Hi. My name is Kyle Burbank and I’m a Millennial. Yes, I say this like it’s some sort of healing admission given the bad rap my generation has endured in recent years. You know — the talk about how anyone under 35 is lazy, entitled, and doesn’t even know how...
So far this year, I've done far more traveling than I anticipated. Because of that, I nearly forgot about one of the entries for my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. This past January, before going to real Paris, my wife and I spent five nights at the Paris Hotel and Casino...
With these weekly Quick Tips, it feels like I'm either sharing small deals and upgrades or complaining about the latest disappointing change to a FinTech platform I like. Well, for a change of pace today, I'm excited to highlight a positive update to a neobank account! And that comes courtesy...
Have you ever Google'd yourself and been horrified to find just how much information about you was publically available? As scary as that is, it's somehow worse when you come across sites that tease your sensitive info and advise those interested to pay for the privilege of viewing it. To...
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a look at my Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser adventure. But, before that unique (and pricey) experience, my wife and I spent three nights in more conventional accommodations, booking a stay at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace.

Last summer, American Express rolled out a revamped version of its iconic Platinum card. While some of these changes were controversial, I ended up being a fan overall. Yet, one of the sources of consternation among some involved the limitations of the Digital Entertainment Credit. At launch, this $240 a...
[UPDATE: Days after I posted this, Fold changed up its offering, removing the Amazon benefit from the free Spin card. It does still offer 5% back (up to $500 in purchases per month) on Amazon gift cards for those with the Spin+ card — which now has an annual fee...
A few months back, I shared my experience visiting a Buc-ee's for the first time when on a road trip to Florida. Well, this past weekend, my wife and I headed up to Chicago for C2E2. Along the way, we noticed a large gas station called Wally's, which seemed to...
I'll admit that, historically, I've not been a huge fan of flying Southwest. This distaste stems pretty much exclusively from their boarding system and the fact that you don't have an assigned seat ahead of time. As someone who's grown accustomed to reserving a seat at the movies for years,...
Boy, I sure can pick 'em. At the beginning of the year, I named my top five FinTechs to watch in 2022. While one of those five seems headed toward big things after being acquired by Walmart, two of my selections are now dead. Well, technically, PointCard the company is...
For months, one of the biggest stories in the country — let alone finance stories — has been the rate of inflation. Due to a number of factors, Americans have seen everything from their grocery bills to their gas pump totals rise. Similarly, many renters have experienced hikes on their...
