Supervalu / Albertsons / ACME / Jewel-Osco / Shaws / Star Market Data Breach and 12 Months of Free All Clear Identity Theft Monitoring

This morning, I was reading the Wall Street Journal online and saw read this article: Supervalu Reports Second Hacking Incident – August Data Breach Affects Certain Albertsons, Acme, Jewel-Osco and Shaw’s Stores (link).  The part that really caught my attention said:

As a precaution, Supervalu and AB Acquisition said they will offer 12 months of free consumer-identity protection services through AllClear ID to customers whose information may have been compromised in the hacking incidents.

If you have at any of these supermarkets during the last few months, you may want to sign up for a free 12 month identity protection plan from All Clear (link).  The process is pretty simple, to start, just check the box and enter your full name and email address.

More Info Regarding Chime Card Loads After October 8 and my App-O-Rama Planning

Literally a few minutes before writing this post, I received the following email from Chime regarding the previously announced changes to debit card loads (link). Starting October 8, you will be able to load up to $200 per day, with a minimum load amount of $25.  If you use a debit card from Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Comerica Bank, or USAA, your debit card loads will remain free.  If you use a different debit card (including the PayPal Business Debit Card), you will *most likely* get hit with a “fee of up to 3%” per load.  We still need to wait and see what Chime does regarding the PayPal Business Debit Card.  If you use a debit card from one of the previously mentioned banks, the October 8 change will benefit you.

New Discover It Chrome Card and Minor Changes to the PayPal Business Debit Card Terms

Discover It Chrome vs Regular

New Discover It Chrome Card and Minor Changes to the PayPal Business Debit Card Terms

In other credit card related news, Discover announced a new version of the Discover It… the Discover It Chrome Card.  I personally like the color better.  The new version of the Discover It credit card now earns 2% cash back on all restaurant purchases and gas station purchases, year round.  There is a cap, however.  You can only earn 2% cash back on the first $1,000 of combined purchases each quarter.

Chime Card Prepaid Reloadable Debit Card – Instant Cash Back Card

(Hat Tip to Will @ Doctor of Credit for alerting me about the Chime Card).

This is an interesting card, sort of a hybrid between Plink and AMEX Offers for You.  Let that “sync” in for a little bit.  However, unlike Plink and AMEX Offers for You, you do not need to add the offers to your wallet or save the offers to your account to participate in Chime’s offers.  In addition, you do not get paid in Plink Points, instead, you receive instant cash back right on your Chime Card.  Take a look at these offers (offers available as of 7/8/2014):

Also, I wanted to share that my experiment was successful.  2 $250 PayPal withdrawals to my Serve “bank account” counted as direct deposits and earned me a $50 cash back bonus.  To learn more about this promo, please click here.

Serve $50 Direct Deposit

To get you started in the right direction, find the direct deposit from on Serve, copy the routing and account numbers, and add the “bank account” to your PayPal account.

Have a great night everyone!
