Quick TipsFolks, it is time for yet another Starbucks promotional game. From now through December 31st, customers have a chance to win Starbucks for life via the game called, uh, Starbucks For Life. And, like other Starbucks promotions in this vein (such as the Summer Game or Bingo), you don't actually have to make a purchase...
Quick TipsWell, it’s Black Friday once again. And while I've had some harsh words about this "holiday" in the past, I've learned to embrace the online component of if as I tend to be able to score a discount on items I was planning to buy anyway. On that note, I've noticed that several of the...
Quick TipsAs I've talked about in the past, banking bonuses can be easy money — at least when they're reasonable. Well, Wells Fargo happens to have a pretty attainable offer happening right now as the bank has brought back a new account bonus that could earn new customers $300. Actually, while the Wells Fargo homepage advertises a...
Quick TipsAfter hiking its prices earlier this year, Spotify is rolling out a fairly impressive upgrade for Premium customers. Now, paid subscribers can listen to up to 15 hours of audiobook content per month for free. Should users surpass that, they can apparently purchase an additional 10 hours of audiobook streaming for $12.99. To be clear,...
Hotel ReviewsEven though I've been an American Express Platinum cardmember since 2019, prior to last month, I had only been to three Centurion Lounge locations: LAS (multiple times), PHL, and CLT. That's partially because my travel took a bit of a dip soon after gaining my card (for obvious reasons) and also because my Delta loyalty...
Quick TipsAs I've written about plenty of times before, Amex Offers — which are available on various American Express cards — can be a great way to save money or earn extra points. However, the platform has also had some quirks. For one, cardholders can only see 100 offers at a time, leading some deal-seekers to...
Quick TipsIn case you missed it, my wife and I just bought a house. More accurately, we'll be buying a house on November 2nd when we actually close. As that date quickly approaches, we're realizing there's still a few things we need to do. And while we don't plan on making any major changes to our...
Hotel ReviewsA couple of weeks ago, for the first time since 2019, my wife and I had a chance to return to Hong Kong. As these plans were coming together, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay: the Novotel Citygate Hong Kong. I'd actually stayed here twice before and was more than pleased with my...
Quick TipsA few years back, I purchased my first pair of Allbirds as I figured they'd make for a good pair of travel shoes. Sometime later, I added some high-tops to my collection — which I happen to like even more. But, as much as I enjoyed both pairs of shoes, the downside was the price....
Quick TipsIn the past, I've written about how travel sites like Klook can help you save on tickets to popular attractions. So, when my wife and I decided to buy tickets for Hong Kong Disneyland (after already visiting for a press event at the park on Friday), I found it fit to take my own advice...
Hotel ReviewsNo, your memory does not deceive you: I have reviewed Hotel Vandivort before — twice, in fact. However, with my wife and I recently celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, we saw it fit to pay a visit to our local luxury hotel. This time around, however, we opted to try the King Explorer Suite. Additionally,...
Quick TipsMastercard has announced some new perks for cardholders. Thanks to partnerships with NBCUniversal and Instacart, cardholders can now save on Peacock subscriptions, Instacart+, and more. Starting with Peacock, this is the first time that Mastercard has offered a streaming service deal. Now, those with either a World Mastercard or World Elite Mastercard can earn a...
