Cruising almost for free!

I love cruising and I always try to get a good deal when we purchase cruise.
I heard how some people keep getting super low prices after they cruise for a while and finally it happened to me!
This week I finally got an awesome offer from Carnival.
I could get it even better but by the time I reacted prices went up a little.
I checked my promotional email from Carnival and they offered me $75 per person for 4 days cruise.
Well, when it turned out to be $125 per person, which is still pretty awesome, plus we got $100 room credit.
On top of this earlier this month my AMEX offered me $75 credit if I spend $350 at Carnival, which I did.
I am also going to use my mail for casino promotion, which is $50 toward casino playing.
So here is my math for almost free cruise
$381 - total with taxes for interior room for me and my daughter
+$111 - gratuities
-$100 room credit
-$75 AMEX offer
-$50 casino offer
$267 for two of us or $133 per person! for 4 days of fun and relaxation!

I hope these deals keep coming my way. Plus I should have 100 shares of Carnival next time I am cruising, which will give me a room credit every time I cruise. Here more info



Investment Activity the Week of July 15 2019

Hello Guys,
This week I didn't sell any stocks. I was thinking to sell some of my DEO positions but then changed my mind.
Bought
more of CCL - 22 shares. So far I have 73 shares my goal is to get 100, so I can use room credit when I am cruising with Carnival.
more of SPG - 5 shares
BGS - 52 shares
TCO - 38 shares
more of IGT - 38 shares

It will add $335 to my yearly dividend income.

I am getting free trades and this is why I can buy in small lots.

Also this week I used Discover saving account offer - $200 one time if you put $25,000 plus 2.05%
on your invested amount. I like that I still can move money around if I needed and 2% is not so bad while I am looking for another ways to invest.

How was your week?

Next week I will be cruising on my almost free Carnival cruise but I still will try to keep up with stocks whenever I can.
