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.

Chime Card Update: 3% Fee being Charged to PayPal Business Debit Cards and $200 Maximum Payment
Chime Card Update: 3% Fee being Charged to PayPal Business Debit Cards and $200 Maximum Payment
D-Day Fee-Day is upon us. As of right now, Chime has started charging a 3% fee for PayPal Business Debit Card loads. I tested on the desktop and from the iPhone app and the result is the same. I tried adding a credit card to Chime, but that didn’t work either. Interesting note, there does not seem to be a $25 minimum payment amount, as was previously expected, but the $200 maximum payment limit is enforced.
Here is what the process looks like from the desktop:

The day has finally come… Chime Card (learn more here) will start charging a 3% fee on October 8 for using certain debit cards, specifically the PayPal Business Debit Card. In this post, I will do some math to see if it is still worth loading the Chime Card with a PayPal Business Debit Card.

New Discover It Chrome Card and Minor Changes to the PayPal Business Debit Card Terms
New Discover It Chrome Card and Minor Changes to the PayPal Business Debit Card Terms
In other credit card related news, Discover announced a new version of the Discover It… the Discover It Chrome Card. I personally like the color better. The new version of the Discover It credit card now earns 2% cash back on all restaurant purchases and gas station purchases, year round. There is a cap, however. You can only earn 2% cash back on the first $1,000 of combined purchases each quarter.
