- Timeshare Strategies: A Successful Use of E-Plus by The Timeshare Guru. Timeshares seem like a whole other world, paying an extra $59 annually to have cancellation insurance (more or less) seems like a lot to me, but again timeshares aren’t my world.
- Delta changes the way fliers board planes by CNN.
- Dallas-bound flight returns to Seattle after human heart was left onboard by Seattle Times. Title speaks for itself.
- An annoying (but probably good) change to Visa gift cards from Staples.com by Freequent Flyer Book. As always some good discussion in the comments.

Sooooo, Simon is willing to ship activated cards with no tracking on the envelope, what’s the big deal here?
Also- how is Simon willing to do that? That just seems insane. It’s pretty close to mailing cash- what if something went wrong? Has anything ever gone wrong?
Thanks for posting that staples vgc note via ffbook…. With all the “free” or discounted deals for vgc & mcgc @ staples & OD, I haven’t had any recent interest in buying the $300 vgc from staples.com via snail mail, esp. with the 3% fee/expense….And now I’m even less inclined. (I used to have the security envelope arrive same day as the cards…. or not at all…. Calling was a hassle, but at least it was an option…. As you note, the “discussion” under the post is quite useful — in a pinch.
Do any shopping portals/cashback card-linked apps work on staples.com giftcards? Or the $5 off that come up from time to time?
