With United’s new revenue-based frequent flyer program for earning miles from flying, you earn miles based on the price of your ticket and not based on the distance you fly when traveling on United.

Best Credit Card Category Bonuses

If you live in the US nowadays, the single best way to earn points is through credit cards. There are two components to maximizing the points you earn through credit card spend:

-- You want to maximize the points you earn for acquiring a new card

-- You want to maximize the points you earn for your everyday spend

While I often have rundowns of the best credit card sign-up bonuses, I figured I'd compile a list with the best bonuses you can earn on your credit card for everyday spend, based on the category in which you spend the most money.

Like all things in life, you have to crunch the numbers to see what makes sense for you. In other words, based on how much money you spend in each general "category" you have to decide how many cards it makes sense to acquire for the category bonuses they offer.

Discovering Purpose on a Farm in South Africa

On the second Wednesday third Thursday of the month, Kristin Addis from Be My Travel Muse writes a guest column featuring tips and advice on solo female travel. It’s a topic I can’t cover so I brought in an expert to share her advice. After a day of herding cattle in the South African bush, I collapsed on the couch in the farm cottage. I’d just snake-crawled under electric fences, body to ground so close I left an impression in […]
