When is an Annual Fee Worth it For Most Regular Families?

June 25, 2014 By Leana 25 Comments

Nope, Chase Sapphire Preferred is NOT on the list. This topic comes up quite frequently on blogs in the industry. Usually, though, many cards that make the cut have lounge access and other perks I couldn’t care less about. I’ve said many times that low spenders and infrequent travelers should be very picky when renewing […]

All Is Well With Wells Fargo Propel

June 23, 2014 By Leana 4 Comments

When in Doubt, Use Your Hotel Points

May 21, 2014 By Leana 4 Comments

The best part about reserving hotel with points is that you can usually cancel  without penalty the day before the stay.
