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 TipsIn my previous Quick Tip, I mentioned that my wife and I had just purchased a used car. A major reason for the timing of this was that I was going to be headed out of town, meaning that she'd need a way to get to work. So, imagine the panic and horror I felt...
Quick TipsLife is weird sometimes. A few days ago, I never would have foreseen myself buying a car this week — yet, here we are. Rather than bore you by sharing the full story, I'll just fast forward to say, yes, my wife and I bought a used car after years of having just one vehicle....
Quick TipsEarlier this week, Capital One removed what might have been considered (or at least intended) to be one of its flagship cards from its site. As of July 16th, the bank is no longer accepting applications for its Savor Rewards card. So what was behind this move and what's next? To be clear, this removal...
Quick TipsOver the past few years, I've become well acquainted with the travel accessories brand Away. I'm pretty sure my first introduction came when the American Express Green Card was revamped and launched with an Away statement credit as part of its welcome bonus offer. Although I didn't end up taking advantage of that deal at...
Quick TipsAll things considered, you have to admit that YouTube is pretty great. Not only is the platform a place where you can host your own videos for free but can even make money as part of the Partnership Program. That said, the site has had its share of issues and frustrations throughout the years. One...
Quick TipsFor the past few years, I've been a subscriber to the unique coffee service Cometeer. If you're unfamiliar, Cometeer's claim to fame is that they distill top coffee roasts, flash freeze them as little pucks, and ship them on dry ice, allowing you to create a delicious cup of coffee just by melting and stirring....
Quick TipsEarlier this week, over on Fioney, I finally got around to doing a review of Walmart+. In that review, I noted that Walmart+ was currently underway and that a "surprise deal" was set to be revealed later. Well, as promised, that deal was unveiled on Thursday — and it's one that actually applied to me!
Quick TipsEarlier this week, during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote, Apple made a slew of announcements. While the main hype was about the company's use of AI — or, in the case, "Apple Intelligence" — non-AI related updates to iOS, iPad OS, and Mac OS were also revealed. Among the notes that may have gotten...
Quick TipsLook, I didn't intend to write about Starbucks two weeks in a row — so let's call this a Delta story instead. Earlier this week, Delta sent out an email to Skymiles members who had linked their Starbucks Rewards accounts to let them know of an upcoming change. Now, rather than earning bonus miles based...
Quick TipsIt's that time of year again: Starbucks' Summer Game is back! For some people, this might mean making a few extra coffee runs in order to obtain additional "plays" and, in turn, (hopefully) win more prizes. But, there's a better way to shoot for Rewards as Starbucks allows you to request free plays without purchasing...
Quick TipsIf you're heading overseas this summer, you might find it helpful to have a mobile hotspot with global data at your disposal. So, in what is certainly no coincidence, Solis is having a Memorial Day Weekend sale. As a result, you can currently score discounted hotspots as well as data plans. With this Memorial Day...
Quick TipsAbout a year ago, I started taking an interest in non-alcoholic beer after discovering Athletic. While I've never been a big beer drinker, I have long been curious about the craft beer scene and, honestly, may have even been a bit jealous of how my wife got to try all different types of interesting brew...
