Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well and that the weather is not too bad wherever you are. I just wanted to thank all the readers for making February my best month ever in terms of total page views. My goal for February was to break the 100,000 total page view mark, but I completely blew past that mark, finishing at 121,103 total page views! My goal for March is to go for 150,000 total page views.
Updated – 2/14/2015 at 5PM PST: Added more versions of the Allett (leather, velcro, and women’s versions) to the bottom of the post.
Good evening everyone, let me tell you about a cool wallet that I learned about at my recent OC Meetup. As we discussed gift cards and credit cards, an attendee pulled out his wallet and started looking for a specific card. Then another attendee pulled out his wallet and noticed that they had the same wallet. They both had the Allett, a super thin wallet capable of holding cash and up to 24 credit cards. I decided to buy an Allett and test it out myself (Amazon).
Good evening everyone, this post chronicles my day in the miles and points (and test driving) world. The first thing I did this morning was to sign up for a free CLEAR membership (similar to TSA PreCheck but only available at a few airports), thanks to Frequent Miler’s post. CLEAR only works at a few airports, SFO being one of them, so I thought I would check it out. The card does look pretty cool! I already have Global Entry / TSA PreCheck, so why do I need CLEAR? Great question, I’m still trying to figure that out…
Good afternoon everyone, I have 4 new AMEX Offers to share, a quick update regarding the Discover It Q1 cash back category (transportation) and my results using the United MileagePlusX app. First off, there is an awesome AMEX Offer to pay your AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, or Verizon cell phone bill. You can get 3 $10 statement credits when you make a payment of $75 or more toward your cell phone bill. There are also 3 AMEX Offers for Puritan’s Pride, Frette Fine Linen, and Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace (I have never heard of any of these merchants before).
Good evening everyone, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts from yesterday regarding my first Bay Area meetup in Fremont and my short trip to the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show. On Saturday afternoon, as I drove down to Fremont, it started pouring really hard. I didn’t know if I was going to make it to In-N-Out in time for the 12pm meetup or if anyone would show up. Luckily, by the time I made it to Fremont, the rain had stopped and the weather began to improve. As I waited outside on the tables, I was curious to see if anyone would show up.
