Articles

CREDIT UNION CONCERNS FROM M.S. – Million Mile Guy

It is crazy that he sat down with the bank managers, was up front with them, they gave him the okay, and then still flagged his account down the road.  I guess it doesn’t really matter what you do once the money starts coming in.

How Wow Air’s Demise May Impact Overtourism in Iceland – Travel Pulse

I know many feel like Iceland is way too overcrowded with tourists so this may be a blessing in disguise. But WOW’s cheap airfares drove a lot of tourism to the country and helped Iceland pull out of financial collapse a decade ago.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

How Much Do Flight Attendants Get Paid For Pushing Credit Card Applications? – Doctor of Credit

I found this pretty interesting as I assume many of you will.  That could be a nice income stream for the FAs. I have only ever seen one person take them up on it and it was on Spirit which has a terrible card, but I bet they get a few applications each day.

South Carolina college student murdered after getting into car she thought was her Uber: cops – NY Daily News

This is so sad and it is something I have been seeing more and more often.  Especially human traffickers trying to grab girls.  Please be sure to check the plates on the car and have them say your name before getting in.  I got in the wrong Uber in NYC because the last 2 digits of the license plate were different.  The make, color, and most of the plate matched perfectly so be diligent.  And even if you do everything right you can still get a scare so just be diligent when using ride shares or even in cabs.
