Just over a year ago, when I finally got around to checking my credit score for the first time, my initial destination for this information was Credit Karma. Why? Probably because they advertise on television so I knew exactly where to head. Since then, I've become aware of a couple...
Well, observant Walmart fans may have seen it coming but now it's official. This past week, the retailer sent out an email to users informing them that their Savings Catcher feature would meet its demise as on May 14th, 2019. After that fateful day, the feature will be disabled and...
In the years since I started writing about personal finance, I've also found myself discussing it in everyday life far more often as well. This extends from conversations with my wife about different things I read that might be helpful for us to just casually bringing up some of these...
The other day, I was half paying attention to the television when a commercial for Rakuten came on. After a few seconds of hearing people try to pronounce the name, I looked up to realize I had seen the word before: under the logo for Ebates. So then why were...
Even if you don’t have visions of achieving elite status on your airline of choice, there’s no question that frequent flier miles can still come in handy. Unfortunately, not all of these programs are created equal, with some making it difficult to ever really make use of the points you...

Following the massive Equifax breach, many Americans are placing freezes on their credit to prevent hackers and identity thieves from opening new accounts in their names. Not only did I recently discuss the option of freezing your credit but also went ahead and did it myself. In my state, this...
