Alright, so I am trying a few more of the discounts. Let’s see how they do with rental cars. I need a rental car for about a week when I go to my daughter’s graduation from Johns-Hopkins in May. I need full week because I’ve got to help her buy a car and move to her…
To read the latest on the Veterans Advantage Card, please go here. I have to admit that I am one of those guys who follows the old rule “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. So when I came across the Veterans Advantage Card on the Deals & Offers tab on…
There was a lot of press lately about the FAA, under pressure from Congress, raising the nuber of hours pilots must be allowed to rest between flights. For years, the rule was eight hours of rest before flying and, starting Dec 2013, it will be raised to ten. This was a result of several crashes…
While most hotels have a military discount, here is the only chain that I know if with an actual military club you can join to gain additional benefits.

To all my followers (all three of you), I apologize for not posting a lot lately. I am working with the airlines to get a list of military benefits, but the airlines are so slow to respond. They obviously do not realize who I am! In the meantime, I thought I would solicit whatever questions…
When I could be sitting on a beach in Hawaii where I live? The easy answer is that if I was in Hawaii, I would be adding 2 miles to my car instead of 20,000 miles to my United account! All this for $390 each for my wife and I to travel to an exotic…
I’ve been contacted by an international call service called Nymgo to tell everyone about their promotional contest that will award five free trips to various countries around the globe.
