Get those few extra dividend miles before they are gone for good

I am referring to my Chase Marriott visa. I have a real dilemma on my hands and have to make a decision soon. Last year I got Chase Marriott credit card mostly for the bonus. We got tremendous value out of it, booking award hotel nights for my parents in Moscow before and after their […]

I wish I could say that all you need to do to travel well is sign up for a few credit cards. And voila, your whole family is  flying to Tahiti on award tickets in business class (BTW, almost impossible to pull off).While collecting bonuses is easier  than people realize and very lucrative, more is […]
