We all know how insurance policies can be integrated into a good financial plan for added protection. When used properly, it is actually very easy to prevent unwanted financial disasters using the right insurance policies. Naturally, auto insurance policies can be used for the same purpose. Before you buy a good auto insurance policy and enjoy all its benefits, here are a few money saving tips you can apply.

If you have more than one car, make sure you insure them together. Getting two auto insurance policies from the same insurance company will make you qualify for bulk discounts; you can even buy the two insurance policies you need for the price of one, allowing you to save 50% on insurance premiums instantly.

Those of you who are still looking for the best car to purchase might also want to consider buying an insurance friendly car. Read more…

While summer doesn’t begin until late June, it already feels like it here in Texas. I don’t know about you, but I’m already dreaming of my summer vacation. It’s not planned yet, but I’m not too stressed out about it. I’ve been saving for a trip little by little every week, and have enough Continental OnePass miles to get me a round-trip ticket to pretty much anywhere the airline flies.

I don’t fly more than a few times a year. I have been accumulating the miles from traveling with Continental for years, but part of why I have so many miles is because I frequently use the Chase Continental MasterCard. I get a point for each dollar I spend, and double the points for each dollar I spend when buying a Continental flight.

I often use the card for regular purchases to get the miles and then pay off the balance right away.

Dear Creditnet: I’m currently receiving collection notices from American Express for an unpaid balance on an old corporate credit card. I left the company where I had this card in late 2011.

I have combed through all my Amex bills, corporate expense reports and reimbursements, but I’ve been unable to find any unpaid charges on the card.

In addition, because the card was in my name and I incurred all the charges, my former employer takes no responsibility for the unpaid balance even though the charges were made solely for work purposes.

Will this affect my personal credit? What should I do now?

Answer: This is a difficult situation, but it’s not one that American Express is unaccustomed to handling. Belie
