I have to apologize to all our readers for my post yesterday (this is Andy, not COL Glenn, BTW). As you may know, I have another blog over at Saverocity, called Millitary Finance, which is more personal finance stuff than frequent flying. There is also a forum there, with a particularly popular subforum about manufactured…
EDIT: THE MODERATOR AT SAVEROCITY HAS ASKED ME NOT TO EMAIL YOU, AND SINCE THAT’S WHERE I GOT THE TRICK, I WILL OF COURSE COMPLY. PLEASE SIGN UP AT THE SAVEROCITY FORUMS TO ACCESS IT, AS I AM NOT GOING TO INDEPENDENTLY REVEAL IT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MIX-UP. We all know how awesome…
You may remember that we first told you about using Loyal3 as an alternate way of manufactured spending now that Vanilla Reloads and even Vanilla Visa Cards are being denied for that purpose at CVS and Wal-Mart. Loyal3 is a way to buy stocks using a credit card and then selling the stocks a day…
I received a follow up email from Chase about the 10 best military credit cards – it came from Alexis Martin, from Chase Communications and Public Affairs.

My first Barclaycard was the US Airways World Mastercard (nonaffilitate link), which was 35k after first purchase (now 40k after…
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…
Yet another bank is giving benefits to military cardholders under the auspices of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). First I reported about how to get your American Express annual fees waived, and then I wrote about how to get your Chase annual fees waived, both under the benefits provided by the SCRA. Now I’ve…
Since I’m on a top 10 kick, I might as well write the post that most people want me to write, and that topic is credit cards! Credit cards are the easiest and fastest way to rapidly accumulate miles and points (or cash back), and is a major part of the overall strategy of cheap…
