- Google Flights will now predict airline delays – before the airlines do by TechCrunch. It’s also making it easier to differentiate between basic economy and economy fares and what is/isn’t included.
- 26% back at 1800Flowers (Thurs Feb 1): Stack with with offers to save big by Frequent Miler. Personally think the quality and selection is lacking, but if you can stack it enough you can get some good deals.
- If you’re an Ally customer they are doing something called the Ally Big Save. Basically you download an app and play it during the superbowl commercials and then submit your high score for a chance to win a cash prize to go towards your savings goal. No idea what your chances are of winning, but might be worth doing (although I doubt it will be).
- Tractor Hacking: The Farmers Breaking Big Tech’s Repair Monopoly by Motherboard. Really interesting watch.
The rules for the Ally thing (https://go.ally.com/big-save/rules/) are kind of confusing. The total amount of prizes will not exceed $250,000, which will be split among the winners. And it looks as if there’s an essay part?
DOC, I just saw a “Save $10 when change 1-click to Discover card” banner at Amazon. This should be a new offer than last time.

I really enjoyed the “Right To Repair” tractor video!
I enjoyed the video as well as I live in a rural area of the Midwest. This sort of thing actually affects everyone that owns an automobile. Case in point: Fan clutch went out on my wife’s SUV. A used one or aftermarket one cannot be installed outside of a dealership, because the fan clutch is electronically serial numbered and has to be recognized by the SUVs computer. Another case in point: My Jeep Wrangler came with a soft top only. I bought a hard top for it that has a rear wiper and defroster. Those items will not work unless I bring the car in to the dealer to have the computer recognize the new options. Effectively shutting out the do it yourselfers and the small repair shops.
