My Valuation of Miles and Points

February 10, 2014 By Leana 4 Comments

Originally, I planned to evaluate each mile and point program individually. However,  at the end of the day, this will only be my personal opinion. So, please, take it as such. Your value may differ from mine significantly, and that is perfectly fine. Even though my blog is quite opinionated, I truly believe that in […]

Yes, Chase Sapphire Preferred can be a keeper

January 27, 2014 By Leana 9 Comments

My main quest (obsession) with this blog is to put together the best list of “keeper” credit cards for a family like mine.  The truth is, most ordinary families I know will not be getting more than a few sign-up bonuses per year at most. The quest will evolve as things change. So, what I […]

VRBO is like a box of chocolates

January 22, 2014 By Leana 1 Comment

I am a huge fan of sites like VRBO and Greatrentals and consider them superior alternatives to a hotel for family travel. Let’s face it, it’s way better to have a house with separate bedrooms than squeeze 4 to 5 people into one  room. Other advantages are: kitchen and usually washer and dryer. But there are some […]

Miles and points, sellout, Vancouver island

January 3, 2014 By Leana 2 Comments

  As you have figured out by now, this will be a place for me to do my kinder, gentler rants/vents. Since this is a three part post, you can always skip this segment if you wish. The term “sellout blogger” is thrown around a lot in this industry. Many times undeservedly. So, I was […]

Meeting Minimum Spending Requirements for an Average Joe

December 30, 2013 By Leana 33 Comments

Ok, this  has nothing to do with intelligence level!  I’ve mentioned before that I don’t do any manufactured spending. A lot of people engage in this type of activity in order to be able to collect  several sign-up bonuses at once. Personally, I don’t recommend it for a regular family where both spouses have full-time jobs […]
