Attend FTU Virtual Seminar on February 20 ($25) or Free with FTU Online Annual Membership

Good morning everyone, happy Presidents’ Day and I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day weekend too.  If you have no plans this coming Saturday (February 20), I highly recommend attending the FTU Virtual Seminar (tickets available for $25).  The seminar starts on Saturday at 11am ET / 8am PT.  I really enjoyed attending the first FTU Virtual Seminar back on December 12 and I’m sure this seminar will be just as entertaining and educational.  If you have the FTU Online Annual Membership, you can attend the seminar for free.

If you registered for the seminar on Saturday, but are unable to watch the live stream, you can access the recording of the seminar and watch later on.  This is also a great way to re-watch your favorite presentations and catch any details that you originally missed.

Chase Saved Account Manager: Track Where your Credit Cards are Stored Online & in Mobile Wallets

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  I just got an email from Chase and I scrolled all the way to the bottom and saw a section called “Track where your card is stored.”  I decided to look into this feature, which is called the Chase Saved Account Manager.  It is actually pretty cool and helpful to see where your credit cards are stored online or in mobile wallets (like ApplePay and Google Pay).  This could be a useful feature if your old credit card expires and you need to update the credit card information or if your credit card is lost or stolen – you will know exactly which websites and apps have your credit card number stored (from previous online or in-app purchases).  Without further ado, let’s dive into the Chase Saved Account Manager feature.
