We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    2.   JetBlue Now Charging for Checked Bags, Adds Wi-Fi and New Fare Options

    News Fares and No More Free Checked Bags

    Via The Points Guy, JetBlue introduced fare bundles on June 30, 2015.

    You’ll now have to pay more if you want to check a bag.  The lowest-priced fare bundle does NOT include a free checked bag.

    Prices for checked bags are either $20 online or $25 at the airport.  Unless you buy a more expensive ticket that includes a checked bag.

    The new fares are called Blue, Blue Plus, and Blue Flex.  Here’s an overview of what’s included with each one:

    You’ll Have to Purchase a “Blue Plus” Fare If You Want a Checked Bag Included in the Price

    JetBlue Is Adding Wi-Fi to All Flights

    JetBlue is also adding free in-flight broadband Wi-Fi to their planes.

    It’s already on certain flights. 

    The Wi-Fi Speeds Are Fast!

    On a recent flight, my friend sent a screenshot and the speeds were good for in-flight internet! 

    JetBlue is also adding 10-inch personal video screens to seats in every plane.

    I’ll stick to Southwest because you still get 2 free checked bags.  And of course for the best deal in domestic travel, the Companion Pass!

    3.   Use Citi Wallet at NewEgg.com and Get $20 off $50+ Purchases

    Update:  The “CITIWALLET” promotion code is no longer valid. Via Credit Card Watcher, Citi recently introduced Citi Wallet, which allows you to quickly check-out with a personal Citi credit card on certain websites.  You won’t have to enter your credit card information or billing address.
    Sign-Up for Citi Wallet and Get $20 Off at NewEgg.com

    When you check out with Citi Wallet at NewEgg.com, you can get $20 off a purchase of $50 or more.  The promotion ends either on July 12, 2015, or when Citi Wallet reaches 7,250 redemptions, whichever comes first.

    In addition to checking out with Citi Wallet on NewEgg.com, you’ll also need to enter the promotion code “CITIWALLET“ on the check-out screen.
