Good afternoon everyone. I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found a few offers ending soon. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are 4 offers that end this week. Up first, Marriott Hotels is offering a 30% discount, when you purchase Marriott Bonvoy Points. This offer expires on October 18.
If you haven’t heard of Robinhood, now is an excellent time to join the team. Starting this week, the commission-free investment company has grown from its roots in portfolio development and day trading to becoming a solid cash management option. As of October 8th, you can open your own brokerage checking/savings account with Robinhood and start earning over 2% APY.
This may not be the first you’ve heard of this as last year, the company announced their intentions to unveil the Robinhood Cash Management product with a 3% APY; a notably competitive rate for the industry. As it stands, the actual introductory APY sits at 2.05% which isn’t bad, but it isn’t 3%. As with any percentage yield, though, it varies with the market and the market has dropped since the initial announcement. Currently, Robinhood is accepting additions to the waitlist for the product, and once you elect to participate in Robinhood Cash Management, all previously uninvested funds will be swept into participating program banks that will pay the 2.05% APY.
Good morning everyone. I am taking a page out of Miles Per Day’s book and sharing my success with ticket reselling. Long story short, I purchased 2 tickets to the WW Presents Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus Live on Tour from Ticketmaster during an American Express presale. Due to a scheduling conflict, I couldn’t use the tickets, so I decided to sell them back on Ticketmaster. By sheer dumb luck, I ended up making $476.58 after the tickets sold. Here’s what happened…

Good morning everyone. Yesterday afternoon, I got my Chase business checking account statement and there was a big message on the front page of the statement. Beginning on November 19, 2019, if your Chase checking account is compromised, Chase will provide a replacement checking account number. This avoids the hassle of closing your existing account and opening a new account. Personally, that still sounds like a huge hassle if you have your direct deposit, bill pay, and other financial accounts linked to your old (compromised) account. One positive is that your linked debit card will continue working with the new account. Hopefully you are never in this situation, but at least your debit card will continue working, so you have access to your money.
Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. The calendar date may say October 7, but to me, it feels like Christmas morning! Let me explain. I just checked my Citi credit card statements and noticed this message on my 3 Citi AT&T Access More Credit Cards. According to the message, Citi did not reward me the correct number of Citi Thank You Points for purchases made on my Citi AT&T Access More Credit Cards. Citi is going to make an adjustment to my account in the next 2-3 billing cycles (actually, Citi credited the missing Citi Thank You Points on that statement).
