Had a great time at @CardConExpo again this year. Many thanks for @CapitalOne for once again sponsoring me and a bunch of other freelancers!

If you fly on United Airlines, you need to know about the recent changes to the United credit cards. They're bad.

The @Discover it card gets added to our list of the best cards to use for Amazon thanks to its upcoming quarterly bonus.

Looks like the @Discover it card is one of the best cards for Target next quarter. We've updated the best-of list at Cards and Points. Expect everyone else to copy this shortly. >.<

@Discover just announced this quarter's 5% cash back categories: Target and https://t.co/WhrisCsJUM. Absolutely incredible categories for Q4 2024 and great for holiday shopping.

@DrSick95 @jcpenney And it's not even that good of a deal. The fine print on the card means you're only getting 0.5 points per dollar from the credit card when you use it.

They really need to step up the product offering.

@Sahara3160 I just ran the numbers on the JCPenney credit card today. It's a bad deal, even for purchases at JCP. Cancel the card and use a cash back card instead.

How much are Delta SkyMiles worth? I ran the numbers to come up with a sensible valuation that you can use to compare against cash bonuses.

Here's what to do if @Delta changes your flight schedule. (Hint: It can work to your advantage!)

[Aaron M. Hurd @aaronmhurd]

There are better Delta credit card offers if you make a dummy booking. We saw statement credits of $500 + 30k miles.

@MelissaAnn0001 @Delta Did you look online to see if they'll let you change it for free? Most of the time, they'll let you take any flight between your origin/destination +/- 2 days.

My engineering background has served me well while building my media business. Putting thought into designing and structuring my content has paid dividends.

@DetroitMark @rebatekey I got out of the @rebatekey game long before the house of cards over at Hard Body Nutrition came falling down. And I'm so glad that I did. If I don't understand how you make money, I am very skeptical about your ability to pay me.

[Aaron M. Hurd @aaronmhurd]

I wonder why we continue to trust the people (in business AND in journalism) who have been talking about the recession that is coming soon...and have been wrong...for the last 4 years.

[Aaron M. Hurd @aaronmhurd]

@PointChaser Yeah. I read about this. Further convinces me that Tik Tok isn't worth my time.
