The Thanksgiving holiday may have brought a surge in travel — but it feels like it's just a warm-up for the main event next month.

by Kyle Burbank
In the unlikely event that you were somehow unaware, this upcoming Friday is what's long been known in the retail industry and popular culture as Black Friday.

Best Credit Card for "Everything Else" — Earning 2% to 4.5%
