10 Best Credit Card Offers For March

Every month I make a post with what I consider to be the best credit card sign-up bonuses of the month.

While there are several excellent long standing credit card offers, the specifics of the best offers are constantly changing (be it the annual fee, minimum spend requirement, or even amount of the sign-up bonus).

If you read my blog on a daily basis then by all means skip this post, but for me it’s a useful, “current” place to refer people that ask about which cards they should sign-up for, a question I get on a daily basis. For reference, here is my list of the best credit card sign up bonuses for February.

With that in mind, below are what I consider to be the best credit card sign-up bonuses for this month. In advance I should warn that this hasn't been an especially exciting month on the credit card front. With that in mind:

The Postcard Project

All signs point to the imminent death of this iconic form of correspondence. Postcard stamp sales are way down, fewer stores are selling them, and more and more travelers are turning to digital methods to share stories from the road. But who doesn't smile when they receive a postcard in the mail, especially in this day and age? I'm resolving here and now to rekindle the childlike joy in sending and receiving postcards by paying it forward myself. Who’s with me?

Do You Eat Domestic First Class Airplane Food?

As any road warrior can relate to, staying healthy while on the road can be a struggle. And unfortunately it only gets worse when you live on the road... or in the air, as the case may be. ;)

This post isn't about eating healthy, but rather just about how I've personally reached a turning point with domestic airline food.

For all the time I've been involved in this hobby (about a decade), domestic airline food hasn't exactly been gourmet. That being said, the quality has varied substantially over time and by carrier.

But no matter how bad first class food was domestically, in the past I've always found myself eating it. Why?
