Once again, just like that, winter is once again here. Temperatures have dropped, snow is falling, and suddenly, airline travel has become significantly worse. Winter brings all sorts of disruptions to airline travel plans. With winter come longer airline delays, cancelations, and missed flights. Everything related to airline travel seems to take longer in winter.…
Several weeks ago I wrote about a very enthusiastic email I received from Citi. The email’s subject line exclaimed Citi had some “Great News” regarding my underutilized Citi ThankYou Premier card. Now, it turns out that news wasn’t all that great. Instead, Citi was simply emailing to let me know that I would soon receive…
Just like clockwork, Cathay Pacific’s historically incredible Black Friday sale is live again! Now, I know what you’re thinking… airfare, on Black Friday? Yes! Every year airlines typically offer fantastic sales around Black Friday and Cyber Monday on long-haul travel. Now, keep in mind these are scheduled sales, not mistake fares. So, the deals are…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about “travel tech” and frankly, that’s because I haven’t been using anything new for quite a while. Well, since my last installment of Travel Tech I did buy an Anker power bank, but more on that to come. Today, I wanted to briefly discuss DJI’s new Mavic Mini…

The other day I received a text from a friend asking me about a new(ish) credit card from American Express. Specifically, my friend asked if the American Express Blue Cash Preferred card was worth carrying. I responded to him and told him that I wasn’t too familiar with the card. I also told him that…
Ah, the illusive perfect credit card combination. For those new to the world of miles and points, the idea of carrying multiple credit cards might be confusing. Especially when two of those cards come from the same issuer and offer, what appear to be, similar benefits. However, by pairing certain credit cards you can actually…
Back in late August I received an email from Chase. The email outlined my mid-year rewards summary with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Now, the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card was my “go-to” credit card for a pretty long time. In fact, I used little else from when Chase first released the card in 2016…
That’s the subject line of the email I received from Citi just over a week ago. As you can guess, I was pretty excited when I read that subject line and immediately clicked into the email. I’ve had the Citi ThankYou Premier card for about 2 years now. I got the card when I downgraded…
