this is a sponsored post For the past year, I’ve been telling you about DOSH. It’s the cash-back app that gives you free money every time you use a linked credit card. Pretty much the “set it and forget it” version of the money-saving apps on the market. Anyway, I wanted to share my most…

Save Big at Chili’s and Papa John’s Without Coupon Codes
[This is a sponsored post.] If you’re a big fan of Chili’s (I am) and Papa John’s (I am not), this is pretty great news. My favorite cash-back app DOSH just added both Chili’s and Papa John’s to their roster and that means you can save money every single time you eat at either place…
Banking Nightmare: Chase Glitch Gives Online Access to Random People
Have you ever wondered what would happen if hackers got into your bank account? What if YOUR BANK ITSELF let someone into your account? While hackers may be scary, the scarier prospect is your bank’s online system allowing access to random people. As of this afternoon, that’s actually what happened to my fiancee. According to…
Give Yourself a Christmas Refund with Dosh [sponsored]
Holiday gift-giving got the dollars in your bank account looking lonely? DOSH has you covered. They’re giving you $15 for EVERY PERSON YOU REFER (who then links a credit card). For the uninitiated, Dosh is an app that gives you cash back for doing nothing more than using your credit card at restaurants, hotels, and…
$15 is Great, but $15 x Infinity is Even Better [ad]
A holiday poem in honor of the best DOSH offer yet (skip to the end if you just want the translation): As the turkeys get brined and recipes refined, let us all give thanks (while we wear holiday-themed Spanx). While Dosh’s new offer may dare to seem more than fair, the fine folks in Texas aren’t conspiring…
Give Yourself a Bonus for Business Travel [sponsored]
Tired of hearing about DOSH yet? I’m not. I love this app. If you’re a business traveler, I legitimately think you could supplement your income significantly by using Dosh. Check out my previous post on the subject here, but the bottom line is that you can register a company card on Dosh, then use the…
#DoshNow? Dosh… Later [sponsored]
One of the joys of Dosh is the immediacy of getting your cash back. In fact, this month the fine people at Dosh are encouraging us to spread the love of #DoshNow, a hashtag that identifies the exact moment you get your free cash back. In previous Dosh posts, I’ve talked about how amazing it…

This is a sponsored post. What if I told you that I discovered a way to get your boss to give you a raise without doing anything? You don’t have to ask for it. You don’t have to talk to anyone. You just get more money for doing your job. Sound good? You bet it…
Your Next Favorite Cash Back App is DOSH [sponsored post]
You like free money, right? We all do. While pennies from heaven sounds nice in theory, the reality is that we’d all wind up with a lot of welts and bruises if coins started raining down on us. Pennies have a lot of velocity, right? Instead of hoping for a meteorological fortune to fall your…
The Definitive List of the Best Foods at Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s is a cult that happens to focus on groceries instead of, say, celestial utopias. Unlike the cults that promise eternal life on Saturn, TJoe’s offers great prices, free samples, and a kitschy explorer theme. If you live near one, I can almost guarantee that you’ve joined the cult (Welcome! We’re so happy to…
You’ve Been Using Escalators Wrong
After discovering this news, I’m like 95% sure that my entire world is shattered. Get ready because I’m about to shatter yours, too. You know how you’re supposed to stand on the right and walk on the left when you’re on an escalator? Apparently that’s completely wrong, according to the head of DC’s Metro system.…
Is This the Best Paleo Traveling Snack?
Fly&Dine started as a blog about food while you travel and I mostly covered meals, but every now and then I’d post a story about the unsung hero of traveling: snacks. This is kind of backwards, because while meals are definitely important, I’d say most of my travel days (by air, at least) focus much more…
In Defense of the Bidet
If you’ve ever traveled to Asia, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced the glory of the bidet. I used a bidet for the first time a few years back and I’m hooked. In fact, I was so impressed that I bought one for my home toilet. I even bought one for my dad. My review:…
