My Review of FTU Advanced San Diego and Tacos el Gordo

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Myself and approximately 200 other miles and points “collectors” gathered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego this past weekend.  We had several speakers from Boarding Area (Greg @ Frequent Miler, Ben/Lucky @ One Mile at a Time, Gary @ View from the Wing, Scott @ Travel Codex, and Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai) along with Mathew @ Upgrd.  The event began Friday night with a cocktail reception out on the lawn and it was my first chance to meet the other attendees.  I must confess, I had appetizers in the Regency Club before the reception and went back afterwards for some dessert.  The food in the Regency Club was very fresh and the desserts were delicious.

Redbird Reloads: Discover It Miles, Golden1 Platinum Rewards, or US Bank FlexPerks Credit Card?

Good afternoon everyone, before I begin, I wanted to remind everyone that my giveaway ends tonight at 8pm PST.  If you haven’t entered the giveaway yet, please do so.  Good luck to everyone!  With that said, let’s get to the topic that is on my mind today.

Lately, I have been thinking about the best way to reload my Redbird Cards.  Assuming I can only use credit cards for Redbird reloads (no gift cards), which credit card is the best for earning cash back?  Is the new “3% cash back” Discover It Miles credit card the best for Redbird reloads?
