100,000 Marriott points might get you 3 hotel nights in London,but probably 2.A mid level hotel is 35,000 points a night.Those 100,000 points do not cover much in terms of flights if you convert them. The points are worth $1,000. Whether that is worth the 90 min of timeshare pitching is up to you.

Never thought I would see a FirstNet discussion on Bogleheads... As an IT director for a mid-sized public safety agency in the Midwest, let me provide my two cents.

Since I get 4.5% cash back with a real credit card using Apple Pay I try to use it all the time. I laugh when I see people all excited about getting 2% with Apple credit card.

There are Asian cultures where it is expected that you throw a wedding celebration for the entire community. On a PPP absis these events would probably cost six-figures. These are the same Asian cultures that are lauded for sacrifice, high savings rates, diligent work, and emphasis on education. Ma...

Sidebar: Klang .... Calling a wedding celebration “useless” (which is sacred tradition and a sacrament in some cultures) seems like trolling and is unkind. I was married in a Catholic church.
