Business Owners Plastiq Promo: 5,000 Fee Free Dollars (FFD) After Completing $15,000 Worth of Payments

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good afternoon everyone.  I have written about Plastiq a few times and they just reached out to me regarding their latest promo for business owners.  This promotion runs through December 31, 2018 and is only for new business customers.  New business customers must be a registered business and pay with a business credit or charge card.  According to the promo, new business customers can earn 5,000 Fee Free Dollars (FFD) after completing $15,000 worth of payments by December 31, 2018. For immediate response to any promotion inquiries, please contact marketing@plastiq.com.

Fee-free dollars (FFDs) is equivalent to money you can send through Plastiq without the Plastiq fee. For example, if you have 1,000 FFDs, your next payment or payments totaling $1,000 will not be charged the Plastiq fee. Anything over the $1,000 amount, will be subject to the Plastiq fee.   As a reminder, Plastiq can be used to pay all types of business expenses like rent / leases, business services (like Amazon Web Services), contractors, employees, freelancers, insurance, legal services, taxes, utilities, etc with a credit card.

I often write about Hawaii, what to see, where to drink coffee and of course where to eat. Just the other day a friend asked me for some restaurant recommendations.

Giveaway: A Free Year of 1Password, My Favorite Password Manager! [Winner Selected]

Updated 8:30am PT on 11/26: Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway.  I have randomly selected 1 winner and the winner is… Christian!  Here is the winning comment:

I go on memory, which is obviously not ideal. What worries me is that if the password software is compromised, my information is completely vulnerable. If a company guaranteed a certain high dollar amount if they are hacked and your data was misused as a result, I’d be much more inclined to trust them with my information.

Have you ever had any of your loyalty accounts hacked? I don’t know anyone who hasn’t. Protecting your accounts is essential. I know many people are resistant to using a password manager, and I used to be one of them. However, just over four years ago I started using 1Password, and I love it. Continue reading →
