Chase Credit Card Cardholders Now Earn 10% Back in Groupon Bucks ($50 Monthly Limit)

Good morning everyone, I just received an email from Chase about their new partnership with Groupon.  If you are a Chase credit card holder, you can now earn 10% back in Groupon Bucks for your Groupon purchases, up to a $50 monthly limit.  All you need to do is opt into the partnership and use your Chase credit card to earn the 10% Groupon Bucks.  Groupon Bucks are similar to eBay Bucks in that you earn them on Groupon purchases and you can redeem them for future Groupon purchases (more details below).

Staples Chase Offer: $30 / $20 / $10 Off $100 Purchases (Found on Biz Cards)

Good afternoon everyone, I was catching up on Doctor of Credit (it’s almost a full time job to read everything they publish on a daily basis) and just read the post Chase Offers: Save Up To 30% At Staples (Business & Personal Offers).  The post is a few days old, but I am glad I read it.  I had no idea that Staples had a new Chase Offer where you could get $30, $20, or $10 back on a $100 purchase.  As luck would have it, I have 3 business credit cards that each received a different offer ($30 on Chase Ink Cash, $20 on Chase Ink Plus, and $10 on Marriott Biz).  I loaded the offers to my business credit cards and drove to my local Staples.

Trim Saved Me Another $15 on my Comcast Xfinity Cable Bill

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  2 years ago, I wrote about Trim: Trim Saves Money on Monthly Cable / Phone / TV / Internet Bills (Negotiates Discounts on your Behalf).  Fast forward to today and Trim is still saving me money.  A few days ago, I got an email from Comcast Xfinity that said I was receiving a $15 credit.  Every few months, Trim will contact Comcast Xfinity on my behalf and negotiate a lower monthly bill or find a promo I am eligible for.  I do not have to do anything other than sit back and wait for the savings.

What’s in Grant’s (iPhone) Wallet?

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great Super Bowl weekend.  I was down in Orange County enjoying the warm weather, but now I am back up in the chilly Bay Area.  I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for a while, but my final motivation was reading 2 Frequent Miler articles: What’s in Nick’s wallet? and What’s in Greg’s wallet?  The first thing you should know about me (if you already didn’t know) is that I am a millennial and I live in the Bay Area, so I can go weeks without using cash.  For that reason, my wallet is built into my iPhone XS case.  I use the Urban Armor Gear (UAG) iPhone Case ($30 on Amazon) that has room for 4 cards: my drivers license and 3 credit cards.  Which 3 credit cards do I carry with me on a daily basis and which credit cards do I have in my ApplePay Wallet?

If I Could Only Keep 5 Credit Cards with Annual Fees…

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  A few weeks ago, I wrote these 2 posts:

In those posts, I listed all the credit cards that Laura and I have.  I also justified why I paid $4,588 in credit card annual fees in 2019.  Since that post, there have been a few credit card changes (JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton Credit Card lost the Visa Infinite Discount Air Benefit and the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card added Lyft and DoorDash benefits).  A few readers commented and other bloggers linked to the top post and shared which credit cards they keep every year.  As part of my 2020 travel resolutions, I said I wanted to reduce the amount I paid in credit card annual fees.  In this theoretical post, here are the 5 credit cards with annual fees that I would keep…
