Travel Tuesday: Finding Award Flights with Bilt’s Point.Me Feature
Earlier this year, I noted that Bilt was one of the top FinTech tools I was keeping an eye on in 2023. That declaration followed a 2022 that saw the company add a number of exciting features and promotions — not to mention that I became a Bilt cardholder last year as well. Now, keeping…

Delta’s Credit Cards Just Added a New Award Travel Benefit
Isn’t it nice when credit cards add new perks without taking anything away? Well, that happened again this past week as Delta introduced the new “TakeOff 15” feature to its line-up of American Express co-branded cards (save the no-annual-fee SkyMiles Blue card). Even better, this benefit comes without any increase to the annual fees of…

Envato Elements Review: How Does the Stock Asset Option Stack Up?
A few years ago, I discovered that incorporating stock footage into my YouTube videos made my job as video editor much easier while also adding more energy to my finished product.

Fold Now Allows Users to Buy Bitcoin in the App
The last time I wrote about Fold, things didn’t go too well as the app nullified my “quick tip” only a few days after I highlighted it. Despite this, I’m going to give it another go because the app has added a new feature that I think is interesting. Now, in addition to earning Bitcoin…

How Apple Pay Came in Handy When My Card Was Compromised
Previously, I’ve made it pretty clear that I’m a big fan of Apple Pay. Having seen how much easier the service makes my life while overseas as well as helped me earn additional cashback here at home, I’ve welcomed the platform’s adoption in recent years.

EveryPlate Meal Kit Delivery Review
For the past few years, meal kit delivery services have been all the rage. And although I’ve written about them from time to time, I hadn’t actually tried any first-hand — until I joined EveryPlate about 18 months ago.

Chase Has Revealed New Designs for Its Disney Visa Cards
It isn’t too often that my two worlds collide, allowing me to talk about Disney and credit cards — but here we are. If you weren’t aware, this year, The Walt Disney Company is turning 100 years old. And while it already looks to be a tumultuous year for the conglomerate, the brand is celebrating…

Travel Tuesday: 3 Reasons Why Vegas is Perfect for Your Amex FHR Credit
When American Express revamped its Platinum card in 2021, one of the additions was a $200 annual credit that could be used for Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts or Hotel Collections bookings.

Starbucks is Devaluing its Rewards Program, But There are Bright Spots
I may not go to Starbucks nearly as much as I used to, but that doesn’t mean I’ve removed my fingers from the pulse of the coffee chain. That’s why I’ve been diligently (yet fruitlessly) refreshing a tab with the Starbucks for Life game open for the past couple of weeks — and how I…
