Sell Your eBay Items Faster! Send Offers to Buyers Watching your Items

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good afternoon everyone.  A few weeks ago, Vihn at Miles Per Day wrote an article called Ebay adds the ability to edit prices and quantities to all active listings on one page.  I have been using that repricing feature for several weeks and thought all eBay sellers were aware of that feature, but apparently not.  I have also been using a new eBay selling feature where you can send offers to buyers who are watching your eBay items.  Historically, only eBay buyers could make offers to eBay sellers, not the other way around.  It looks like eBay is experimenting with this new feature.  I haven’t had great success (maybe eBay buyers are unfamiliar with this new feature or the offers I made are not attractive enough to eBay buyers – I don’t know).  But I will show you how to send eBay offers to buyers watching your items.  Sign into your eBay account, click on the Listings tab, and then click on Active (to view all active eBay listings).

American Express Credit Card APR Based on Experian FICO Score (Effective July 3, 2019)

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a great Cinco de Mayo weekend.  I was reviewing my American Express statements and spotted this upcoming change on my American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card.  I didn’t see the same message on my personal credit cards.  According to the statement, American Express is making changes to the way your APR (annual percentage rate) is calculated.  Effective July 3, 2019, American Express is going to base your APR on your Experian FICO score (aka credit score).  This personally doesn’t affect me since I always pay off my credit cards in full every month, but this change may affect some readers that carry a balance.

How to Access Citi Flex Loan on Citi Credit Cards (Instant Cash Advance for 9.99% APR)

Posted on by . 11 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I just saw this new feature on my Citi online account.  Citi introduced a new feature called Citi Flex Loan (learn more here) where you can basically get a cash advance up to your available credit limit.  If you need a higher credit limit, you can Easily Request a Credit Limit Increase (No Hard Pull) via the Citi App.  I am not saying this is a good idea, but I wanted to share the details with you in case you were interested.  After I logged into my Citi online account, I saw this big banner above my Citi Double Cash Credit Card.  I decided to check it out by clicking the View Offer button. FYI, my total credit limit is $7,700, but my current available credit limit is $7,685.87.

Updated 7:45pm on 5/1/19: I decided to redeem my cash back for a Nike eGift Card.  Scroll to the bottom of the post to see the redemption process.

Good afternoon.  Last year, I wrote a similar post: Expecting an Ebates Big Fat Check? Get up to a 20% Bonus with an eGift Card Instead! I decided to do an updated post with May’s quarterly payments.  I just got the following email from Ebates / Rakuten with an option to select an eGift Card with a boost of up to 15% vs. waiting for my Big Fat Check to arrive in the mail.  Let’s see if those eGift Cards are good deals and which merchants are offered.  I clicked the See All E-Gift Cards button in the email.
