Good evening everyone, I just got back from Sam’s Club and have some interesting things to share. If you not aware, there is currently an AMEX Offer for SamsClub.com where you can get a $20 statement credit after spending $20 or more online. The offer is pretty good, you basically get 100% cash back if you purchase exactly $20. Completing the online offer is a bit more challenging.

Good evening everyone, it was a crazy busy weekend, but I hope this week will be less crazy and more writing-oriented. I am only about a million blog posts behind, but I will find time to get to them all…
Anyway, I’m sure everyone and their mother has gotten in on the Smart & Final AMEX Offer (I actually took my mom to Smart & Final over the weekend to do some “grocery shopping”). I shared my experience purchasing 15+ gift cards at Smart & Final here. Just when I thought I was maximizing my savings, I learn about a new gift card offer…

Good morning everyone, sorry for being MIA (missing in action) the last few days, my cousin / roommate got married yesterday, so this week has been very busy helping out and picking up relatives from the airport. I am severely “backblogged” at the moment, but here is a quick reminder in regards to AMEX Offers. As you probably know, American Express has been quite generous lately with their AMEX Offers (see Smart & Final and SamsClub.com).
Good morning everyone, just a quick update on my travel plans over the next few months. Even though the FTU Advanced Dallas just ended last weekend, I will return to Dallas for the next FTU Advanced Dallas event on September 25-27. Tickets are $249 and the Hyatt Regency has a $99/night group rate. The hotel is within walking distance of DFW Airport. If you are skeptical of attending by yourself, read this post: Why you Should go to Travel Conferences by Yourself #Rant.
Update and Warning: the purpose of this post was to show what the new PPMCCs looked like and show how the PPMCC loading website has changed. I did not mention the danger of using PPMCCs as a way to MS and I wanted to make it very clear that PPMCCs are very dangerous, if you value your PayPal account. If you withdraw funds from your PayPal account or transfer funds to another PayPal account, you will receive a warning email from PayPal. If you continue, they may freeze your account and hold the funds in your account for up to 6 months. For most people, it is better to stay far, far away from PPMCCs. You have been warned.
Good evening everyone, I stopped by my local CVS and noticed a new gift card on the gift card rack. The traditional white PayPal My Cash Card (PPMCC) has changed and is now mostly light blue. The loading process is almost identical to before, but has a better user interface now. Just like the Vanilla Reload Cards back in the day (RIP old friend), these cards have a date stamp (0215v1) which means February 2015, version 1. I was able to purchase this card with my credit card at CVS without any problems. The card says reusable on the front, so I wonder how that would work.
