Journaling The Journey
A huge part of our travel hacking hobby is collecting credit card rewards through credit card sign up bonuses. We have about 40 credit cards between the two of us. What!? 40 cards! But what about your good credit score? It must be terrible? Actually, our scores are very good. In the 800’s. Once you […]
Recently we overheard a woman talking about buying a fake flight ticket to satisfy the onward travel ticket check. Well, we had to start chatting with her to find out what she was talking about! Fake flight ticket? What is that? First she shared her travel style with us. It is to work hard, save […]
Your Credit Card Account Is Scheduled To Be Closed! Scary heading to see when you open your email. Recently I received this message in the subject line from my bank.

Since we sold our house a few years back and now live exclusively out of hotels it is important that we save as much as we can. After all this is kinda our mortgage so to get 25% off is a nice discount. Hotels.com has a rewards program that gives a free night after 10 […]
Nowadays online shopping is the way that most of us shop, right? It is so much easier than going to a store and picking out the items that we need. The stores are busy and don’t always have exactly what we need. Yet online – well there we have so many options and it is […]
