The corona virus is the hottest news topic lately. This post isn’t to discuss the Corona 19 virus but to discuss how it is affecting travel and travel costs. I have a trip to Las Vegas on 3/19 – 3/24. Because March Madness is going on, rental car prices were pretty high. I was around […]

Chase Southwest Premier Business credit card bo...
The 80,000 mile bonus on this card is ending tomorrow, 10/16/19. Since this is a fairly new card and this is the highest sign up bonus ever for the SWA business card family, I don’t expect this one to return. The best business card, the Southwest Performance Business Card, comes with a different range of benefits, […]
Better than a casino comped meal?
Even though this deal is no longer available, I’m sure there will be similar opportunities in the future. The next time I see a promo like this, I will make sure to write about it in time for others to use it. We go to Carrabba’s restaurant occasionally. Carrabba’s is part of the Bloomin’ Brand […]
Found TITOs and credits, a new plan
I have discussed abandoned credits and found TITOs on the GWAE podcast in the past. Typically, if I find a few credits on a machine, I will cash out the ticket. If I find a significant amount on a machine, I will cash out the ticket and wait around for 15 minutes to see if […]
Caesars Rewards credit card
I have discussed the Caesars Rewards credit card on the GWAE podcasts before and my opinion has been that there are better credit cards out there. However, I recently received a mailed offer for the card and there are some increased benefits. There is no annual fee and you get 5 points for every dollar […]
New Southwest companion fare offer
I was looking through emails and saw one from Go To Travel Gal about a new way to earn Southwest Companion Fare. Southwest Companion fare allows you to have one person fly free on any Southwest flight you book, including frequent flier tickets. To me, it’s the best travel offer going. In the past you […]
Why I do what I do
I was asked on the GWAE radio show one time why I play for fairly low stakes ( mostly quarter video poker) in Las Vegas. I live in the Detroit area and flying to Las Vegas entails quite a bit of time and effort. My expected value on most trips is modest, definitely under $1000, […]
Autoslash update
I posted this as a comment under the Gambling with an Edge show on 7/19/18 where I mentioned autoslash, but thought I would post it here as well. In the past, I have recommended booking a rental car with one of the websites for rental cars (carrentals.com, expedia.com, Costco.com) and then putting that information into […]
A deal on Harrah’s Diamond card for 2018
This article will be about obtaining Harrah’s Diamond status for the rest of 2018. I won’t be addressing whether it is worthwhile to obtain Harrah’s Diamond status. Diamond status requires 15,000 Tier Credits. 1 Tier credit is $5 coin in on slots and $10 coin in on video poker. Now, there are several video poker […]
You say it’s your birthday?
Well, my birthday has arrived again and I looked through my birthday offers and found several that you can use in the Las Vegas area. My next trip coincides with my birthday so I will get to use birthday offers in Las Vegas. To get these offers, go to the company website, sign up on […]
