Common Travel Scams & How to Avoid Them – Travel with Grant
Some common sense ones but some good ones to look out for. Worth a read if you have upcoming international travel.
People are getting loans to pay for their vacations – Market Watch
A little bit of me dies inside when I read things like this. Even when I try to help out some friends they still look at me like I am crazy or would rather just put it on a 0% card rather than put in the “effort” of doing what I spell out for them. It still amazes me.
This Creepy Clown Motel Has Been Named America’s Scariest Motel – Simplemost
This is creepy in a weird clown fetish way but I wouldn’t have thought it would win scariest. I would think that would go to somewhere with a “haunting” claim. I think the area around the motel scares me more then some clowns in my room. I always find it strange when places charge more per person…does them room get more use or something? Since it is in Nevada I wonder if Shawn will give us a review sometime?
Why nobody ever wins the car at the mall – the Hustle
This is super shady and well worth the read. I haven’t done one of these in forever but it is interesting to read about what really goes on with them.
Walmart cancels order; invalidates gift cards used on order – Miles per Day
This is super shady article number two. I am not surprised that Walmart would do this. Don’t forget dealing with Sam’s Club gift cards is just as bad. Use/buy them in store only.

the Hustle
Cheap stay in Vegas or Orlando, except you get the pitch for a time share. The Lawn and Garden Show where you can fill out a post card at a booth to be pitch later. The income question might be to weed out the tire kickers.
