Notiflyr Haven’t heard of Notiflyr? You might not be alone, but that will likely change in the near future. It’s a company that offers cheap flight deals, and it’s going to be a big deal in the travel community. I’ve been tracking the best cheap flight deal websites in the world for years and Notiflyr

On Fire As the stock market started tumbling in the past couple of weeks, I thought more about my long term goals both in terms of points and in dollars. As a step toward saving money, I redeemed 1 million Chase Ultimate Rewards for cash. That cash-out was about the same time that I was
