Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday. A few months ago, I was in Southern California and driving my Hertz rental car to Disneyland when a small rock struct my windshield, causing a long crack on the driver’s side of the windshield. I’ve never had to file an in insurance claim for a rental car before, so this was a new experience for me. In this post, I will share details of the claims process and what I learned along the way, so if you are ever in a similar situation, you know what to expect.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end this month. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are 5 offers that end soon.
Up first, Southwest Airlines is offering up to a 50% discount, depending on the number of Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points you purchase. This offer expires today – February 23.
Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great Presidents’ Day Weekend. Long story short, I realized my Bank of America checking account debit card expired in July 2022 and Bank of America never sent me a replacement debit card (until I requested a new debit card in February 2024). Let me provide more background info, in case you are curious.
I opened the Bank of America checking account in July 2018 when Bank of America was offering a $150 new account bonus. Bank of America is not my primary bank, but I kept the checking account opened for several years because I had 2 Bank of America Better Balance Rewards Credit Cards (RIP old friends) that provided a quarterly bonus for having a Bank of America checking account. After Bank of America discontinued the Better Balance Rewards cards and product changed them to Unlimited Cash Rewards cards in May / June 2023, there was less of a reason to keep my Bank of America checking account.
I had my Bank of America debit card in my ApplePay Wallet all of those years and took my Bank of America debit card internationally when I travelled, in case I needed to get cash. For the last 1.5 years, I had no idea that my debit card was expired and I never received any notice from Bank of America or in my ApplePay Wallet.
Good morning everyone, happy Friday and happy Presidents’ Day Weekend. If you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner plans this weekend, check your InKind app for their new promotion called $25 on Us. You can get a $25 discount on your next $50 bill and the promo expires on March 31, 2024, so you have 1.5 months left to redeem. Last month, I stocked up on InKind credits due to $65 InKind Credit for $27 (Stack $25 Citi Merchant Offer, $13 InKind Bonus & Maybe 160 JetBlue Points). If you are new to InKind, you can use my referral link which will give you a $25 reward bonus after you spend $50 or more with InKind.
To find the reward, open your InKind app and look for the Reward section. Clicking that should take you to the Rewards tab where you should see the $25 on Us promo.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Valentine’s Day! I started working on this post about 2 months ago, but totally forgot to finish. Stephen at Frequent Miler wrote a post about transferring IHG points for free to other IHG members, but only if the member sending the IHG points was an IHG Diamond Elite Member or if they were an IHG Business Rewards Member. Laura and I are both IHG Platinum Elite Members (thanks to having the Chase IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card), but Laura was able to become an IHG Business Rewards Member easily online (I have been an IHG Business Rewards Member for at least a year).
To get started, she signed into her IHG online account and went through the process to become an IHG Business Rewards Member. Continue reading to learn more about transferring IHG points to another member and how long the points transfer took.
