Did You Fly More Than President Obama Last Year?

The Washington Post ran a fun story yesterday mapping President Obama's 2014 travel.

Literally month-by-month they mapped out all stops that Obama made. How much did he travel in 2014?

"Over the course of the year, according to our estimates, Obama traveled over 188,000 miles. That's all movement, from the White House to the State Department or from the White House to Australia."

10 Best Credit Card Offers For January

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 December.

With that in mind, below are what I consider to be the best credit card sign-up bonuses for this month.

How To Redeem Miles On Royal Air Maroc

A couple of days ago I wrote about rumors that Royal Air Maroc will soon be joining the Star Alliance.

I can't say they're an airline I'm dying to fly, though I really do want to visit Morocco.

I had kind of assumed that Royal Air Maroc didn't have any useful airline partners, though after some further digging I was surprised to find two semi-useful airline partners they have -- Etihad Guest and Iberia Plus. So while it will no doubt be easier to redeem miles for travel on Royal Air Maroc if/when they join the Star Alliance, in the meantime there are two useful airlines through which you can book Royal Air Maroc:
