Need a coin?

My niece sent me information on this new way to manage credit cards and I think it is fantastic.  I constantly am changing credit cards trying to get the best deals.  The problem is I can only carry so many cards at once.  This new 'coin" solves that problem along with the problem of never leaving your credit card at a store or restaurant.  Check out this video and tell me what you think.  If you are interested in pre-ordering a"coin" please use this coin link.

Even if you don't have that many credit cards or managing them is not a problem this is a short video that is definitely worth watching.

Marriott Timeshares for rent

I have three different timeshares for rent. Pick one (or more) and have fun traveling at a great price! There are no parking fees or taxes.  The price you see is the price in full. 

·      Marriott Desert Springs Villas 1 in Palm Desert. There are two choices in renting this 2 br/2ba unit.

o   Sept. 2 to 9  (8 days/7 nights)  $400 ($29 nt/per room)

                       or

o   Sept. 5 to 9 (5 days/4 nights)  $250 ($31 nt./per room)

If you go to the Marriott website you will see the timeshares are very nicely furnished and close to the Marriott hotel where you have full use of the spa midweek. If you book this unit through Marriott it would cost you $4338.34 (that is not a typo) for the full week. Click on the link below and check out the location, description and photos.

This timeshare is a two bedroom/ 2 bath.  There is a king in the master, 2 doubles in the second bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room.  The timeshare is just under 1700 sq. feet.  It has a full kitchen and dining room. It also has a washer/dryer.  

·      Marriott Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert.

September 15 to 22 (8 days/7 nights) $175.00 ($25 night)

If you go to the Marriott website you will find this resort is nicely furnished.  It is only a studio.  It has a king bed and a sleeper sofa. It does not have a full kitchen but just a small bar refrigerator and microwave.  The location has some great pools.  This is a very kid friendly resort with lots of activities. You may be worried about taking a week off of work, but at $25 a night even if you don’t stay the whole time it is a steal. If you book this through Marriott it is $705 for the week. I like this location and stay here often.

As you can tell I like Marriott timeshares.  I have stayed at numerous timeshares and I know that Marriott provides a quality timeshare. Unfortunately, the listed dates are not flexible. For further questions email travelforless@earthlink.net.  Just remember I get to keep the Marriott points.

If you live in the Los Angeles area here is a quick and easy way to get two FREE Dodger tickets.  All you have to do is get a fast, free car insurance quote from Mercury Insurance.  There is no obligation to buy anything.  Just go to: Mercuryinsurance.com/dodgers and enter the promotion code: Dodgers.  The quote must be completed by 5-31-13 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
