Users on DOC and Facebook reported that the signup page has fine print saying that you authorize Aven the ability to pull tax transcripts (hence the notifications about IRS 4506C forms being sent out and pulled.)

I believe that Aven is using the tax transcript data as accurate’ish income data and combining it with the last 4 of SSNs and birthdays to apply for credit cards and HELOCs using your data, if your credit is not frozen.

I also believe that Aven is using the Plaid-linked bank accounts to set up the credit card and HELOC applications, although I initially thought that Plaid was just tokenized bank info without access to your actual bank account numbers. Not sure about that part.

Make sure your credit is frozen before doing this (if at all, I recommend against it) because there have been reports on DOC and Facebook about HELOC applications, credit card applications, and IRS 4506C forms being authorized and sent out from this company.

Kohl’s is having a Kohls cash giveaway event, in-store only, this weekend starting today ending Sunday 3/9.

You can get a $5, $10, $15, or $25 Kohls cash voucher coupon. Everyone gets one. If you don’t see the employees passing out coupons, ask an employee where to pick one up.

NE1 else have trouble redeeming the Columbia GC? I got the link, but when I click on the link to access the GC, it’s not retrieving it. Message says I can try again in 15 minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours.

Just wondering if others are having the same problem and if so, did it actually retrieve the GC. (I have a feeling I’m not going to get the GC. Oh well.)

Try a different web browser with adblocking and extensions disabled (rarely used Microsoft Edge works for this.)

ibotta added Costco to the participating stores for this $2.50 rebate. If you catch them on a restock, they’re pretty reliable to restock in the morning when it opens and I got them on a restock during the evening around 5 or 6 PM, for those who have had trouble finding eggs.

When Costco restocks eggs, they do it big-time, there’s usually enough for the morning crowd and there was quite a lot left in the evening restock. My Costco is limit 3 packages, which can be the 24-pack.

@ctujackbauer said in Ibotta: $2.50 back on any size/brand eggs (every Friday in February 2025):

@sonofzeus Screamin’ hot deal, thanks sonofzeus. Where did you read that it’s going to be offered every Friday in February 2025? I did a quick look at some of the ibotta emails and got lazy.

addendum, I should have googled:
