- Chase Freedom Weekends Free $5 Food and Beverage Voucher at Madison Square Garden by Maximizing Money. Much better than their normal deal where you get $5 off at select food establishments, this can be used at any of them.
- United Introduces New Perk for Flying Kids! by Mommy Points. Neat little idea by United and anything that keeps more engaged and less crying/running rampant in the cabin is a good move in my books.
- Is it time to convert Discover Cash Back to miles? by Frequent Miler. I think I’m going to take advantage of this if I can claim the purchases as a tax expense, not sure how that will go when I’m using cash back to purchase gift cards to purchase product, but we’ll see what my accountant says. That would get my cost per mile/point under 1¢. Shame that the code for Southwest doesn’t count towards the companion pass, but oh well.
- Reseller’s Biggest Problem: OmniChannel by Chasing The Points. OmniChannel stuff is really fascinating to me, I think the biggest hurdle is having staff (and packing supplies) at stores you plan to use as a shipping hub that understand the importance of shipping. It’s very easy to centralize that and train a small number of staff, but once you put it in all stores (or even select stores) then it gets much more difficult. It’s no good just having one or two people being able to ship stuff per store if they don’t work full time hours, as the whole point of OmniChannel from a consumer perspective is shorter shipping times.
- Life and the Pursuit of Happiness by Travel Codex. Spending time with friends & family is something I don’t do nearly often enough. This post was a nice little reminder that I have all these ways to travel, yet I still don’t use them to facilitate more time with loved ones.
- Free Burrito From Chipotle! by Danny Deal Guru. Chipotle is disgusting in my humble opinion, but free is free.
- Free Jack In The Box Burger. Another free food item via Miles to Memories.
Man, I went to Chipotle exactly during the promotion time. Wish I had seen your post, although maybe you posted it after I went. Not my favorite place, but disgusting? No way.
yum, burgitos…
