@frugalpete said in Disney + Hulu W/Ads $2.99/mo for 4 months Ends On March 30th:

Are the ads in Disney and Hulu with this offer, only at the beginning of movies so there is no ad interruption later?

Only Peacock does this. HBO Max will frontload the ads for the major Warner Bros movie releases in the first few weeks on the platform. Hulu used to frontload ads a long time ago, but stopped.

Surprisingly, Netflix has the least amount of ads per movie/per hour. One or two 15 to 30 seconds ads per hour. Netflix says they made more profit off of the ads than their entire subscription business, it’s a big driver of their growth for now.

The Topcashback hummingbird search game is back. Git them quarters! If you have trouble figuring out a day’s puzzle, the Topcashback facebook page usually has commenters spoiling the answer.

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.)
