@ctgolfer said in Incredible Bank $100 Checking Bonus + $100 Per Referral:

I’m “referring” everyone here at Phatwallet to sign up. Do I get $100 per member?

Yes.

After getting nothing for years - literally, years - I’ve gotten 3 different ones of these in a row. And used them all. To buy approximately $10.50 worth of product each time.

Staples’ email algorithm mystifies me.

@honkinggoose said in Common sense rules of banking - tips & tricks !:

I’ve opened 3 checking accounts in the past 6 years where I needed checks. Only one of the banks offered free checking. That didn’t stop me from asking, and getting them for free at all three. I haven’t yet had to re-order.

Good call. It never (well, almost never) hurts to ask!

IIRC last time around many people successfully received second bonus just 1-2 month after receiving the first bonus and closing the account.
YMMV

Thanks. Will try this in the branch and report back.

@mommyofhandk said in Target: 2-Count 94.5oz All Liquid Laundry Detergent + $5 Target Gift Card for $13.28:

FYI, DollarTree is having nice laundry stuff. I got Fab and Ajax detergent and Suavitel liquid and softener sheets. You can also order online and pick up at store.

Good deals. Sounds like someone needs to create a new thread in hot deals!

EDIT2: It’s working now.

Nifty, their site is having issues, when I try to add the Ultra Soft Mega to cart I get an error that “something went wrong”

Edit: tried the double plus of the same type and got the same message.

@vegasvegan said in AmEx Offer: Spend $99+ On Amazon Prime Membership & Receive 5,000 Membership Rewards:

@marcopolomle Thanks got the offer. Noticed a little different wording on this one.
You need to buy by 1/31/18 but points wont be dolled out until 3/2/18 (within 90 days).
I’m guessing the month extra is to try and deter people from from cancelling Prime and keeping points.
Even though you can get a refund if you don’t use any prime benefits. Usually says they will be dolled out at the time the offer expires (within 90 days)

Now I have to find out if it will work on Gift of Prime. Doesn’t exclude it by name but does say “does not apply to other Amazon memberships or subscriptions including but not limited to monthly Amazon Prime membership, Amazon Fresh, Prime Video or Prime Student”

Even though in the terms it says you won’t get your 5,000 Membership Rewards points until within 90 days of 3/2/18, I just got my 5,000 MR points this morning (I subscribed to Prime 4 days ago).

@ma-barker said in Experian Dark Web Email Scan:

@dangeruss yes and so far I’m satisfied with their service.

Kind of like these guys were satisfied?

I guess you really won’t know how good these guys are until your # ends up on the dark web and one of them catches it and not the other.

And once you find out that it is on the dark Web - what do you do?

Could a person theoretically use up the minutes from this promotion and then switch the phone back to Straight Talk? (Since Straight Talk is administered by Tracfone.)

M1 Finance - allows one to own a portfolio of individual stocks or ETFs, based on my defined allocations. Now, if I want to add to my position in 15 stocks, I make a deposit and the computer divides it up to the penny so as to bring my holdings closer into balance. They charge .15% of assets under management for accounts >$100,000. It is very nifty.

@zerenia said in Post your favorite windows software thread:

LastPass plugins and Android app. Now free synch of passwords across all platforms. Form filler works great!

Do you run Android Apps inside Chrome ?

Have a question, for anyone out there with a XFinity branded Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+, do you know what your voicemail # is set to when you hold down the 1 key in the dialer which should be shown also in the settings menu of the Phone/Dialer app? Also, does anyone know if Video Calling works with the S8/S+ or any other phone on XFinity Mobile for that matter? Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome, fivetalents! Glad to be here.

Freedom CU 12mo CD still at 5.37% APY & 18mo CD at 5.11% APY

NASA FCU 9mo CD still at 5.40% APY & 15mo CD at 5.25% APY

@briarycliffs do these phones allow wifi calling/wifi data?

@MISTERCHEAP
Yes on both although I have never used Wi-Fi calling. My phone is almost exclusively on wifi, so the data should last me all year long.

Thank you, gives a better starting point

Another monthly statement closed, and within a couple of days I’ve been qualified for the Platinum Honors. So I signed up, and my future charges starting the following day started earning the extra bonus percentage of 75%.

It’s still not clear to me how the determine eligibility, but I am guessing they needed a second monthly statement. My one month average balance / 3 would still qualify me so I have no idea how the determined eligibility.
