Ebates Launches Last Minute Monday with Double Cash Back at 500+ Stores

Good evening everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  I just received an email from Ebates regarding their latest promo – Last Minute Monday.  Ebates is offering double cash back at 500+ stores through 11:59pm PT on 12/19.  I am not sure if these are the same 500+ stores that were in the Black Friday or Cyber Monday promo, but I am sure there is a lot of overlap.  To the one person who has not signed up for an Ebates account, click here to create your free account (you also get a $10 bonus after you make a $25 purchase).

A Travel Hacker Wish List for Santa (Reader Ideas Needed)

Good afternoon everyone, here is the filler post of the weekend. Enjoy!

Usually this time of year, we look back at the predictions we made at the end of 2015 or early 2016 and see how many things we got right and how many things we got wrong. It is usually a little depressing to look back and see how much has changed (for the worse) over the last 12 months. I wanted to put a positive spin on the predictions this year and turn it into a Christmas wish list for Santa. If Santa had the power to make travel hacker lives better, what would you wish for?

Grant’s wish list (in no particular order):

  • I want Chase to create a “no 5/24 rule day” so everyone can be approved for the Chase credit card they really want (I have my eye on the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card).
  • I want the JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton Credit Card to change the $300 travel credit (incidentals only) to match the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card $300 travel credit (paid airfare and hotels).

Today is National Free Shipping Day (Friday December 16)

Good evening everyone.  Today is National Free Shipping Day (yes, it is a real thing – Wikipedia) and hundreds of merchants will be offering free shipping (usually with no minimum purchase amount) today only.  If you have any last minute holiday shopping left to do, today is a great day to get it done.  Ebates has a dedicated Free Shipping Day page with free shipping details from some of their top merchants. To the one person who has not signed up for an Ebates account, click here to create your free account (you also get a $10 bonus after you make a $25 purchase).

I do not have any holiday shopping left to do, so I won’t be buying anything on National Free Shipping Day.  How many more “shopping holidays” are left in December?  I’m really hoping there is a “National Sleep In All Day” Day coming up soon :)

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.  Have a great evening everyone!
