InKind Restaurant Payment App Introduces Rewards Program (Targeted Challenges = Credit Back)

Good morning everyone.  Last November, I wrote about the AMEX Offer for the InKind restaurant payment app and showed how InKind worked at participating restaurants.  A few months ago, InKind had a promo during March Madness that offered a $24 bonus if you used InKind 3 times during the basketball tournament.  It looks like InKind has rolled those promos into InKind Rewards, their new rewards program, that rewards members for completing targeted challenges.  I will show you where to find the challenges and show you the 3 challenges that I received.  If you are new to InKind, here is my InKind referral link that “gets you $25 free when you spend $50 or more at any restaurant and pay your bill using the InKind app.”

First things first, here is the InKind Rewards announcement email that came yesterday afternoon.

Zelle’s Parent Company (Early Warning Services) Launching New Paze Digital Wallet Service

Updated at 10:30am PT on 6/8/23: Here is a Chase Paze FAQ page and a US Bank Digital Services Agreement page (scroll down to “Using Paze”).


Good afternoon everyone.  I went down a deep rabbit hole that started with an email from Wells Fargo and ended with me finding details of Paze – a new digital wallet service from Zelle’s parent company (Early Warning Services).  Follow me down the rabbit hole as I explain more about Paze.  The journey began when I received this email from Wells Fargo about updates to the Online Access Agreement.  I clicked the link to view the Summary of Changes to see if there was anything noteworthy.

How to Fix a Rejected Hilton Honors Gold Elite Status Enrollment (AMEX Platinum Card Benefit)

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I have a strange edge case that I wanted to share, in case anyone else is in this situation.  Long story short, I downgraded my American Express Hilton Honors Aspire Credit Card to the no annual fee American Express Hilton Honors Credit Card in May 2022 but my Hilton Diamond Elite Status remained for almost a year.  A few weeks after my Hilton elite status dropped to Hilton Silver Elite Status, I went to my American Express Business Platinum Card and navigated to the Hilton Honors Gold Status Enrollment benefit.

I entered my Hilton Honors number and submitted the request.  A few weeks later (I forgot to check after submitting the request), I went back to the benefit and saw that it said “Enrollment Rejected.”

Unboxing American Express Delta Platinum Business Credit Card: Card Art, Welcome Letter & Benefit Inserts

Good morning everyone, happy Friday! A few weeks ago, I was approved for the American Express Delta Platinum Business Credit Card and wrote Delta TakeOff 15 Benefit (15% Award Travel Discount) Available within 24 Hours of New Credit Card, But Cannot Use on Existing Award Ticket Reservations. The credit card was sent to me via UPS Next Day Air and came in a well-designed box with the welcome letter and benefit inserts.  I wanted to do an unboxing to show you what to expect when you receive your new credit card.

Here is the front and back of the credit card.  It has the same feel as an American Express Business Platinum Card, but the front is a dark purple-grayish color.

Targeted: $200 Bonus for Bank of America Better Balance Rewards Credit Cards Converting to Unlimited Cash Rewards

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  Doctor of Credit is reporting that some members who have a Bank of America Better Balance Rewards Credit Card are seeing a targeted offer for a $200 bonus after spending $1,000 in 4 months once their card converts to the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards Credit Card.  I currently have 2 BBR CCs and saw this offer when I signed into my Bank of America app this morning.  I took screenshots to remind myself of this promo since I haven’t received an email about this offer or see it mentioned anywhere else in the app.  If you have a BBR, sign into the app and see if you are targeted for this bonus.
