This is the busiest time of the year for a consumer advocate; travelers are emailing me and calling my phone at all hours, asking for assistance. But consumer journalism is not cheap, which is why your help is desperately needed during this holiday fundraiser.
Elliott’s E-Mail
Grannies being strip-searched? Seriously?
We’re neck-deep in the busiest travel period of the year, and I’ll be around to make sure you survive it. I’m here for you 24/7 to help fix your consumer problems. Here’s my personal email address.
This is one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, and I’m right here in case you need me. But I’m only sending one newsletter this week, because let’s face it, do you really want anything to interfere with your shopping on Black Friday?
Today’s newsletter is filled with surprises.
I’m really excited about today’s newsletter. I get that way whenever I can help people, from saving someone’s kitchen appliance to scoring a small refund for an emergency plane ticket. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this consumer advocacy site!
It isn’t your imagination. We’ve been talking about scams a lot.
Alright, that didn’t go as planned. Last week’s switchover of my email newsletter wasn’t without a few glitches. We sent one or two messages out by mistake, and if you received more than one email from me, I’m really sorry!

I’m in Anna Maria Island, Fla., exploring the beaches, museums and many other attractions for our Away is Home project. [...]
What are the qualities of a highly successful consumer? In this week’s newsletter, I tell you what they are. I also explore Florida’s newest theme park and examine the “false choice” you’re presented with at the car rental counter. I’m so grateful to all of you who became individual underwriters in my fall fundraiser. You [...]
This week’s newsletter marks the beginning — and the ending — of two important events. Let’s start with beginnings. That cross-country trip I’ve talked about for so long? Starts right now. I hope you’ll join us! And this is the last day of my fall fundraiser, and the last opportunity to get your copy of [...]
This week’s issue of Elliott’s E-Mail is brought to you by you. That’s right, without your support, none of this would be possible. And as a way of saying “thank you” I’m offering my new ebook, 0-60 Travel Insurance to anyone who signs up as an individual underwriter. It’s the definitive guide to buying and [...]
Before I get into the terrific content I have lined up for this issue, a few words about money. Consumer advocacy doesn’t come cheap. Your support is critical to making this site run, and now more than ever, I need your help. And as a way of saying “thank you” I’m offering my new ebook, [...]
If you’re a regular reader of my site, then you know that consumer journalism is a tough sell. That’s why I rely on you to keep this site running.
