Name Not Correct in Credit Report
My credit report shows my name followed by Sr.; ie, Frugal Pete Sr. The Sr. designation is incorrect. Transunion states that to write to them I need to provide full name (including if Sr.!), SSN, addresses for last 2 years, DOB, government ID, and copy of utility bill/bank statement etc. Can I easily remove that Sr, and can I just notify one credit agency?

IRS Publication 17 explains this. Page 191 gives an example where an employee drives 10,000 miles and the employer reimburses $4,000. She can complete Form 2106 to itemize the difference of $1350.

Big news during the financial crisis whan a MM fund went under $1/share. The fed government imposed more stringent rules after that, but its may still be possible, although very unlikely. -

RE: Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts
@alanmax Fed will likely raise rates again but methinks it will take some time, perhaps to end of year, for them to get to around 1% or a bit higher. In the meantime, the Marcus CD is earning 1.1% for 10months and it’ll be a good time to look around when it matures.

RE: Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts
@atikovi And, its a bit more effort to change direct deposits to somewhere else so the bank thinks its likely the DD will continue once they have it.

RE: Target Circle 15% off a purchase valid to 7/13 only (YMMV)
15% and 5% off only gives you 19.25% off. The discounts are not addictive. you pay .85*.95=.8075 of the original price which is the 19.25% off.

Auto Price Protection with Earny
This came up on my yahoo email because of online purchase acknowledgements to my email. It seems reasonable without any effort on my part, but does anyone have experience with it?
We’ve partnered with Earny to provide automatic price protection.
Earny covers purchases from Amazon, Macy’s, Walmart, Gap Group, Nordstrom, and over 35 + top brands to get you refunds whenever prices drop throughout the eligible price protection period, typically up to 90 days. Earny does all of this for you automatically!
Earny files price adjustment claims. This includes finding price drops, gathering the relevant information, filling out a form and reaching out either to the retailer or credit card issuer to get your money back.
In return for this service, Earny collects 25% of the refunds he successfully gets for you at the end of each month by charging a credit card you provide.

RE: Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts
Only Vanguard Brokerage, has SIPC coverage: “Securities in your brokerage account are held in custody by Vanguard Brokerage Services, a division of Vanguard Marketing Corporation. Vanguard Marketing Corporation is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at sipc.org.” The available MM fund in that is their Federal MM which has a slightly lower interest rate, but earnings from it are not subject to state tax.
Also, SIPC does not protect against the decline in value of your securities.

RE: Best type of (Vanguard) mutual fund for young adult, that will probably withdraw for a home within 10 years?
Note that you can also buy other companies’ mutual funds (and stocks, bonds and ETFs) through a Vanguard brokerage account. If you like health related mutual funds, look also at T Rowe Price Health Science, available in Van brokerage, which has surpassed Van Health Care the past 5 years (I haven’t checked further back).
Disclosure: I own both those funds.

RE: ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINKS! Buy 2 Single Cans, get $5 Venmo/Paypal Rebate via Text Submit (See post for details)
Why me!? My last 3 submissions were initially denied because no rewards available or promotion ended. I contacted their support each time. The first time, was approved in a couple of days; second time, took a week for approval; third time took almost 3 weeks with three emails and one text to support before approval.
