I got this in my and DH’s email. the code for 20% Family and Friends x10/9 is BUYNOW to use online. To use in-store, download the coupon with barcode and PIN for cashier to scan.
I’m glad they’re making up for our “loss” on the $10/$30 DiscoverIT KCs…lol
@ritholtz code I used for regular savings where I already got $200 bonus is S817 which IINM expired Oct 2.
we have AAA membership so I’ll apply by Tuesday for AAA bonus.
I haven’t opened this account yet but I received my $200 bonus from savings. Account opened 9/18 with $5K, then another $15K on 9/20. Small interest posted by 9/30 and then yesterday I saw the $200 bonus posted.
Do I have to close this savings account first before I open the AAA Discover? TIA

this will make good desktop monitors if you’re looking for one that’s cheap. I haven’t looked into reviews though.
@marcopolomle the only reason I can think of is she wasn’t thinking ahead and just focused on getting a lower premium. the problem is, she wanted to pay less without knowing where she will get the deductible when an accident happens. IMO, as long as one has EF saved they can pull out in case of emergency, opting for high deductible is a smart way to save money.
btw, talking of deductibles, I know of someone who chose the highest deductible to get lower premiums on their auto insurance. Then one day, she got involved in a minor accident that needed minor repairs to her car. When she filed a claim, she realized she has to come up with her deductible first before insurance takes the rest of the tab; she didn’t have an EF to cover for it so she can’t have her vehicle repaired.
We have free supply of wood from a tree company that dumps the tree cuttings in our property. We invested in a wood burning heater and log splitter which were not cheap, but it has lowered our bills during the winter. I also managed to sell the excess wood we have when people stop by offering X amount for Y amount of wood; I take whatever offer knowing supply always gets replenished.
We’ve also maxed out our home insurance deductible to the point we’re “insuring” ourselves for catastrophic events. We came with this decision based on our emergency funds stash. Should there be any damages that need to be repaired that is less than our deductible, we know we can take care of it. Right now, DH does minor repairs here and there to prevent serious damages. It seems costly at times but we’re of the mindset that it’s going to be way more expensive if we don’t make the necessary repairs now.
@mikk1 yes, the gutter guards at Lowe’s are not that expensive but for us who have a lot of trees, the benefits far outweigh the cost even if one has to pay someone to install them in case you can’t do it yourself. We have saved thousands of dollars because DH is an all around handyman.
We are surrounded by trees in our property. We consulted an arborist when we noticed rotting at the base of a huge oak tree in the front yard. Recommendation was to take it down because it cannot stand a strong gush of wind. As much as I wanted to preserve it, the consultant said it cannot be saved. It would’ve cost more if the tree fell towards the main road where vehicles pass that can possibly cause damage to life, limb and properties.
