Here’s a round up of posts, news, deals and other stuff that caught my attention in the last few days. I either don’t have the expertise, or was too lazy to write about them. Or maybe they’re just fun reads and not really travel/credit cards/deals related. I’ll add more posts to it during the day if I find anything else that I think will interest you, so check back.

- I’m Giving Away a $10 Kohl’s Coupon – Drawing is on 8/25 and winner gets one $10 coupon code (the ones you get from Discover Deals), I only got one this month, so I probably won’t use it. Not really much, but hey it’s $10 free. Probably only makes sense if you have a few other coupons yourself. 3 entries per person with Facebook and Twitter. This is probably more you helping me out, than me giving away free stuff.
