Good afternoon everyone, I buy a lot of items on Ebay and use a lot of Ebay gift cards to pay for those items.  With Frequent Miler’s recent post regarding Ebay gift cards and Doctor of Credit’s recent post about Ebay shopping portals, I thought it would be a good idea to show you where to find your unused Ebay gift cards.  I will show you where to look when you log into your PayPal account from a desktop computer and from the Ebay app on your smartphone.

Log into your PayPal account from your desktop computer and click the Wallet tab at the top of the screen.

American Express Platinum, Staples.com Offer, and Chase Ritz-Carlton Statement Credits

AMEX Plat Card

In this post, I will cover the American Express Platinum $200 airline travel reimbursement credit, the recent $25 statement credit for Staples.com purchases of $100 or more, an American Express Travel AMEX Offer, and my recent Chase Ritz-Carlton airline reimbursement credits.  First off, I received 2 $100 statement credits on my American Express Platinum Credit Card for purchasing 2 $100 Southwest Airlines eGift Cards.  The process is super easy, both statement credits posted automatically 3 days after the charges posted.  This helpful FlyerTalk thread has all the details for every airline that the American Express Platinum Credit Card works with.

US Bank FlexPerks $24,000 Spend Bonus and PayPal Extras MasterCard 50,000 Point Annual Cap

FlexPerks Visa Signature Card

Good morning everyone, just a few quick credit card related pieces of information to pass on.  Back in October, I wrote about the US Bank and Visa Checkout promo.  It looks like the 1,000 bonus FlexPoints just posted to my account a few days ago.  If you signed up for the promo, you should see your bonus points post soon.  I also found out that I had spent over $24,000 on my US Bank FlexPerks Credit Card, which earned me 3,500 bonus FlexPoints.  Apparently, I can redeem 3,500 FlexPoints to pay for my $49 annual fee.  I plan on calling US Bank and asking them to waive the annual fee.  I didn’t spend $24,000 on their card to not have to pay the annual fee, that is ridiculous.  I will let you know how that call goes in a few months.
