Claim your $60 SaverLife Savings Program Reward – Here’s How

Posted on September 22, 2018 by Grant. 12 Replies

Updated at 6:30am PT on 10/1: My $50 ACH deposit from Earn just posted to my checking account on 10/1. This was 9 days after requesting the ACH deposit.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. A few months ago, Doctor of Credit wrote about SaverLife and how to earn up to $60 by saving money in an existing savings account. Free money? Sign me up! SaverLife is a non-profit funded by sponsors like Capital One, Chase and others that encourages members to save $20 per month to earn a $10 reward. I should have earned the full $60 reward, but I accidentally moved funds from my savings account to another account for a few weeks, so I wasn’t eligible for the $10 reward that month. Oh well, I am very happy with $50. If you were a member of SaverLife, you should have received the following email. Click the Claim Rewards button to get started. If you are interested in joining SaverLife, I think the $60 promo is still running. Here is my referral link.

My Barclays Credit Card Retention / Targeted Spending Offers for September 2018 [Letters Added]

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Grant. 3 Replies

Updated 8PM PT on 9/18/18: I just received the confirmation letters from Barclays and added both letters to this post.

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Last week, I noticed that my $75 annual fee posted on my Barclays Wyndham Rewards Credit Card. I signed up for this credit card during my September 2017 App-O-Rama and received 45,000 Wyndham Rewards Points as a welcome bonus (enough for 3 free nights, which I still haven’t used yet). I wrote a similar post about my Barclays Credit Card Targeted / Spending Offers for May 2018. In today’s post, I will share my retention / targeted spending offers on my 3 Barclays credit cards.

Cannot Redeem Barclays Arrival Miles for Eligible Travel Purchase? Call Barclays for Help

Posted on September 10, 2018 by Grant. 8 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Last week, I helped my brother keep his American Airlines miles from expiring. In today’s episode of managing my family’s miles & points, my dad told me he had 11,026 Barclays Arrival Miles in his account and wanted to close his Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card. I told him that he should redeem his Barclays Arrival Miles before he closes his credit card. I told him to buy an airline eGC and then redeem Barclays Arrival Miles for that travel purchase.

He didn’t have any upcoming travel plans, so I told him I would help him out. I would make a purchase on his Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card, redeem the Barclays Arrival Miles for the purchase, and then pay him back for the purchase. Since I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area, I use my Clipper Card to take public transportation (BART, SMART, Ferry, CalTrain, etc.) around the Bay and to SFO and OAK. I go through $200-$300 a month in Clipper Card charges, so I knew I could use up $110.26 pretty quickly, so I loaded $110.26 to my Clipper Card with my dad’s Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card. I normally use my Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card for the 3x travel rewards for Clipper Card charges, but I wouldn’t lose sleep over the missing points.

Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card 100,000 Points Sign Up Bonus Posted (Matched via Secure Message)

Posted on September 6, 2018 by Grant. 15 Replies

Good morning everyone. As part of my Mini July App-O-Rama, I was approved for the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card. The sign up bonus was for 80,000 IHG Points after spending $2,000 in 3 months + $50 statement credit after your first purchase. A few days before my new credit card arrived, Chase increased the sign up bonus to 100,000 IHG Points after spending $3,000 in 3 months, so I sent Chase a Secure Message (SM) to get matched to that offer. A few days later, I shared my welcome letter & card art; and a few days after that, I shared details of the $50 statement credit.

Chase responded to my Secure Message stating that after I spend $3,000 in 3 months on my new Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card, I should respond to the Secure Message and let them know when the $3,000 spending was complete. Chase would then manually add 20,000 IHG Points to my account. I am happy to share the details of Chase’s Secure Message response. The Chase rep verified that I spent more than $3,000 on my new credit card and stated that the 20,000 IHG Points would post to my IHG account on my next credit card statement. Luckily, I didn’t have to wait long…

Warning: Don’t Try to Beat PFS Buyers Club’s Price

Posted on September 4, 2018 by Grant. 12 Replies

Good afternoon everyone. PFS Buyers Club has a new deal from the US Mint where you can make $50 profit and get $1,400 in credit card spending. You can read more on Frequent Miler and Doctor of Credit. Before you start thinking about making more than $50 by buying and reselling the US Mint coin on your own, please read my post How I did on that US Mint American Eagle Platinum Coin. I got greedy on a previous PFS Buyers Club deal and thought I could sell the US Mint coin for more than what PFS Buyers Club was going to pay. Long story short, I ended up selling the coin on eBay for a $236.16 loss.
