Expecting an Ebates Big Fat Check? Get up to a 20% Bonus with an eGift Card Instead!

Good evening everyone.  If you are expecting a Q4 Big Fat Check from Ebates, be on the look out for an email regarding your cash back.  If you get that email, you can receive your cash back in the form of an egift card instantly and you will get up to a 20% bonus.  For example, if you earned $100 cash back in Q4, you could receive an egift card for up to $120.  That’s a pretty good deal.  If you are not earning cash back with Ebates, click here to create a free account.

How to Signup, View & Activate Chase Offers (Currently Only Available for Marriott & Slate Cardholders)

Posted on by . 3 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Chase and Visa have created a new program called Chase Offers that is currently available to all Chase Marriott Rewards Credit Cardholders and all Chase Slate Credit Cardholders.  The Chase Offers program was rolled out in mid November, but since I recently converted my JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton Credit Card to the Chase Marriott Rewards Credit Card, I am now eligible to signup, view, and activate Chase Offers.

Chase Offers are very simple.  Sign into your Chase Offers account, link merchant specific offers to your credit card, make a qualifying purchase at that specific merchant, and receive cash back as a statement credit to your credit card. Creating a Chase Offers account is free and easy, just click here to get started.  If you have the Chase Slate Credit Card, the steps will be the same, but you can click here.

Why Did American Express Enroll Me in Cash Advance Program?

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good afternoon everyone.  A few weeks ago, American Express sent out emails with the subject line “Cash Advance Enrollment Update.”  Uh oh, “cash advance” are bad words to any travel hacker and credit card user.  I decided to investigate further to see what American Express was up to regarding the cash advance feature on one of my credit cards.  Based on the context of the email, it looks like American Express proactively enrolled me in the “Cash Advance program” without getting my permission.  I decided to log in and see what was going on.
