A quick note about some new content on the site and a reshuffling of the header bar. First, I took down the link to the page about how I value points, since this post hasn’t aged well (in my opinion). It was one of the first things I wrote on the blog, and it’s way moreContinue reading “Hello new credit card page, good-bye stupid article about how I value points.”

It worked! I had a Morgan Stanley Amex Platinum! (2022 Update)
[2022 Update: whew what a completely tranquil and uneventful four years it has been since I originally wrote this post!

Anyway, I’mContinue reading “It worked! I had a Morgan Stanley Amex Platinum! (2022 Update)”
Am I too hard on the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme, or just the right amount of hard?
I stayed at the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme (PHPV, or “HPV” for short) for six nights back in 2016, and it was okay.

Are you having panic attacks over Chase devaluing the IHG free anniversary night? Here are some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques that may help.
In the extremely unlikely event that you haven’t already read it elsewhere, Chase sent out letters to IHG cardholders today stating that as of May 1st, the free anniversary night benefit will be restricted to hotels costing 40,000 points or less. This is a significant devaluation to what may have been the single best benefitContinue reading “Are you having panic attacks over Chase devaluing the IHG free anniversary night?
