Hometap Review: What You Need to Know About the Costs

R.J. Weiss — Thu, 30 May 2024 21:26:44 +0000

Traditionally, using your home equity to get cash meant taking out a loan or credit line. Although useful, these debt products involve monthly payments. But a new option has emerged, with a handful of companies investing in home equity rather than lending on it. This allows homeowners to leverage their equity for cash without adding another monthly payment. One such company is Hometap, which offers homeowners a lump sum of cash today in exchange for a share of their home’s future value. But is Hometap the smartest way to tap your home equity? To help you decide, I’ve evaluated all […]

PointsYeah Review (2024): My Top Free Award Travel Search Tool

R.J. Weiss — Wed, 08 May 2024 21:31:51 +0000

PointsYeah has quickly become my go-to award travel search tool, saving me countless hours and a significant number of points. For example, on a recent trip to Costa Rica, my family and I were initially set to depart from Chicago at 5:30 a.m., with a brief stopover in Charlotte before heading to Liberia. However, two weeks prior to our trip, PointsYeah’s alert system found a non-stop route in the mid-morning that shaved off hours of travel time and cost fewer points. In fact, we were able to switch from paying 19,500 points per ticket to 12,500. While I did pay […]

Vanessa Zeigler — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 15:56:47 +0000

UserTesting is a platform that connects companies with product testers who get paid for providing feedback on software, websites, apps, physical items and more. It’s one of the most well-known companies in the space, and I set out to review the platform with an eye towards discovering how much work is available, how hard it is to get accepted into tests, and how much you can earn. Unfortunately, despite completing 46 “screeners” — short sets of questions that determine your potential eligibility for tests — I was offered zero testing opportunities over a seven-week period. So in this review, I’ll […]
