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.

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

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.
