Website Feedback Request

I got an email from reader Beth asking if I knew anything about a website called DoNotPay.

The short answer? Nope.

But it sure sounds interesting…

Apparently, this website claims to track flight/hotel reservations and “negotiate” a better deal when the price drops. As “the world’s first robot lawyer,” DoNotPay says they’ll fight for you without charging a cent.

Well, I’ve never heard of it, but I’d love to find out if this is the real deal or not. Great new service? Too good to be true? Somewhere in the middle? I have no idea.

So, if any of you guys take this for a spin, can you please let me know how your experience goes? I’d like to give Beth (and the rest of you) a better answer. Thanks!

 

Mid-March Sales

This week, the ever-present Alaska and Southwest sales are…present. Also available today are award sales from Delta (if you’re going to South America) and United (if you’re going to Hawaii). Just don’t trust those morons with your dog.

 

 

 

Southwest California Millions

Dear California:

Sure you have a history of droughts, earthquakes, painfully expensive real estate, absurd traffic, gang violence, severe fires, police brutality, high taxes, and Kardashians. Plus that whole falling into the ocean thing. But, hey, you also have the return of this fun daily contest from Southwest. Non-Californians can still enter for 100,000 points here.

10 Buck Rentals

Thanks to reader Jon for letting me know that Avis is advertising their $9.99 one-way car rentals again. Budget too. A free tank of gas and 150 miles for ten bucks is pretty strong if you find dates/locations that work. This can be a really good taxi/Uber alternative with pickups at the airport and dropoffs in the city. Or vice versa. Play around with the times too…it says the rentals are for 12 hours but sometimes you can plug in 24 hours and get it to work. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Gas

You can now earn or burn United miles at BP here. 200 bonus miles for the first time you get gas after registering.

While you’re registering for gas stuff, you can also get few bucks for connecting Shell to your Chase Pay account.

(By the way, it’s really hard for me not to tell 200 bad jokes about gas right now)

In fact, I used to tell fart jokes…until people told me they stink.

A lesser man might have discussed dinosaur farts and how they’re a blast from the past.

But, as a mature adult, I won’t be telling any of those types of jokes today.

Not even the one about an elderly couple at church.

How halfway through the service, the husband leaned over and whispered in his wife’s ear, “I just let out a silent fart. What do you think I should do?” The wife replied, “Put a new battery in your hearing aid.”

No, I refuse to tell any jokes like that today.
