- The exact value of CNB Crystal Visa Infinite Points by Frequent Miler. The more expensive a flight gets, the better value you get because you’re paying a fixed $15 fee. I don’t think booking hotels ever makes sense, even if the prices aren’t inflated remember it’s very easy to get bigger discounts elsewhere.

- Target’s Shipt Will Expand To Deliver All Major Product Categories by PYMNTS.
- Home Alone Again with the Google Assistant. This is far too much ad vs humor for my liking, but I’m going to give it a pass because it’s Christmas and Home Alone is one of the greatest movies of all time.

Very disturbing article about Amazon.
Interesting/disturbing article about Amazon. I’d seen smaller articles about some of that before, but a lot of it was fresh.
The Prime and Punishment article was fantastic. Thanks for sharing doc
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it
Shipt is a complete ripoff. Ordered two items $100. They include a receipt for $80! Duck you shipt.

Home Alone 2 inspires. “Credit card, you got it!”
“What’s the matter? Store wouldn’t take your . . . stolen credit card?”
