Good morning everyone, I have a few travel meetup reminders and announcements.  The official SF Travel Hackers Meetup group is meeting on Thursday night.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this event because I have tickets to the Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage symphony that same evening.  Pizza and drinks are usually provided by Dev Bootcamp, some come early for dinner and to mingle with other travel hackers.

Update: the event is changed from Dev Bootcamp to SOMA StrEat Food Park.

  • When: Thursday, July 14 @ 7-9pm
  • Where: SOMA StrEat Food Park, 428 11th St, San Francisco, CA (Google Map)

Good afternoon everyone, happy Sunday!  I just looked through all my American Express charge and credit cards and found a total of 32 new AMEX Offers that I have not seen before.  None of these are amazing money-making opportunities, but you might be able to save a few bucks for purchases you were going to make anyway.  Here are my top 4 favorite AMEX Offers:

  • EsteeLauder.com – $15 off $75
  • Jet.com – $10 off $50 (expires 6/30/2016)
  • Levi’s – $30 off $150
  • ModCloth.com – $20 off $100

Great First Experience Selling Gift Cards to SaveYa (13 Day Turnaround)

Good morning everyone, I hope your Wednesday is off to a great start.  2 weeks ago, I sold a few Panera Bread gift cards to SaveYa and I wanted to share my positive experience selling to SaveYa.  The first thing I did was look on Gift Card Granny’s sell prices for Panera Bread gift cards.  Let me explain that I love Panera Bread but there are no restaurants near me in San Francisco.  Plus, I bought these gift cards several months ago at a discount, so I don’t mind selling them for a big discount.
