American Express offers a plethora of travel-related credit cards. In addition to co-brand cards (e.g. Delta SkyMiles Card, Marriott Bonvoy card, etc.), the company portfolio has an impressive lineup of flexible currency cards (Platinum, Gold, etc). However, what happens when…
One of the most misunderstood concepts about credit cards is understanding an annual fee. Often, I hear people say something like “I don’t like credit cards because you have to pay an annual fee.” It’s true. Some of the best credit cards do have an annual fee. However…
Travel hacking shouldn’t be exhausting. Sometimes, if you take a step back you’ll see there are discounts waiting to be taken advantage of sitting right in front of your face…
American Express Membership Reward points are (arguably) the most valuable points on the market. And the best way to obtain MR points is by obtaining a card that earns the transferrable currency. Personally, I love using the American Express…
One thing that I love about American Express are their transfer bonuses and right now they are offering two interesting bonuses to Hilton and Marriott Hotels.
