At the end of last year, I wrote a post about the best credit cards for military members. Since then, there have been a couple changes, so I thought I’d update the post. As before, I’m not taking into account signup bonuses, only benefits and category bonuses. Credit cards are the easiest and fastest…
As I’ve mentioned many times before, one of the coolest benefits for military members are the credit card benefits given to us as required by the Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which include waiving fees such as late payment, foreign transaction, and overdraft fees. There is not a requirement that credit card companies waive annual…
Just to pick on my young co-author, Andy, for a minute. I asked Andy about AFRC and he just said “what’s that”? I was shocked as I thought every Service Member knew about the Armed Forces Recreation Centers (AFRC) and what a great deal they were. Shows what happens when you assume. My family and…
My wife and I just got back from two days at Caesar’s Atlantic City; our son is at his grandparents, so we thought we’d get away for two days to the shore. This is not a review of the hotel, because honestly I don’t think we’d go there again. It was nice enough, but Atlantic…

I went over a little of Lima and Cusco in the first installment of my trip report. Unfortunately, we only had 7 days in Peru, and wanted to see several different sights, so I didn’t really get immersed that much in the cities. For more thorough looks at these places, check out Scott at Milevalue’s…
Andy: I’m back! My wife and I just got back from a Spring Break vacation down to to South America. We decided that if we get stationed overseas, it would be harder to visit there, so we might as well do it now while we’re still in the States and closer. I booked us business…
In the first part I went over our trip there. Now onto what you really wanted, which is what we did when we got there! Of note, it rained almost continually for the four days we were there. First off, our room in the Best Western Mozart was in a good area, in the NW…
Welcome to a new year and the start of the yearly race to make your goals for 2014 whether they are to make a certain status level or just to save up enough for a fantastic trip you have planned. Last year I gave out Ten Tips that proved very popular and so I am…
