Scoring a free upgrade on a rental car

Here's a useful tip from Buget Travel Magazine. I always found that planning ahead and shopping online on car rentals can definitely save you money. Here's a way to try to get a free upgrade..

Rental cars

How: Get a free upgrade

Book the cheapest rental car you can live with and arrive early in the day, before most customers have returned their cars. Result? The agency may not have any cheap cars to give you, and they are obligated to give you a bigger model at no extra charge. If they try to sell you an upgrade, say no. If it turns out they haven't run out of cheap cars, politely ask for a free upgrade.

Auction of confiscated goods.. cars, jewelry, and other valulables in Hong Kong

Do you ever wonder what happens to goods that are confiscated by the authorities or remain unclaimed? (ie luxury cars, jewelry, and anything of value)

The Hong Kong government organizes regular auctions of these goods
For details please check out

However I'm told by a good source that the auctions seem to be manipulated by certain groups that attend.. But it could be fun to check out if you have some time to kill.

25% off dining at Peking Garden with an AMEX Platinum Card

Last night, I was at dinner with friends at Peking Garden in Alexandara House in Central. When the bill came we were told that we could get 25% off if we paid with an American Express Platinm Card.
Usually the AMEX deals are for 10- 15% off but this was for 25% which I have never seen before!
Unfortunately that evening I didnt bring my Amex Platinum card and no one else at the table has this card.

This offer seems to be very low key as its not even mentioned on the Amex Platinum benefits webpage. I suggest confirming this offer when you make a booking at the restaurant.

Highly recommended dishes are the Peking duck, stir fried handmade pulled noodles, and the Beggar's Chicken

Please check out their site:
