When I first heard about the Companion Pass from Southwest Airlines, I thought it was too good to be true. After all, how can any airline offer unlimited free flights for a companion for an entire year? I’d heard of limited two-for-one/BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) deals before, but this unlimited thing was new to me. On top…
Bad news for Amazon Prime fans: since 2014, you’ve been paying $99 a year for Prime but that price is about to jump to $119. That means you’ll be paying an extra twenty bucks for the same Prime services starting in the very near future. As of May 11th, new Prime members will be paying…
I’ll admit it: I’ve become a little bit obsessed with getting free wifi on airplanes. It’s not because I don’t think paying for wifi on planes is worth it — it is… sometimes. My problem is that JetBlue has found a way to offer free wifi to all of its passengers, Southwest charges $5 for…
I used to love Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Books when I was a kid. They were like literary hedge mazes that would bring me to the brink of disaster (why was a Yeti always trying to eat me?) and allow me to go back and make a new choice to save my own life and keep the story…
Who needs actual holidays when you’re the biggest shopping site in the world? That’s the thinking behind Amazon’s new Prime Day on July 15th. Prime Day is a chance to get major discounts on a ton of products across dozens of categories including electronics, toys, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports and outdoor items and…
Summer travel season is quickly approaching (I believe it unofficially starts on Memorial Day), so if your luggage has seen better days, it’s probably time to trade up. Luckily, Amazon is offering another fantastic luggage sale. The last one offered excellent deals and this one appears to be equally as good or better. The sale…
UPDATE: Groupon actually processed the return in the best way possible. The money is back in my account and they even gave me Groupon Bucks to make up for the trouble. I have no idea if it was a result of this post or not, but I’m pleasantly surprised with how the situation turned out.…
Friends, we are gathered here today to lay to rest Google Express. My free trial is now over, which means it has — quite literally –Â expired. While the service lives on in the hearts and homes of others, it has delivered its last box of Kleenex to me, which is ironic because I could…
You’re either a Costco person or you’re not. If you’re a Costco person, then you know the joy you feel when you walk into the warehouse and sense the massive deals you’re about to get. You marvel at the value of Costco products — all under the Kirkland Signature label — and eagerly stock up…
You’ve been waiting to buy a new suitcase and your wait is finally worth it. Amazon has launched a huge 20% sale for all of their luggage (some restrictions apply) and that means you can grab a new rollerboard for cheap — or cheaper at least. Even better: the sale comes with free returns. If…
Yesterday, I told you about my plan to get healthier in 2015. Health isn’t just about weight loss, though. January is the perfect time to commit to making every aspect of your life healthier, from food to exercise to something as simple as keeping your home cleaner and more organized. As an Amazon affiliate, I’m…
It’s the holidays and that means family time and presents and mirth (and myrrh), but it also means that things get a lot harder than normal. Parking spaces at the mall, putting together dinner, traffic — it’s all more difficult during the holiday season. As a result, I’m always on the lookout for things that…
The stock market can be a dangerous game, but with enough patience and a little know-how, it can also be very rewarding. I won’t be giving any stock tips here, but a little over a year ago I took advantage of a mileage bonus through Fidelity to get a chunk of miles just for opening…
If you’re a regular JetBlue True Blue flyer, get ready to start dancing in the streets. I just got an email from JetBlue announcing that they’re lowering their redemption minimum for True Blue flights from 5,000 points all the way down to 3,500. That’s a 30% reduction! Taxes and fees are $5.60 each way and…
