Good evening everyone, let’s get to today’s random news…

First off, as I slowly transition under the Prior2Boarding / BoardingArea umbrella, you will probably notice some changes, like the Prior2Boarding banner showing up at the top of my blog.  I will remain self-hosted, so all my page URLs will stay the same.

I have some bad news for those of you who hate ads (probably all of you).  I have partnered with BoardingArea to show their ads on my blog.  You will see them in the coming days on the right hand side of my blog and toward the bottom of the blog.  If you use an ad blocking software/plugin, I won’t be mad.  I actually use Chrome’s Adblock Plus myself.  If the ads are really annoying, distracting, or obstructing content, please let me know ASAP and I will fix them.  Thank you for understanding.

Now to the good stuff…

Like clockwork, Staples has another ream of paper that is free after rebate and coupon.  These reams go for about $2 at garage sales, so stock up!

$10 AMEX Serve Statement Credit After Making 5 $10+ Purchases (8/15 – 9/13)

$10 AMEX Serve Statement Credit After Making 5 $10+ Purchases (8/15 – 9/13)

Good morning everyone!  Just a quick post this morning.  If you have an AMEX Serve Card, you probably got this email already.  AMEX wants you to actually *use* your AMEX Serve Card like a credit/debit card, not just like a virtual bank account for paying bills and moving around money (that’s just a guess, I have no idea what AMEX really wants us to do).  With that said, there is now a promo where you can get $10 statement credit posted to your AMEX Serve Card after making 5 purchases of $10 or more between today (August 15) and September 13.  My advice would be to use your AMEX Serve Card for non-bonused spend where purchases are just above $10.

Happy Sunday afternoon everyone, I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve been busy this weekend.  Busy saving money!

Yesterday afternoon, I stopped by my local Bed, Bath, & Beyond store and bought 4 $25 gift cards (Chipotle, Panera, and 2x Subway) to qualify for the $5 AMEX statement credit offer (link).  I used 4 different AMEX credit cards.
