Earlier this year, it was pretty unclear what the future would hold for rewards credit cards. While it seemed as though issuers might start cutting back, things turned around as they, instead, added new features to help cardholders get more value out of "the new normal." Now, things are ramping...
If you've spent much time reading about credit cards, you've probably heard about things such as "travel hacking" and finding "sweet spots" for your points and miles. Whether accrued via credit card rewards or through various loyalty programs, savvy travelers can score some great redemptions using the points they've earned....
I've written several times about Allegiant Air. Since flying them for the first time in 2018, my wife and I have taken several subsequent trips with them thanks to direct flights to places like Orlando, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas as well as their super low fares. While our experiences...
I know it's now been more than a week since American Express announced a litany of changes to its Platinum card — but I'm honestly still digesting all of them and taking action in a bid to make the most of them. Since the new credits were announced, I've been...
After months of various rumors, American Express has made it official: the Platinum card membership cost is now $695/year. That's a pretty significant hike from the already substantial $550 annual fee it previously charged. So what do you get for that extra $145 a year? Depending on who you ask,...
What's better than earning rewards for your various purchases? Earning even more rewards for those purchases! That's why I've loved discovering "double-dip" opportunities, such as redeeming offers from two different apps/platforms at once or combining coupons.

If you've spent much time on this site at all, you've likely seen me mention Amex Offers. But, just in case, let me refresh you: Amex Offers are special deals that American Express card customers can opt into. While some of these offers are widely circulated, others are more targeted...

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...
I'm not sure I need another credit card (it especially pains me to want a new card right after I froze my credit), but I'm being 100% honest in telling you I'm strongly considering this new Uber Visa. With impressive point categories, seemingly simple redemption, some added perks, and no foreign transaction fees all without an annual fee, this really does sound like the card for me.
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...
