Did you know that Travis is a master at picking out the perfect credit card? Did you know that Josh is a hell of a fisherman and used some domain money to buy a real fishing boat (I think he shared this). Do we know anything about Aaron? What I love about having partners in business is the vast diversity of hobbies and talents that a group brings. The conversations are great and I’m always amazed by the crazy things that our partners know. Travis’ credit card prowess has saved me thousand and thousands of dollars the past year.
We went over my spending habits and my needs in a card and we picked out two kinds. One a travel card and one that specializes in good points for online purchases. The other a card that gets more coins with online purchases. I went with the travel. Pretty sure I mentioned it in a previous post. The Chase Saphire Reserve. It’s $400 but you instantly get $300 taken off you first travel purchase of the year so now you’re down to $100. And you get 100,000 points with signup which is $1500 in travel. Which would pay for 15 years of annual fee if you count only the $100 balance. Add in that you get free entry to all the high end lounges in the airport and its a winner. There are tons of other bonuses in the area of insurance and travel. Too many to list. I finally used my points from last year and was able to fly my family and I for 8 days in Holland on business class and hotel all for free using points. When you spend the points wisely they can go a lot further. I think I heard Travis say he could get 5 times his money on Hotels using his points. Again, he’s a specialist. Special enough that he essentially got me a free vacation for my entire family to Europe. And this was just my domain credit card. Not my nursery business card which my Dad still controls and is making the plain old 1%. Time to take a look at that and have Travis figure out the best way to maximize it.
The ironic part of all of this is I still get crushed in credit card fees at the nursery so by no means am I winning the credit card game. I can’t change the rates and all us businesses are going to pay the same rates regardless, so I might as well play. And with Travis guiding me I am playing better than I’ve ever played.
On a completely unrelated note. While sick I watched an entire season of Ozark on Netflix. A must watch. One of the better series on TV. Here are today’s names. Click on them for current price
Quote of the Day: “I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.” -Bob Newhart

Crypto Domains
So many today I had to separate the all out. All have bids. Some quite a few
Godaddy Names With One or No Bids

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Ozark is great once you can get past Jason Bateman not being Michael Bluth from Arrested Development .. which is probably the best/smartest sitcom of all time IMO.
.
C/C fees have eaten me up quite a bit as well .. I’m pretty sure as Americans you guy have at least 10x more options than any other country for choosing financial services. But on that note .. I’m happy to report another 4 figure sale that landed in my mailbox a couple of hours ago from Afternic, so that should help .. lol. I certainly under-priced it by a large margin .. but it’s a 200x return .. so I’m going to try to see it as a good mistake! 🙂
Ategy, I hear this over and over. Someone sells a name and then immediately feels like they priced it too low and wishes they had the name back. It must be part of the psychology of it. Congrats on the sale.
Travis .. Nah .. I know what you mean .. and some of my past sales I “wondered” if I could have gotten more .. but only in the usual way I think you mean in that we never know for sure if we left anything on the table or not. But this one I had repriced a while back in my personal DB quite a bit higher (when I priced down most of the others because I was a little too gungho on pricing at the start). I actually removed the price from my Efty account (but actually didn’t even think I ever had it on Afternic so didn’t switch it). So this one is a little more than “wondering” .. lol .. again though .. 200x .. can’t complain .. someone got a steal though! I’ll post the domain as soon as transaction completes! 🙂
.
Shane .. I seriously can’t believe you’ve never watched Arrested Development. First 6 episodes are good .. but once the cast gels and there’s more and more cross-episode references .. the show is simply brilliant .. I rewatched them all at least 3 times .. each time there’s something new … apparently the scripts for each show were 3-4 times longer than typical sitcoms.
Congrats Ategy on the sale. And never seen AD so I had a clear mind on Jason Bateman since Silver Spoons
Chase Sapphire Reserve – close on the details
Card is $450 with a $300 travel credit that can be used on just about anything so the total yearly fee comes to $150.
Bonus is now 50K points – the 100K was one sweet deal that isn’t around anymore. 50K points is still very nice especially if used wisely.
Lots of benefits including 3x points on travel and dining. A no-brainer card if you do a lot of either of these things.
That is awesome that you guys found a way to use the points to travel to Europe!
And I do have an option for you regarding your business…
Thanks Travis,a good story is often ruined with the facts 🙂
Yes i Agree on. Shane .. I seriously can’t believe you’ve never watched Arrested Development. First 6 episodes are good .. but once the cast gels and there’s more and more cross-episode references .. the show is simply brilliant .. I rewatched them all at least 3 times .. each time there’s something new … apparently the scripts for each show were 3-4 times longer than typical sitcoms.
