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 TipsAs I'm sure you know (and as I shared in another post), today is Black Friday. Yes, it feels as though this has already been going on for a month at this point, but today is the actual event. Yet, I'd argue that tomorrow is actually the more important retail holiday: Small Business Saturday.
Quick TipsHey, it's Black Friday! Personally, I've been pretty anti- this annual shopping holiday for a while, but that doesn't mean that it's completely bereft of redeeming factors. For example, while what I'm mostly opposed to is the frenzy that happens at physical store locations, there are some decent deals you can take advantage of from...
Quick TipsStanding in the shadow of the American Express Platinum and Gold cards, the Green card seems oft-forgotten these days. Despite having an iconic look and getting a revamp in 2019, it's rare that I hear anyone mention this card. That might be because, for those with the other two aforementioned hybrid cards (formerly charge cards...
Quick TipsThat headline is only slightly dramatic — but, seriously, who knew that a full digital inbox would somehow lead to a full physical inbox and more? Let me explain. Thanks to a friend of mine who happened to try sending a message to my Money@30 email address, I learned that said inbox wasn't working. The...
Quick TipsThe 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...
Quick TipsBefore 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! Of course, it also helps that I'm now a Bilt Mastercard cardholder so my attention is heightened. Still, I wanted to share their latest...
Quick TipsNext week, U.S. Bank is set to launch what may be one of the most interesting rewards credit cards I've seen since I started paying attention to such things. Dubbed the Shopper Cash Rewards card, this offering allows customers to earn cashback amounts for specific retailers that likely top what even their co-branded counterparts feature....
Quick TipsI'm going to level with you: there was a ton of Quick Tip fodder this week. Yet, one story proved itself to be so absolutely perfect for this slot that I couldn't deny it. Somehow, this news combines two companies that we've talked about a lot on this site and adds in free stuff. Plus,...
Quick TipsIf you're a fiend for coffee, tea, soda, etc., then American Express and Panera might have a deal on tap for you. Currently, Amex customers can claim a 4-month trial of the fast-casual chain's Unlimted Sips Club, entitling them to a bevy of beverages. Separate from the Amex Offers feature I've written about before, this...
Quick TipsEver since I first switched to T-Mobile, it seems that the "uncarrier" has continued to add new perks while my bill has remained mostly flat — maybe going up by a couple of dollars or so. In addition to partnering with more streaming services and even offering a free year of AAA, T-Mobile has also...
Quick TipsIn a move seen as an attempt to take on TikTok's dominance in the short-form video content space, YouTube has just unveiled a new plan to monetize its growing Shorts platform. Replacing the current Shorts Fund, YouTube has announced that it will soon deliver 45% of ad revenue generated from Shorts to creators. Unlike long-form...
Quick TipsA few months back, I decided to share a short list of some of my favorite items to purchase at Sam's Club. Well, as of late, I've found myself spending more time in the non-edible sections of the warehouse store. In turn, I've been able to save money on items I hadn't really considered previously....
