I have three United GPUs available through a generous donor. They expire on 31 Jan., but that just means you need to apply them by then, not fly. For international travel, you have to be in W class or higher, but they are good for any domestic fare class. Please send me your PNR (record locator) and…
We are all familiar with the great USO system at numerous airports around the country. I am here to tell you about a non-USO lounge at DTW (Detroit) that is just as good as any USO. Named the Freedom Center it is a privately run lounge paid for through donations. The volunteers are just as enthusiastic…
Although the credit card scene has for a long time been dominated by the giants like Amex, Chase, and Citi, over the past several years Barclaycard has really started to establish itself as a major player. My first Barclaycard was the US Airways World Mastercard (nonaffilitate link), which was 35k after first purchase (now 40k after…
Via The Points Guy, himself via Johnny Jet, there is an incredibly lucrative (and probably time-sensitive) link to a 75k Citi Executive AAdvantage card! The link is here.

So far we’ve gone over how to get benefits on our credit cards, utilizing the generous bank’s interpretation of the Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act (SCRA). We’ve seen how to get annual fees and late fees waived on American Express cards, Chase cards, and Capital One cards if you’re in the military – nominally Active…
After applying for benefits from Capital One, under the requirements of the Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act for my prior No Hassle Rewards Visa Signature card, I quickly received word that I qualified. I didn’t expect any more follow up from that, and as I don’t expect to apply for a Capital One card anytime…
A guest post from MAJ Brian MAJ Brian (last name held per his request) read my post on best travel gifts, and our recent post on travel tips, and got inspired. He reached out to us, and we offered a guest post. So, here are his ideas for travel gear and exercise tips while travelling:…
Thanks for all those who posted their own tips. I randomly picked a winner from the nine submissions and came up with number one – Kim! Congratulations Kim. Email me your UA Record Locator and your last name and I will be happy to apply the GPUs. Reminder that the flight has to be W…
