Helpful miscellaneous articles
regarding our retirement plan and planning.
Like you, I review my retirement nestegg and plan from time to
time. Recently, I went though some
continued education for some credentials I maintain and it occurred to me that
we all could use a review about these issues.
So with your help, we will share and post articles and info that may be
helpful and of interest to many of you in this section.
Delta Employee AMEX Gold “Skymiles” Card:
Verify you have no annual fee!
Here is my personal story. Yeah, I did it, I signed up for a Delta AMEX
card with the promise that for employees that there was no annual fee and you
earned miles with very purchase. So
things were going along swimmingly until I got my $99 annual renewal fee. What gives?
I called and the original signup apparently did not issue the card under
the right criteria so the AMEX people were nice enough to issue me another card
and wipe the annual renewal fee away. If
you have this card, PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED THIS FEE
BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE FREE WITH NO ANNUAL FEE!
2nd
tip concerning skymiles. With the card
the skymiles add up quickly. If you
don’t use miles but wish to turn them into money then www.flipmymiles.com is the place to go. As a rule of thumb, miles are more valuable, then hotel points. And Delta miles have a nice value via these
converting sites. Flipmymiles will send
you money almost instantly. It’s another
way to gain a benefit from reward miles.
