4 Chase Offer Flash Deals: 20% Cash Back at McDonald’s, Walgreens, Exxon, and Bed Bath & Beyond

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  I just checked my Chase app and saw 4 new Chase Offers.  These are 2 day long Flash Deals that offer 20% cash back at McDonald’s, Walgreens, Exxon, and Bed Bath & Beyond.  I saw these same Chase Offers on most of my actively used Chase credit cards, so you should have all or some of these offers too.  The Chase Offers are around for 6 days, but as soon as you load / activate each Chase Offer, you only have 2 days to use the offer before it expires.  Scroll down to see more information about each Chase Offer.

US Bank Business Triple Cash Credit Card Application Process & Welcome Documents

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  2 days ago, I wrote Capital One Spark Miles Business Credit Card Application Process & Welcome Documents.  2 weeks ago, I also applied for the US Bank Business Triple Cash Credit Card.  My application was not instantly approved, so I called the US Bank business credit card application status / reconsideration department and asked if I could move some credit from my existing US Bank business credit cards in order to be approved for my new credit card.  The rep said that US Bank did not reallocate credit limits and when I called on October 7, the rep said the credit department was still working on applications from October 1, so 6 days behind.  6 days later, on October 13, my application was approved.

Here is what the front and back of the credit card looks like.  I am not a fan of the mixture of vertical and horizontal elements on the front of the card; and the back of the card looks to simple and a little boring.  It also looks like there is something missing from the bottom left corner on the back.  In this post, I will share details of the application process and the welcome documents I received from US Bank.

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end in the next week.  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 5 offers that end soon.  Up first, IHG Hotels is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of IHG Rewards Club Points you purchase.  This offer expires today – October 8.

Get 1 Year UPS My Choice Premium Membership for $10 (Code UPSMyChoice10) (Targeted?)

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I just received this email from UPS regarding the 10th anniversary of UPS My Choice.  If you are not familiar with UPS My Choice, you can upgrade UPS SurePost packages from USPS to UPS Ground, you can redirect UPS packages to a local UPS Access Point (like a UPS Store), you can reschedule UPS deliveries, and reroute UPS packages for free.  Most of those UPS services cost $5-$6 per package, so this is a great deal to get unlimited services for $10 for an entire year.

Along with the email, there is a promo code (UPSMyChoice10) that you can use to get a UPS My Choice premium membership for only $10 for the first year (50% off the normal price).  You will need to click here, sign into your UPS account, and go through the UPS My Choice checkout / setup process to use the promo code.

PSA: Price Match In-Store Items with Online Items from Staples and Office Depot & Stack with Rewards

Good evening everyone, happy Friday.  A few weeks ago, my wife and I received emails regarding our Staples Rewards and Office Depot Rewards.  Somehow, I had $29 in Staples Rewards and my wife had $8.59 in Office Depot Rewards.  This afternoon, I printed out my $29 Staples Reward coupon and went to my local Staples Store to buy some ink for my printer.  Strangely, the price for the ink was more expensive at the Staples Store than on Staples.com.  When I went to check out, I asked the cashier if she would price match to the price on Staples.com and she said yes.  It seemed like a fairly common request to the cashier.  She looked at the price of the ink cartridge on Staples.com on my phone and matched the price.  I was then able to use my Staples Rewards to pay for the item.  In this post, I will show you more information regarding the price match process and show a similar process for Office Depot items.
