Best of Miles to Memories 1/4/16/-1/10/16
Welcome to the weekly “Best of Miles to Memories” recap series. Here you will find links to all of the still relevant posts from the past week. This week revolved largely around manufactured spend. The big news of the week was the shutdown of many Bluebird/Serve accounts, but there were some nice deals and I covered my Discover Apple Pay experience and more importantly how to stay organized in this crazy hobby.
To make the posts in this recap easier to wade through, my “Editor’s Picks” in each section are in bold. If you have questions about anything you read feel free to contact me anytime. Enjoy!
