Hotel ReviewsA couple of weeks ago, I shared a look at the La Quintas we stopped at as my wife, our dog Rigby, and I made our way to California. So, today, I figured I'd talk about where we stayed once we made it to our destination: the Motel 6 near the Anaheim Convention Center. Truth...
Quick TipsBefore I begin this one, let me acknowledge that, yes, I have been talking a lot about Bilt lately. But, in my defense, that's only because they keep doing fascinating stuff! Of course, it also helps that I'm now a Bilt Mastercard cardholder so my attention is heightened. Still, I wanted to share their latest...
YouTube TipsOver the course of the five years that I've been publishing content on YouTube, the platform has seen a number of changes. Yet, what is perhaps the biggest update to the site arrived stateside last year with the introduction of YouTube Shorts. Even more recently, the offering made headlines (including on this site) as YouTube...
Quick TipsNext week, U.S. Bank is set to launch what may be one of the most interesting rewards credit cards I've seen since I started paying attention to such things.

Hotel ReviewsLast month, my wife and I set off on a road trip to California. A major reason why we choose to drive this time instead of fly was so that we could more easily travel with our dog, Rigby, who's still getting used to life with us. With her in tow, we decided to not...

Travel TipsEven for the most seasoned travelers, airports can be filled with stress. Oftentimes, this starts not long after entering the terminal as long lines may greet them at security. On the bright side, programs such as TSA Precheck can help flyers reduce the time they spend in line. What's more, with the right credit card,...
Quick TipsIf you're a fiend for coffee, tea, soda, etc., then American Express and Panera might have a deal on tap for you. Currently, Amex customers can claim a 4-month trial of the fast-casual chain's Unlimted Sips Club, entitling them to a bevy of beverages. Separate from the Amex Offers feature I've written about before, this...
Writing TipsI'm not 100% sure when it was that I first heard about the site Axios. Regardless, these days, I'm subscribed to several of their newsletters, regularly visit their website, and may or may not have already taken some inspiration from them when revamping the news style of the Disney site I write for. For those...
Travel TipsToday, my wife and I are celebrating our ninth wedding anniversary. So, what are we doing to mark the occasion? Well... seeing as our new dog isn't quite ready to be left alone, our options were limited, leaving us to eventually opt for a casual, uneventful night in. However, this has given us even more...
Quick TipsEver since I first switched to T-Mobile, it seems that the "uncarrier" has continued to add new perks while my bill has remained mostly flat — maybe going up by a couple of dollars or so. In addition to partnering with more streaming services and even offering a free year of AAA, T-Mobile has also...
Quick TipsIn a move seen as an attempt to take on TikTok's dominance in the short-form video content space, YouTube has just unveiled a new plan to monetize its growing Shorts platform.
