I don’t like to value miles because the logic behind it doesn’t make sense. However, if I had to value each point, my methodology would be what I can consistently get as an alternative. I ignore specific outliers and scenarios, as well as arbitrary assumptions on how much miles and point are worth. Valuing a…

Priority Pass Australia Adds Restaurants in Brisbane and Sydney
Priority Pass has its faults, but it is one of the best lounge access tools. The best credit card for lounge access in Canada is the American Express Platinum Card. It comes with a free full Priority Pass membership, permitting unlimited access along with one guest. If you fly three roundtrips a year with one connection each…
Avoiding Foreign ATM Fees
I rarely take out money when abroad, as I try to keep all my purchases on credit cards. Since I’ve always had accounts that levied steep fees for ATM withdrawals, I’ve always exchanged money in advance of my travel. Unfortunately, you generally get rates between 1.5-5% less than the interbank/market rate depending on the establishment…
Loungebuddy $10 Promotion off First Booking

It’s the only app that lists all the lounges at airports and determines what access you have given your flight details and any…

However, I was surprised by how many of my friends didn’t have NEXUS. Hopefully, this guide will explain why you should get NEXUS and the application process.…

A Wheel Dilemma…
I am looking for new luggage – it’s not that my spinners are worn out, but I’m looking for something new. I definitely want a spinner preferably with a built-in TSA lock. I’m not a big fan of formal wear and neither do I need a lot of space, so I don’t need the garment…
Amazing Timelapse of HKG/NYC
I love big cities, and I love skylines, so this video that I saw this morning is absolutely breathtaking and worth sharing. My parents are from Hong Kong, so I know the city fairly well (although not as well as a local). Hong Kong from the Star Ferry is lovely and all that, but it’s…
