  MoviePass Borrowed $5M to End Friday's Outage After Missing Bill Payment, Business Model May Not Be Sustainable [Blackouts, Restrictions to Increase]

  MoviePass abruptly changed their previously announced terms… again. It now appears that the 3 movie per month limit will come with more restrictions like a daily list of 6 - 7 permitted movies (that doesn’t change much week to week), limited showtimes based on popularity of film, blacked out first run new releases, and Uber-style surge pricing on (additional fees for hot movies). These changes seem temporary since they promise “exciting… additional features and service offerings — that will bring greater value.”

  Meanwhile, shareholders just filed a class action lawsuit against MoviePass’ primary owner Helios and Matheson which introduced the original $9.95 movie-a-day plan.

  Tasha Robinson  /  Aug 16 The new MoviePass plan has arrived, and it’s weird

  ‘For the time being.’

  @mrvietnam said in PSA: Amex Offers Multi-Tab Trick is Dead along with Creating Separate Log-Ins.There’s Now a Hard Limit of One Offer per Person/SS#.:

  DangeRuss, you may have had the Staples offer in multiple accounts with the same AU, but do they show up in saved offers after saving them all? I had the offer in multiple accounts as the primary cardmember but only one actually saved (the one I saved first) even after saving them all. This new policy really makes the Am Ex card less valuable to me. Looks like I may be closing some accounts soon.

  Yes, I relogged in and the AUs have the offer on multiple accounts saved.

  It is curious that none of the “mobsters, psychics, strip club owners, convicts, drug traffickers, and even a family of Mormons” were prosecuted and no one was held accountable for nearly $12 million.

  The other day I went to get gas, and before I could swipe my card, this guy came up to me and said that if I wanted 1/2 price gas, go to his cousin waiting at pump 10. I looked, and a number of people were doing it. I said “thanks, but no thanks.” I’m still wondering what his scam was, but it goes to show how thieves will pull any and everyone into their scams to maximize profits.

  Well I assume if they don’t refund, you can always charge back on the CC. Unless you paid with a debit card or something, then it might be a little more difficult.

  The outbreak is spreading and the number states impacted grown to 23 or more.

  “The FDA has posted a list of stores and states where recalled pre-cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fruit medley products were sold. Additional stores and locations may be added as FDA receives more information.”

  https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/Outbreaks/UCM610720.pdf

  So, you can now look up the address of a specific store in your state to see if you may have purchased contaminated pre-cut fruit. Fruit that was cut up in-store/by the store itself from whole fruits is not included in the recall.

  @my4mainecoons Sure if you can find a $1 item. With all the buy/returns, you then have to worry about Best Buy banning you from returning items, even if you have the receipt. See here:
  Khadeeja Safdar  /  Business How Your Returns Are Used Against You at Best Buy, Other Retailers

  Best Buy is one of several chains using a third-party service to score customers’ shopping behavior and impose limits on the amount of merchandise they can return.

  Add outline.com/ in front to bypass the paywall if you’re not a subscriber.

  Maybe wait until you can get to a state with a high cashout threshhold, like California’s $9.99, and do the buy/return process there.

  @frugalfreak

  some people want a sandwich, not a salad, if I wanted a salad, I’d buy a salad. Firehouse Subs and Quizno were much better. Never tried Jimmy john or other sub shop. but the quality of the meat, like the chicken is very low quality.

  FYI: You’re not missing a damn thing with Jimmy Johns dried out sheet rock that they like to call bread, or their nasty processed and pressed “meat.” It usually surfaces at work for our board meetings and I avoid it like the plague.

  @mrvietnam Sounds a little Chicken Little to me. It will take more than the word of a fuel delivery guy for me to believe it. Like a memo? Like something in the news? Look at how much advance notice was given about Plenti & Macy’s parting company. RA has committed to accepting PP until Dec. 31, 2019.

  Well, Maine, I am sure you have by now read the memo. Indeed, the Plenti program is closing down on Tuesday, July 10. 2018. The word of the fuel delivery guy happened to be spot on.

  @c3 Yes, one was expiring on 3/31. The other certificate expires in April and I did not want to use that one first as it would have covered the entire purchase. One would think that using the rewards certificate on the last day would not matter…but I would not be surprised.

  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!

  @mistercheap
  Yes, Toys R Us has filed for bankruptcy and is in process of being liquidated. After 70 years in business, the iconic retailer is set to close out U.S. operations before the end of the year.

  USAToday clarified with a Toys R Us spokesperson via email today that all gift cards will continue to be valid for 30 days. Gift cards should continue to work through April 13th. Be sure to use all your gift cards up by then. Use them sooner rather than later since you never know what kind of stock will remain in the stores as they continue depleting their inventory.

  Wow, I knew Amazon suddenly stopped allowing anyone who bought a product at a discount to do a review, and now I understand why. I have been ordering items regularly from a discount code site for a couple of years now (originally learned about them through FatWallet), and my reviews have always been fair, honest and honorable, written only after using the product long enough to give it a decent trial. However, for the last month, I cannot do a review on anything unless I paid full price for it and couldn’t understand why Amazon got so draconian. I was so mad about not being able to post a review of a great extra-large mousepad that I bought a second one at the full low price for my husband so I could post my review because I thought it was that good. No, I have not received mystery packages.
