Photograph yourself on your travels

There’d be no evidence we were ever together at this particular stage in time, that when you line all three of us up together, our noses all look the same.

Four Ways I Would Use 70,000 Ultimate Rewards Points

The $95 annual fee on this offer is not waived, unfortunately, but this is still a […]

Conjuring Thoughts Deep in the Desert Berber Camp

Another Book Suggestion Below I make a reference to The Alchemist, but I recently discovered a new book that I can highly recommend that is vaguely along the same lines. It’s quite different, though! It’s called Journey to Ixlan by Carlos Castaneda Daily Photo – Conjuring Thoughts Deep in the Desert Berber Camp I’ve always […]

Hotels Loyalty Programs that Offer Fifth Night Free Redemptions

A while back, Rick mentioned that he was short on hotel points. I’m sure he’s not alone. Hotel points can be tough to accrue in some programs, like Starwood Preferred Guest, which has just two credit cards offering one-time sign-up bonuses. With programs that offer limited earning potential, it becomes even more important to stretch […]

Last Chance: Chase Ink Plus 70K Sign-Up Offer

For a bit over a week now, the Chase Ink Plus has been offering a publicly available sign-up bonus of 70,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 within three months.

This is an incredible offer, as the highest sign-up bonus Chase has offered to the general public has been 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points. The offer was made available earlier this summer, but you could only get it by going in to a Chase branch, so this is much more convenient for many of us.

The catch with this bonus is that the $95 annual fee isn’t waived, which it otherwise has been for the first year. With an extra 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points, I would say that it is definitely worth paying the $95 annual fee.

As a refresher, the Ink Plus comes with great benefits that include the following:

British Columbia, Two Ways

On a family road trip through British Columbia this summer, I had no regrets about seeing it with the whole brood first, but I also made notes about how my husband and I will do it again when we come back, one day, sans kids. Here's B.C., two ways, so you can choose your own adventure.

Interview With the Congressman Who Wants to Regulate Frequent Flyer Programs

The Department of Transportation is auditing frequent flyer programs. Now, DOT doesn’t actually regulate frequent flyer programs, but the audit is at the request of Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) and will look at things they believe they can claim jurisdiction over — disclosure of fees associated with the programs and redemptions, and whether there’s proper […]
