How to Relive Your Favorite Vacation
Think back to your favorite vacation. What do you remember? If you’re anything like me, it’s a specific moment. Even more likely, it’s a specific sensory experience: the smell of the plumeria as you walk through Kauai; the sound of the mosquitos along a river in Bali; the brilliant turquoise of the water in St.…
When $.13 Means So Much More
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…
The Secret to Getting Food and Liquids Through TSA
I was going to let the whole Chrissy Teigen/Emotional Support Casserole story skate by without comment, but it made me think about how foods are classified by the TSA and why certain foods can get through while others are rejected and destined for the trash can. I went on a research mission and came back with…
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…
To Park Hyatt Tokyo or Not To Park Hyatt Tokyo?
I’m planning our honeymoon next November and choosing the location was easy: Tokyo. I’ve been saving up my AAdvantage miles for years and getting two First Class tickets on JAL in their amazing Sky Suite seems like a perfect use of 320,000 miles (I hope…). Now come the hard part: where to stay. Multiple friends…

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).

6 Things to Know About Your Buenos Aires Vacation
I just got back from my first vacation to Buenos Aires and I was blown away by how different it was from my expectations. While I knew there would be plenty of beef and Malbec involved, I had no idea that Bs.As. (see? I’m a local now) had much more in common with New York…
$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…
A Plea to Southwest…
Last week I flew out of Burbank for the first time in ages. Southwest operates roughly 7 million flights out of the diminutive Terminal A and I’ve grown to love Southwest the same way I love chicken fingers. They both don’t try to be anything they’re not. They’re not dressing themselves up as some sort…
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…
Brussels Airport Sprouts Major Security Annoyance
Are you a well-seasoned traveler? Do you give yourself plenty of time to get to your gate after you clear security so you won’t miss your flight? If so, Brussels Airport has a message for you: we will defeat you by springing surprise passport checks on you just before you reach your gate. Also, they…
DOUBLE CASH BACK with Dosh! Act fast! [sponsored]
Attention! Attention! Dosh, the app that I regularly crow about, is offering double cash back from now until September 24th for nearby offers. That means the free money you normally get just by registering your credit card is now double free money. So if they’re already giving out free cash, why would they need to…
