Lots to report this week…

I used the free gas tactic to get $9.82 worth of free gas this week. That brings my 2015 total to $149.66, which means that 17.6% of my work commute this year has been FREE!

Menards had their 11% sale last week but this week’s ad flyer has 4 free items.

Look for a Menards haul post later this week.

New Posts this Week
– My Favorite Blogs is a list of websites that I used to get my start. I still visit them frequently to make sure I don’t miss any big news. In the post I give a brief review of each site and lay out what I use them for. You’ll find some great resources there.

Credit Card News
Nicoleen has three cards to cancel or downgrade in the next couple weeks. Check the site daily or subscribe to my RSS feed to get the reports of how it goes and whether she manages to get any retention bonuses or avoid annual fees.

I will be doing a mini-app party as soon as I’m done writing this post. Stay tuned to read what cards I’m applying for!

Points & Miles News
The biggest news of the week is that as of today, all U.S. Airways Dividend Miles accounts and American Airlines AAdvantage miles accounts are now officially merged. Check out Milevalue’s report here.

Now you’re updated. Go employ some Value Tactics!
