Every Friday I post a new Quick Tip covering a wide range of topics, including ways to save money, travel tips, personal products/services I find interesting, and more.
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...
Quick TipsIf your 2024 plans include travel overseas, then Solis may have a deal for you. The WiFi hotspot provider (which I've personally used for years) is currently hosting an End of the Year sale that includes discounts on two of its devices. First up, the Solis Lite is on sale for $99 (compared to the...
Quick TipsFor the past several months, you may have heard warnings that passport renewals were extremely backed up. That was bad news for those trying to plan trips — and even worse news for those who decided to pay for expedited service that was still delayed. However, the State Department has announced that processing times have...
Quick TipsFor the second time in just over a month, Bilt has added another travel transfer partner to its stable. After adding Marriot Bonvoy to the line-up in November, the company has now announced a partnership with Avianca Airlines. Like all current Bilt partners (ignoring the bonus Marriott Bonvoy offers on some transfers), Bilt Points will...
Quick TipsFor those trying to balance their streaming entertainment budget, the past week has brought some new deals and bundles that might help you out. First, Verizon has introduced another streaming bundle option that customers can add to their account. Now, for $10 a month, users can gain access to both Netflix and Max. As you'd...
Quick TipsFolks, it is time for yet another Starbucks promotional game. From now through December 31st, customers have a chance to win Starbucks for life via the game called, uh, Starbucks For Life. And, like other Starbucks promotions in this vein (such as the Summer Game or Bingo), you don't actually have to make a purchase...
Quick TipsWell, it’s Black Friday once again. And while I've had some harsh words about this "holiday" in the past, I've learned to embrace the online component of if as I tend to be able to score a discount on items I was planning to buy anyway. On that note, I've noticed that several of the...
Quick TipsAs I've talked about in the past, banking bonuses can be easy money — at least when they're reasonable. Well, Wells Fargo happens to have a pretty attainable offer happening right now as the bank has brought back a new account bonus that could earn new customers $300. Actually, while the Wells Fargo homepage advertises a...
Quick TipsAfter hiking its prices earlier this year, Spotify is rolling out a fairly impressive upgrade for Premium customers. Now, paid subscribers can listen to up to 15 hours of audiobook content per month for free. Should users surpass that, they can apparently purchase an additional 10 hours of audiobook streaming for $12.99. To be clear,...
Quick TipsAs I've written about plenty of times before, Amex Offers — which are available on various American Express cards — can be a great way to save money or earn extra points. However, the platform has also had some quirks. For one, cardholders can only see 100 offers at a time, leading some deal-seekers to...
