Welcome to my finance ramblings
Hi!
I’ve never really had an outlet to talk about credit cards, points, travel, and all the other things that somehow take up a concerning amount of my brain space. So… here we are.
Don’t worry, I think my default will be to leave the email notifications “Off” for most of the finance content I share. After all, do any of you care about it as much as I do?
Unfortunately for all of you (of which there are only a few right now), that means you’ll have to click one extra button to filter out my ramblings and stay focused on our food and travels.
My real “goal” is to share interesting finds and things I stumble upon from reading OTHER finance blogs that I actually think YOU should know about.
More importantly, I like to talk about my latest schemes - after all, we have a honeymoon coming up and over half of our hotel nights are free. (Actually, a hotel in Málaga is basically paying us to stay there.)
Colin’s Dad calls it “gaming” - well, the whole industry does… American Express has even added terms and conditions specifically referencing that word.
I don’t really have a true plan for what this section of our blog will look like. You bet I’ll put our various credit card referral links in any post applicable - after all, if I’m going to play the game, I may as well play it well.
If you’re one of the people who has ever said, “Hey Chris, you should do a PowerPoint on credit cards”… this is basically that.
Cheers,
Chris

SubscribeI’m in Malaga right now. I want someone to pay me to stay. 🩷
lol the Gran Hotel Miramar in Málaga is an Amex FHR property and each night there was about $350. We have three $300 credits from our platinum cards, plus $100 food + beverage credit per night, plus $60 breakfast credits per night. I think the math works out as we pay $1,050 for three nights and get $1,380 in credits. Plus 12PM checkin, 4PM checkout is a nice bonus.
I want to hear more about you getting paid to stay somewhere? Do they think you guys are celebrities or something?
