Quick TipsEarlier this week, Robinhood held its own keynote event it dubbed "The New Gold Standard." Of course, before the big news at hand could be announced on stage, word that it was (mainly) in regards to the company's upcoming credit card offering got out — including the Robinhood site updating with some details as the...
Quick TipsA mere few weeks ago, I discovered an app called Pepper Rewards — and I've been in love with it since. Simply put, the app allows you to buy digital gift cards from several brands and earn 5% back. While this 5% back can't be used for cash, it can easily be redeemed for more...

By using the code SPRING30 at check out, you can save 30% on "select styles" of shoes. Thankfully, "select styles" include both the Wool Runner Mizzles and Wool Runner-Up...
Quick TipsIf you've read this site for any length of time, then I believe you're well aware of my affinity for coffee. This fandom recently saw me "investing" in a new set-up featuring items from Fellow. Well, after purchasing my grinder from them, I also decided to opt into their Fellow Drops program — which has...
Quick TipsIt's March 1st, and you know what that means: time for Discover to announce its second quarter bonus categories! Oh, that wasn't what you were thinking? Well, then. Regardless, continuing a tradition they began last year (prior to that, they'd just announced the full quarterly calendar before the new year), Discover has given cardholders a...
Quick TipsEarlier this month, I shared the story of how I managed to instantly save money on my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Basically, by going through the steps to cancel, I was presented with a deal that I could live with. Well, just today, I had a similar experience with another recurring biller: Sirius XM. To...
Quick TipsSometimes I come across a story and just know that it's perfect for my weekly Quick Tip. That's exactly what happened when I saw that Starbucks was teaming up with Bank of America for a new partnership. Initially, I assumed that this was just a new Starbucks Rewards credit card (since the Chase one was...
Quick TipsIt was nearly one year ago that I shared how I was putting several of my subscriptions on the chopping block and making other efforts to save money each month. As part of that push, I explored the idea of using other video and audio editing platforms so that I could move away from my...
Quick TipsRemember when Delta made some drastic changes to its Medallion Status program, upsetting some elites? Well, in addition to eventually adjusting some of those changes, the airline is now courting new loyal customers with a status match challenge. Now, those with status at some rival airlines can experience life as a Delta Medallion member for...
Quick TipsChase's branded lounge network is growing! Not only did the latest Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club open up in New York this week but yet another is also set to open next week in, uh, New York. To be clear, the LaGuardia (LGA) location is now open while a new location at John F.Kennedy...
Quick TipsYears ago, I shared why the Forum Shops Starbucks was better than any of the others on the Las Vegas Strip. Sadly, that location has since closed, taking its savings with it. However, there is some good news for the long list of Starbucks lovers visiting Sin City as many of the casino locations now...
Quick TipsIt's now been more than two years since I first visited Buc-ee's. In that time, I've managed to visit a few more — and have also frequented their midwest rival Wally's. Now, to my surprise, a Buc-ee's location has opened up not more than 15 minutes from my house. Admittedly, having a Buc-ee's in your...
