Discover’s Online Privacy Protection Service Found 10 More Data Records About Me

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Updated at 4:00pm PT on 11/10/22: I received an email that Discover successfully removed my data records from these 10 websites.  Scroll down to the bottom to see the update.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  A few months ago, I wrote New Discover Credit Card Benefit: Online Privacy Protection (Removes Personal Info from People-Search Websites).  In that post, I talked about Discover’s Online Privacy Protection service and how it works.  Fast forward to a few days ago, Discover sent me an email that they had found 10 more data records and automatically submitted opt-out requests on by behalf.  After I received the email, I signed into the Discover app and clicked on the Online Privacy Protection button.

Register for FTU Virtual Seminar on Saturday, October 29 ($25) or Free with Online Annual Membership

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I had an awesome time at the Chicago Seminars and loved seeing many familiar faces and meeting new people – I can’t wait to return next year.  If you are not busy this Saturday, October 29, I highly recommend attending the FTU Virtual Seminar (tickets available for $25) or free if you have the FTU Online Annual Membership.  The seminar starts on Saturday, October 29, at 8am PT / 11am ET.  I have attended all of the FTU Virtual Seminars over the last 2 years and they are always well done, educational, and entertaining – and I am sure this seminar will be no exception!  Here is the complete schedule and lineup of speakers.

If you register for the seminar, but are unable to watch the live stream, you can access the recording of the seminar and watch later on.  This is also a great way to re-watch your favorite presentations and catch any details that you originally missed.

Synchrony Premier Credit Card 2% Cash Back + $100 Statement Credit Posted Quickly and Automatically

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  Last week, I received my new Synchrony Premier Credit Card in the mail.  This credit card used to be the Rakuten Visa Credit Card, but was automatically converted to the Synchrony Premier Credit Card.  Usually, when a credit card is converted / product changed, there is no sign up bonus or new member bonus, but Synchrony was offering cardholders a $100 statement credit after spending $1,000 in 3 months.  In this post, I will share the email, welcome letter, and sign up bonus posting details.  Here is the front and back of the credit card.
