I might be moving on from Amex gold. Planning a trip, and Amex point redemptions are more expensive than Chase for flight/hotels by a long shot. This always seems to be the case when I compare too. I also tried booking a rental car on Amex. That process is a joke. Their website wouldn’t let me u...

Yes, very slow on Xbox One. I’ve played career on easy to get the feel and to start off. It’s certainly way easy and I plan to up the difficulty. What I have noticed about winning equipment or clothing from a contract is that it doesn’t really seem to be any better than what you start with. Is t...

I have been playing on career mode. Haven’t played this type game since Tiger 2005. I like it so far, but only played a couple TPC courses, and I think the others are fake. The upgrade ability, or lack there of is very different than the old school building a character and selecting attributes to...

There are vastly more flight deals out of hubs that they send. The more competition the better too. JFK is always popping up for deals. ...

Non hub city here, but premium member here, Memphis. Trick is to wait for a destination you are interested in visiting. I pretty much only consider nonstops at this point. Once you have narrowed down, you then search for a “positioning flight” and would pay with points. Example: I see a nons...

He’s great. The details and history he knows of each county, which ways they lean, etc. is fascinating. And always cracks me up when Wolf is there talking to camera and you can see King in the background doing his thing. Just keeps studying the board no matter what. All night. ...

I bought an Orbi on Amazon Prime Day. Just returned it today. Second shite experience with a Netgear product. I lost signal quite often, even being right next to the main router hub. Sometimes I’d only be a few feet away and would have 2/3 bars signal. I did a little research online and seems oth...
