My First PayPal Payment Received from BART Perks ($17 from October)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good morning everyone, happy Tuesday!  (Only a few more days to Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday – I hope you are ready.)  Last month, I wrote Introduction to San Francisco Bay BART Perks Test Program.  In that post, I showed you how the BART Perks program works, when to take BART rides to earn bonus points, and how to redeem your points for chances to win cash prizes.  If you live in the Bay Area and have a Clipper Card, there is absolutely no reason not to sign up for BART Perks – the program is free to use and you could win a few dollars (like me).  If you use my referral link, you will get 250 points for signing up.

Last night, I got an email from PayPal that said BART Perks sent me $17 for my October winnings.  If you won any money in October, you should receive a PayPal payment.  It looks like payments are sent 3 weeks after the month ends, so winnings from November should be sent out around December 21.

How to Easily Cancel your Google Express Free Trial or Membership

Posted on by . 1 Reply

Good afternoon everyone.  A few months ago, LivingSocial had a deal where you could get a free 6 month membership and $20 in credit for Google Express for the cost of $5.  I saw the offer as a great way to get $15 of free stuff from Google Express and jumped at the offer.  Like all good things, the free 6 month membership came to an end, but thankfully Google sent me an email yesterday letting me know that my first monthly payment was scheduled to go through on November 19.  They also provided a helpful link at the bottom of the email with steps to cancel my Google Express membership.

Amazon Prime Now Restaurants: $10 Off $20 First Order + Free Delivery (Select Cities)

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Good morning everyone, greetings from rainy San Francisco.  Yesterday, I received a postcard in the mail for a new service called Amazon Restaurants.  I almost threw the postcard away, but then I looked more closely at it and saw that it said $10 off your first order using promo code DINELOCAL10.  I decided to check it out and place a dummy booking to see what the ordering process was like.  To see if your home or work zipcode is in an Amazon Restaurant city, click here and type in your zipcode.  Apparently this service is only available to Amazon Prime members, so if you are not a Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a 30 day free trial.

Introduction to San Francisco Bay BART Perks Test Program

Posted on by . 3 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Hat tip to my friend Esther for telling me about the BART Perks program.  This program is only available to BART customers with a Clipper Card.  All of the information mentioned below came from the BART Perks FAQ PDF and all the screenshots came from my account.  I will summarize everything you need to know about BART Perks, but if you have any questions, please check the PDF for more information.

First things first, to join BART Perks, please click here to create your free account.  You will receive 250 points and start at gold status (more info on points and status below).  BART Perks is a 6 month test program to explore new ways to reduce train crowding during peak morning hours.  Riders earn points for every trip on BART and those points can be exchanged for small cash rewards or used to play a Spin to Win game for the chance to win additional points or cash rewards up to $100.  The BART Perks test program will end on February 2017 and the future of the program will be evaluated at that point.
