In the classic shell game of three-card Monte, marks are rewarded if they are able to identify the “money card” among three face-down cards that are being shuffled. In this sleight-of-hand scam, the mark is never able to choose the right card. An increasing number of businesses are playing a version of three-card Monte with […]
Have you ever looked up flights or hotels on an app on your phone, only to open your laptop and see different prices? That’s exactly what happened to me recently. I was using Orbitz’s iPhone app to research a vacation package to New York City. Settling on a hotel, I accessed Orbitz’s website on my laptop to book […]
The Commonwealth Bank’s latest Retail Insights research suggests almost 70% of people likely to purchase from the online platform.

Should brick-and-mortar retailers set different prices in-store and online? If Amazon (or another web retailer) is not significantly stealing business away, it doesn’t make sense to slash online prices.
