Good afternoon everyone, today is the last day to use prepaid debit cards and gift cards on Evolve Money without paying a 3% fee. Starting tomorrow (February 24), Evolve Money will begin adding the 3% fee to all bill payments paid for with a prepaid debit cards and gift cards. There is also a hint as to what is coming: increased limits on transactions (payments for more than $999) which could be useful for people paying larger bills like mortgages.
(Hat Tip to Doctor of Credit)
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Last week, I wrote Poll: Is Evolve Money Dead? 3% Fee for Gift Card Payments Next Week. But according to Doctor of Credit’s post, Evolve Money is allowing certain credit cards to be added as a debit card and used to pay bills. I added a few credit cards to my account and here are my successes and failures. Only my US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card worked, but apparently Barclays Arrival Plus is working as well.
Good afternoon everyone, I have another guest post from my buddy Nigel. You might remember him from such great blog posts as Guest Post: 5 Card App-O-Rama (Diners Club, Club Carlson, US Airways, Southwest Airlines Plus, and Citizens Bank). Without further ado, take it away Nigel!
Hello TWG readers, I wanted to share my experience with the recent 1-800-Flowers promotion to help qualify for the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. The inspiration and instructions for this endeavor came from Frequent Miler’s post: How to Feed the Hungry and Fly for Free.
In brief, through February 14th, 1-800-Flowers was running a promotion where every qualifying order of at least $29.99 with promo code RR36 or RR43 would earn 1,750 Southwest Airlines Rapid Reward Points. In November, there was a similar promotion and many people reported that the points posted as Companion Pass qualifying points. Rather than further depleting my Chase Ultimate Rewards Points or Hyatt Gold Passport account balances, I decided to go for it.

Good evening everyone, let me tell you about a cool wallet that I learned about at my recent OC Meetup. As we discussed gift cards and credit cards, an attendee pulled out his wallet and started looking for a specific card. Then another attendee pulled out his wallet and noticed that they had the same wallet. They both had the Allett, a super thin wallet capable of holding cash and up to 24 credit cards. I decided to buy an Allett and test it out myself (Amazon).
Good morning everyone, here are 4 new AMEX Offers for Legal Zoom, Miramonte Resort and Spa, Red Door Spas, and Cafe Express. Nothing super exciting, unless you need a spa or have to take care of some legal issues.
