Contacting Me

I’ve heard from a few people that they “were trying to reach me for months” and never heard back. This confused me, since I respond to all emails. It might take a day or two, but I always reply. There is a big “Contact Me” link on the right side of this page with my email address. I didn’t understand the confusion, but I’m pretty sure I just figured it out. When you click that link, it will compose a message to an email address with “REMOVE_THIS_PART” included. You need to actually remove that part of the email address before clicking send. Awkward silence. And moving on. My Facebook link is also on the right side of the page and I reply to messages there pretty much daily. I don’t think I’m ever going to add comments here, but I am pretty easy to reach. Hope that helped some of you!

Monday Funday

  • Enter IHG’s latest version of The Big Win. The promo offers will vary, but you earn a bunch of hotel points by meeting challenges.
  • A 100% bonus for buying US Airways miles through Friday.
  • Other purchase bonuses for Christmas are 50% more JetBlue and 25% more SPG points.

Winter Bonus From RocketMiles

Grab 5,000 bonus miles on stays of 3 nights or more. This is a winter promo, so the stays have to be before April. One thing I’ve learned in this game is to be loyal to the good guys, and ignore (or rant against) the bad ones. I’ll continue to support RocketMiles and root for their success. Good, honest people who will only continue to get better. MileNerd out!

Top 25 Corrections

As always, I get emails the day after a Top 25 Credit Cards post. Seems like I’m missing 2 every time lately…

  • The possible 50,000-point Amex Premier Gold card that I myself mentioned last month. Duh.
  • A link for a 75,000 point Hilton Surpass card, rather than the 60,000 point offer.

Good Reads

Today, I feel like getting down with some OPP (uh…other people’s posts). I was sent 2 of these 3 posts by reader Nancy and was really impressed with them all:

  • Credit card showdown here. Sapphire vs. Arrival.
  • American-US Airways merger thoughts.
  • Buying money orders with debit cards overview.
