| 1/22/2021 | Credit Cards | I can refer you to a no annual fee 100,000 points Hilton HHonors personal card. Click here in a private window. This should get you at least one night in a Hilton property. I find these properties most useful for recovering from jet lag the first night, before moving on to more charming and/or less expensive places. |

Interesting financial ploy: AARP members can earn a rate on a Marcus by Goldman Sacks account that is 0.10% higher that the stated APY on marcus.com for 24 months. That stated rate is currently 0.5%, giving 0.6%, a 20% increase, to those accepting the AARP offer. This is an FDIC insured account
I find AARP to be super valuable for travel and many, many other discounts. |

Possibly very good Swagbucks offer. Enter Home Chef in your Swagbucks search box. Home Chef is a weekly meal delivery service featuring chef-prepared recipes, fresh ingredients & step-by-step instructions delivered straight to your door. Earn 3,500 SB when you subscribe.* Plus, by clicking on the offer the $90 off code, PRODEGEJAN, will automatically be applied to your order! That's $30 off your first box, $30 off your second box, and then $15 off your third and fourth boxes.
Please tell me about your experience with this offer, especially about the economics of it. Swagbucks provides "Bucks" for searches, entering special SwagCodes (I tell you how to easily find them), doing a daily one question survey (often fun), shopping, referring others, interacting on Swagbuck's Facebook page, commenting on Swagbucks's blog, and other stuff. Bucks can be redeemed for a very large selection of gift cards and other goodies. I value one buck at 1.4 cents each when I wait for the monthly sale of Amazon or Visa gift cards. Very easy small amount of money. Read my write-up on the program here. |

| 12/22/2020 | Credit Cards | The PenFed Pathfinder Rewards Visa Credit Card is interesting for PenFed Honors Advantage Members (to be eligible for this you must be a military member or holder of PenFed’s Access America checking account) for its offer of 50,000 bonus points when you spend $3,000 on the card in the first 90 days. It appears that those points are worth $425. Also 4x points on all travel purchases for PenFed Honors Advantage Members, 3x Points on on all travel purchases for regular members, and 1.5x Rewards on everything else. You would be better off with a 2% cash back card for those everything else purchases. Doctor of Credit does a good job of describing this card and provides a link to it. |
| 12/18/2020 | Other Programs I Like | Guest Opinion Rewards offers 1,250 Hilton HHonors points for joining and completing your first survey. There are many survey programs for airlines and hotels that offer good bonuses for first use. After that, I find them too time consuming for what they offer, unless I am disparate for a few miles or points to keep my account alive. But beware using these for that purpose: It can take up to 3 months for credit to post for some of these. Others can post overnight. |

Some bloggers are saying that the excellent Chase Sapphire Preferred 80,000 Ultimate Rewards points offer will expire November 7,2020. This may be true, or perhaps it simply be no longer available to them to earn commission. Either way, I suggest grabbing this one if you can.
