Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Well. I got a call from Allegiant’s Las Vegas Customer Relations Manager today. He said that they have gone ahead and processed a refund to my credit card of $127.68 US. I originally estimated that the refund would be about $125 US, and I was pretty much spot on. Despite the hassle at the beginning over the refund, I’m very pleased with the customer service I’ve gotten from Allegiant. Which I’m happy about. If they had made it difficult, I would have refused to fly with them again out of principle. And that’s a shame, because they really are by … Continue reading →

Wow am I ever glad I waited a few extra days to buy that GPS I wanted from Amazon.ca. I check Amazon daily to see if the price of the GPS has changed, and today I saw that it was reduced by another $50 (check it out)! That is a HUGE price reduction. The list price of the unit was $402.37. And for the last few months since I’ve been monitoring the price, it has fluctuated between $249.99 – $219.99. But today? It was down to $169.99 so I snapped it up using $157.65 worth of Amazon gift cards from … Continue reading →

Well, if you can believe it, I’m almost done the end of Week #7 of my Lunch Challenge. Just about one month to go, and I’m doing great! My weight has remained steady at around 132-133 lbs, and if I could ever get my butt in gear and start working out on a regular basis, I know I’ll hit my goal of 130 lbs. My cravings are almost gone. I never really wish I could go out for lunch. Sure, there are times when I get tempted (like when that jerk Fabulously Broke starts posting yummy food on her Facebook … Continue reading →

Today via Twitter (thx @thebuma!) I found out that Garmin has this awesome (free) software update for some of their GPS models called ecoRoute. It is a very very cool feature to have on a GPS. So this software update helps you find more fuel efficient routes and also helps to track your fuel usage. With ecoRoute, there is a “less fuel” option as a routing preference. When selected, the GPS will determine if more fuel efficient routes exist based upon road speed data and vehicle acceleration data for a given route. This option is perfect for me, because I’d … Continue reading →

Yay! I just logged into my Adsense and it says that a cheque is being cut for me for $115.98. So that means I can now afford toget my GPS device. And it couldn’t come at a better time, because I’ve been having to jet around the Lower Mainland quite a bit over the last week, and kept having to call BF to make sure I wouldn’t get lost. Very stressful. Especially today. I was stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours running an errand (there was a big accident on the highway), and that could have been avoided if I … Continue reading →
