InKind $50 Referral Bonus + 25% Discount on Gift Cards at Costco

Good morning everyone, happy Mother’s Day! I just noticed that InKind has doubled the referral bonus from $25 to $50 if your referral signs up and spends $50 with InKind by June 30, 2025. If they don’t meet the requirements by the deadline, you’ll still receive the standard $25 referral bonus once they spend $50. There’s no special referral link for this promo, so you can continue using your current referral link. If you’d like to use my InKind referral link, you will get a $25 bonus after you spend $50 or more with InKind.  If you are a Costco member, you can buy a $100 InKind eGift Card for just $74.99.  See the details below for more info.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, DoorDash forgot to mention that you can buy eGift Cards (eGCs) through DoorDash and get a discount.  Let me show you how.

Instant Access to Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card After Approval with Apple Pay & Google Pay

Updated at 8:15am PT on 4/23/25: I completed the $5,000 minimum spending requirement and the 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points show as pending in my account – all before even receiving the physical card in the mail.  You can also refer friends and family members to the CSP before receiving the physical card in the mail.  See both updates below.


Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  Last night, I was looking into credit card options since Laura and I have some large purchases coming up in the next few months.  While researching, I wanted to see if the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card (CSP) (click here to learn more and apply) offers instant access to the card, and I was happy to find out that it does!

According to Chase: “Spend Instantly: Apply for a card, use it the same day. Receive instant access to your card by adding it to a digital wallet, like Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, or Samsung Pay.” You can check out the full details here chase.com/digital/spend-instantly.  In this post, I will show you the process to add the CSP to your Apple Pay Wallet.
