If you're a regular reader you know I'm a big fan of the Consumerist blog.

Just when you thought Blockbuster was ceding the online dvd rental market to Netflix they start mass mailing offers of a free 1 month trial to everyone. The offer I got was a one month trial of their 1 at a time plan which includes 2 in-store movie exchanges.

My sister e-mail me to let me know that she passed the million mile mark. The majority of the million miles came from credit card spending. She flies roughly 2-5 trips a year.
