- A Year of Tracking – Autoslash’s Results by The Art of Travel Hacking. Autoslash is a must use tool if you ask me. This post shows why, impressive savings. It’s also nice being able to book in advance and then just watch the price drop.
- Free Credit Freezes Coming for All U.S. Consumers by WSJ. Yes please. Not having the ability to freeze your own data for free is absurd. I personally like the idea that consumers should have their report frozen as default.
- Equifax Ironically Could Gain From Senate Bill Meant to Punish It by Bloomberg. Personally think that Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac should be using whatever is the most accurate credit scoring model, don’t have an issue if that is VantageScore but given FICO’s massive market share I suspect it isn’t.
- Your ride home from Uber, Lyft is about to get a lot more annoying by NY Post. Please no, autoplaying ads that you can’t turn off? Honestly that’s enough to get me to switch ride sharing services if it becomes common place.

What if we start cancelling rides when we encounter those ad screens? Will they get the message then?
Thanks for the mention Doc!

Thanks
Amazing. Is there a service like autoslash for hotel bookings?
Yes, there is a company/service called Pruvo that checks existing hotel reservations for price drops: http://travelwithgrant.boardingarea.com/2017/08/24/want-to-track-hotel-reservations-for-price-drops-try-pruvo-shelli/
