Would anyone like a referral to Marcus from me?

@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.

@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.

@frugalpete I need to amend my post. The New York Times reporting today "Medicare, which covers roughly 60 million Americans, will provide free over-the-counter rapid coronavirus tests beginning in the spring, according to the federal government’s Medicare and Medicaid agency.

The policy would “allow Medicare beneficiaries to pick up tests at no cost at the point of sale and without needing to be reimbursed,” the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said on Thursday, adding that it would "be the first time Medicare covered the whole cost of an over-the-counter test.

@dangeruss President Biden ordered insurance companies to reimburse policy holders for up to 8 tests per month (I’m surprised he has that power). Many test kits contain 2 tests, so it would be 4 test kits in that case. Also, take note if this applies to you, Home covid tests are not covered by Medicare and many Medicare Advantage plans.

@mommyofhandk N95 masks are worn all day by front line medical workers.

is the $600 reporting for Swagbucks and Mypoints combined, or is it $600 each?
