Points an Deals Update

1) An interesting post on FTG blog on using Hyatt certificates from the sign-up bonus for all-inclusive resorts, including the one in Los Cabos for up to 4 people. I thought, the kids cost extra, but apparently not when using credit card certificates. Chase Hyatt card does not pay me commission. Hmm, I’m tempted to […]

Yep, back to my old tricks! I saw my friend and fellow blogger Dia mention that all-inclusive is not a good deal for a family. And so this post was born. I realize, all-inclusive and a middle-class family usually don’t go hand in hand. And that’s too bad, because it’s very much an achievable goal. […]
