed that FinCon 2024 would be held in Downtown Atlanta, I relished the opportunity to finally explore the area and stay in…

    FinCon 2024 Recap: Returning to the Conference After 5 Years

    It’s hard to believe but, prior to the last week, it had been five long years since I attended a FinCon event in person. After going to my first event in 2018, I attended the 2019 conference in Washington D.C. — and then, well, you know. Even though FinCon had since returned, I was unable…

    How I Earned Double Starbucks Stars During My Marriott Stay

    Over the summer, Starbucks and Marriott Bonvoy announced a new partnership. Unfortunately, unlike the deal that Starbucks serves up with Delta, I wasn’t too impressed with the Marriott offering that limits Bonvoy point-earning to select weeks and requires customers to make at least three purchases during that week to earn just 100 Marriott Bonvoy points.…

"Smart Brevity" Book Review — Can it Help Improve Your Writing?
I'm not 100% sure when it was that I first heard about the site Axios.

For those...
Solis is Launching Yet Another New Global WiFi Hotspot Model
Back in 2019, I purchased my first Solis (then known as Skyroam Solis) international hotspot device. Since then, though, the company has rolled out a number of new models — and that pace has really hastened over the past couple of years. That continued this month as preorders for their new Solis Tag device opened....

Updated on February 3, 2026 When my wife and I moved to Springfield, Missouri more than a decade ago, one of the selling points (or at least what kept it in the running) was that there was a nearby airport that served a decent number of destinations. Unfortunately, while it is convenient, flying out of...

All Signs Point to an All-New Amex Green Card Coming Soon
Despite its iconic look, in recent years, the American Express Green Card has been well overshadowed by the Gold and Platinum cards.

Travel Tuesday: July Capsule Carry On Pro Luggage Review
I've never been a big fan of hardshell luggage.

Mainly, my issue is that the typical clamshell design that splits the bag into two equal parts...
Another Centurion Lounge Access Policy Update is Now in Effect
Over the past several years, the popularity of airport lounge networks has caused these locations to adjust their entry rules.
