    Ben Franklin reminded us centuries ago that there are only 2 certainties in life. One of them is taxes — we have to pay them.

    South America has everything a traveler could want. There’s a season for every preference, activities for every budget, and food for every palate. Each South American city has its own vibe, cultural experiences, and unique way of having fun. Three cities I have visited stand out for providing an enjoyable experience, great value for money, and a breadth of interesting sites: Mendoza, Argentina; Quito, Ecuador; and Bogotá, Colombia.

    It’s a common question: “Should I choose an American Express or a Visa card?” The question may be even more precise for frequent travelers who prefer a premium travel rewards card: “Should I choose The Platinum Card® from American Express or a Visa Infinite card?”It’s a great question because both card options provide elevated rewards earnings, flexible redemption options, statement credits for select purchases, and premium travel insurance.
