Here is another little round up of things I’ve found interesting recently. Make sure you let me know if you like these little round ups or not.
- The American Express Blacklist Explained & Strategies For Removal by Miles to Memories. Very good article and well worth a read even if you’re not on the blacklist, compulsory reading if you are.
- Free Internet Rules for 2015 across major hotel brands. It’s kind of ridiculous that I can stay at a $10/night hostel room and get in room WiFi but when I pay $200+ some chains still want to charge me for WiFi use. This is why I hate chain hotels and will avoid them whenever possible. Soon they will be advertising free color television. Still this is a useful reference article.
- Switching between Bluebird, REDbird, and Serve by Frequent Miler. I think I must be the only blogger still using Serve and patiently waiting for Softcard to start offering some promotions again.
- FREEBIE: Get $72 Credit from Carmel Car and Limo Service by Will Run For Miles. Seems relatively easy, who has used this service before? Is $72 enough for a completely free ride?
- “Federal regulations and some customer abuse” by Pfdigest. As PFD notes, it’s surprising that they had to make changes to this rewards checking account that only offers 2% APY on up to $25,000. There are a lot better options out there.
- Pure Speculation: Chase Is ReEvaluating All Hotel Credit Cards by Chasing The Points. I don’t agree that this is pure speculation. Basically Hyatt are also sending out customer surveys regarding credit card changes. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s seem strange that Chase is streamlining some of the credit cards offered (e.g Southwest) and then on the other hand considering adding more product skews with their hotel products.
- 10 Free Rides From Lyft by Mile Nerd.
- Free Chick-fil-A Coffee for February by Heels First Travel. I dislike Chil-Fil-A a lot.
- Becoming a Seller by Matt from Saverocity.
