RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
Man, I just started shopping for insurance and Houston’s prices made me do a double take. I haven’t even had a ticket yet and it still feels like I’m paying for everyone else’s fender benders. Maybe it’s the floods, mayb...

RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?
I tried stacking a promo code with my “welcome” discount once - ended up just confusing both me and the cashier. At this point, I half-expect to need a secret password or something. Maybe they want us to give up and just...
