    Fold is Offering 20k Sats to New Debit Cardholders in November

    The last time we checked in on Fold, I shared a hack about how to get 5%+ back on Amazon… only for that option to be nixed not 48 hours after I wrote about it. While that was a setback, there’s been positive news from the Bitcoin rewards app as of late. And, now, Fold…

    Bilt is Offering a United Premier Status Challenge to Customers

    Before 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!

    Travel Tuesday: A Tale of Two (or Three) La Quintas

    Last 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…

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.

How My Hotel Minibar Actually Just Saved Me Money
This week, I've been in Palm Springs for FinCon 2026. Although I've found value in staying at the host hotel near the convention itself, with an American Express hotel credit to burn, I decided to go a different way and stay at the Kimpton Rowan instead (which was a good 15-minute walk from the event)....
