A few months back I wrote about a very nice targeted offer that Kim received from the IHG Rewards Club Mastercard.
Kim had received a replacement IHG card from Chase. To entice her to start using it they sent her a bonus offer of 2,000 points after making her first purchase. This seemed like a very nice offer and easy enough to earn. I charged .25¢ to a NYC parking meter and her bonus posted to her account soon after.

Here is a little bad new for you U.S. National Park lovers out there.
Visiting a national park is a pretty budget-friendly activity. With only 131 of 401 public properties under NPS management charing a fee, we’re talking about over 60% of the parks being absolutely free to visit!
However, for those 131 parks which do charge a fee, there is a good chance that the entry fee will be increasing in the near future. Continue reading National Parks Raising Entry Fees

For one reason or another I’ve long enjoyed stopping for a photo at border crossings, especially those with some sort of sign or marker.
The first time I could think of doing this was when we walked across the border from South Africa to Namibia. I also had some fun jumping by the border of Kosovo and Albania during our trip last summer to the Balkans.
During our most recent trip to the Mid-West, we found a border marker at an unlikely place, on the middle of a bridge! Continue reading Border Jumping: Kansas & Missouri
If you ask me, the news of what Spirit will be doing over the holidays is possibly as low as an airline can go. (Unless Ryanair does charge to use the toilet one of these days!)
Well maybe I’m blowing this a bit out of proportion but to me this is just not cool at all. Continue reading Spirit’s Crummy Holiday Fee Increase

In my opinion, one of the best parts of flying with JetBlue isn’t the free DirecTV. What I’ve enjoyed from the airline the few times I’ve flown with them has been their complimentary snack offerings.
While on a JetBlue flight I find it appropriate to eat a tasty snack like Terra Blues Potato Chips. The last time we flew JetBlue Lucas most enjoyed the PopCorners Pop Chips.
But what’s an airline to do when they don’t use beverage/ food carts? Continue reading JetBlue’s New & Improved Way to Serve You

No Really they decided to examine this topic a little bit and one of the jobs that made the list has a lot to do with travel. Continue reading 5th Most Dangerous Job In America Is…
