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...
This week has not been great for me. Well, all things considered, I'm pretty sure there are few who would rank the past seven days among their best. However, in addition to all that general stress, this week we found out that my wife would need to undergo surgery for...
If you have an online bank account or other high-yield savings, chances are you got an e-mail this week informing you that your interest rate was being cut. That's thanks to the Federal Reserve cutting rates by a half-a-point in an emergency move amid the spread of COVID-19. Yes, that's...
First of all, I realize I've been writing about the American Express Platinum card a lot lately — but, hey, it's my shiny new toy so please bear with me. While penning my full review of the card recently, I realized there was one way I might be able to...
Last summer, my wife and I decided it was time to replace our aging sedan. But, instead of buying an actual new car, we decided to shop the used market for something that would be an upgrade for us but at a decent price. Basically, the goal was to find...

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.
