Here’s a weekly round up of posts for Week 36 of 2017. Usually every Thursday or Friday I put together a collection of 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.

- [Rumor] USAA Limitless 2.5% Cashback Card To Be Released Nationwide September 17th & New Ways To Qualify For 2.5% Rate by Doctor of Credit – This is definitely a great card for non-bonused spend so it’s good to hear that it might be available nationwide soon.
