There are a lot of different ways to play this game. There’s no “one size fits all” and I think it’s important to consider that everyone’s situation is unique.

Automatically Re-Book Flights and Hotels When Prices Drop With DoNotPay.com

April 5, 2018June 21, 2018 Sam Simon 7

Editor’s Note: The creator of DoNotPay, Joshua Browder, reached out to me and asked me to call him and discuss a new robo travel re-booking site.
