I haven’t stayed at a Best Western in many, many years, but apparently, there are Best Western properties all over the world.  If you travel internationally, there might be a few Best Western locations that are very affordable.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!

2 Fremont Meetup Questions: Lunch or Dinner? In-N-Out or Five Guys?

Posted on by . 16 Replies

Good morning everyone, I am trying to finalize the details of my Bay Area Meetup, located in Fremont, CA this Saturday (February 7).  I have done a few meetups in SoCal, so I know that most people can make Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening and meeting up at a “fast food” burger restaurant makes paying for meals super easy.  No more splitting the bill 10+ ways.

2 Quick Questions: Would you Pay for Advanced MS Strategies? What is your Zipcode?

Posted on by . 64 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I just had 2 quick questions I wanted to run by you to get your feedback/opinion.  I really like what The Free-quent Flyer does in regards to his monthly blog subscription and what a few other bloggers do in regards to their weekly/monthly newsletter.  This is my thinking:

  • As a blogger, I have a responsibility to find deals and share those deals with my readers.
  • I also have the responsibility of not killing deals prematurely by drawing too much attention to various deals/tricks/loopholes.
  • There are many deals/tricks/loopholes that I discover over the course of the month that I do not post and that I only share with a very small group of people.
  • Some deals would be MS-related and some would just be simple cash back deals.
  • I would only share items that I discover and have personally tried.  I would not summarize ideas from other private forums.
  • I’m leaning toward a PayPal subscription, but I am not 100% sure on the implementation of the service (direct emails only or a password-protected section on this site?)
  • I will still continue to share normal everyday deals openly on my blog, nothing will change in those regards.

Good morning everyone, Evolve Money sent out an email update this morning regarding changes to their bill pay feature.  In recent months, Evolve Money let you pay all bills with Discover credit cards (link), then a month later, Evolve Money evolved changed and would only let you pay certain bills with a Discover credit card (link).  Today, Evolve Money will let you pay any bill with a Discover credit card, but they added a 3% bill pay fee.  In the process of checking out Evolve Money, I discovered that you could also add Visa and MasterCard credit cards and pay any bills, but the same 3% bill pay fee still applies.
