    Why is Capital One Trying to Kill Our Spending Limit?

    For years, I’ve been a pretty big fan of Capital One. This includes regularly recommending their Savor (formerly SavorOne) card and opening a 360 Checking Account. Heck, I even kind of like their commercials — including the one where the spokesman apparently lives at the branch or Jen Garner parodying A League of Their Own…

    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…

    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…

    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.

    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…

"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.

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.

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...

Travel Tuesday: Twelve South AirFly SE Review - Airplane Seatback Bluetooth Solution
A few months ago, I had a chance to fly on a plane that had only been in service for two months.

How My Hotel Minibar Actually Just Saved Me Money
