Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. A few days ago, Frequent Miler wrote a post about a new Citi Merchant Offer for InKind and I wanted to test it out before writing about the deal. Now through February 29, there is a widely available Citi Merchant Offer for InKind that is offering a $25 statement credit after spending $50 or more. I am a huge fan of InKind and have written many posts about the service over the last year (view InKind posts). If you 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 (you should be able to stack a new account bonus with the Citi Merchant Offer). If you an existing InKind members, keep reading for more info on how to stack a few InKind deals together.

My Overly Ambitious 2024 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions
Good morning everyone, I hope your holiday season is going well. Yesterday, I wrote The Results Are In! My Wild & Crazy 2023 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions. In that post, I shared how my 2023 predictions did (spoiler: not great). But I am not deterred because 2024 is a new year and I have several new predictions that are surely to come true. Without further ado, here are my predictions for 2024:
My 2024 Airline Predictions
- Alaska Airlines or Southwest Airlines will introduce a “family pooling” benefit for miles or travel credit.
- American Airlines will allow Web Special awards to be changed online (currently, they can only be cancelled).
- British Airways will add another airline (besides Finnair) to the Avios family.
- Delta will change their 15% SkyMiles discount for Delta credit cards holders.
- United will allow you to combine multiple travel bank funds and future flight credits for the same reservation.
10 Buy Miles / Points Promos Ending Soon: United (100%), Alaska (50%), Southwest (50%), LHW (100%), IHG (100%), Wyndham (40%), Air Canada (20%), Avianca (175%), Hilton (100%) & Virgin Atlantic (70%)
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 10 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 10 offers that end soon.
Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase. This offer expires today – December 22.
I Paid $4,807 in Credit Card Annual Fees in 2023 – Was it Worth it?
Good evening everyone, I hope your holiday season is going well. With the end of the year right around the corner, I decided to publish my 2023 version of credit card annual fees I paid this year. For comparison, here are my previous credit card annual fee posts:
- I Paid $4,588 in Credit Card Annual Fees in 2019 – Was it Worth it?
- I Paid $3,820 in Credit Card Annual Fees in 2020 – Was it Worth it?
- I Paid $3,009 in Credit Card Annual Fees in 2021 – Was it Worth it?
- I Paid $4,043 in Credit Card Annual Fees in 2022 – Was it Worth it?
For this year’s post, I decided to break up the list of credit cards into 5 sections:
- New credit cards with sign up bonuses
- Credit cards with retention offers
- Credit cards that have been upgraded / downgraded / product changed
- Annual fees saved on closed credit cards
- All other credit cards
