Let me know what you’d like besides shoes or fashion, lol and I can help you find something. Can’t let $30 go to waste!

Thanks @my4mainecoons
I managed to get that pair of shoes I wanted since they dropped the price last night.
Thanks again for helping me figure things out

Buyer beware - if it sounds too good to be true…

On further research I found this guy to have his own agenda in upselling some VPNs.
I tried out VyprVPN and found out it frequently disconnects.

Thanks, Got one.
But OOS now.

@mrvietnam said in Amazon Dash Wand is now $13.47 and still includes the $20 credit after your first purchase using the wand (credit expires 6/1/18) Warning: $20 credits have not been posting automatically for many. I expired it but mods unexpired it.:

@fivetalents said in Expired: Amazon Dash Wand is now $13.62 and still includes the $20 credit after your first purchase using the wand (credit expires 6/1/18):

Why did you edit your title to say “expired” @MrVietnam? The price is still getting cheaper (currently $13.56) and the $20 credit doesn’t expire for months (“Promotional credit expires at 11:59 p.m. (PT) June 1, 2018.”).

I “Unexpired” it.
Hope I did not annoy anyone

I expired it because no one was getting the $20 credit automatically unless you chatted with Amazon customer service and when Amazon agreed to issue it it was showing up as a goodwill credit. I have a large banked gift card balance and I do not want to go around asking for credits from Amazon and potentially put my gift card moved at risk. HTH

Don’t you think it’s better to put YMMV instead of EXPIRED ?

The Fine Print
Valid through April 15, 2018.
$75 threshold can be met in a single purchase or across multiple purchases.

Stacking the Deal

Aside from the Amex Offer mentioned above, there’s a separate Amex Offer deal to get a bonus Membership Rewards point for each dollar spent at Boxed. Be sure to save that offer too on your MR cards.
Go through a shopping portal
New users can get $15 off $60 with referral
First-time Boxed users can get $15 back from Swagbucks when shopping $20+ in the groceries category. (This stacks with the referral bonus.)
$20 back on $50 purchase for first time Boxed customers by linking your credit card with Drop and saving the offer (note: terms say this offer can’t be combined with other offers; but it seems to work anyway)
Add some free Boxed samples to your orders

Thanks DoC

I’m using PIA vpn service and it has worked well for last 3 years.
I have nothing to compare it with since it has been the only VPN I have ever used.
So, take it with a grain of salt.

@mikk1 said in VPNs:

@marcopolomle - did you sign up for any of them? If so, which one and what are your impressions if you don’t mind sharing?

I am still researching which is mind boggling.
On more research I have come to the realization that no VPN is even close to what they advertise. You can read about it here:
The impossible task of creating a “Best VPNs” list
Most VPN Services are Terrible
The Problem with the Tor Network and Commercial VPNs
IPv6 Leakage and DNS Hijacking in Commercial VPN clients
https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-section/

So, in a nutshell, decide based on your requirements but know what you are getting.
DO NOT expect a commercial VPN to provide you anonymity but just use it to be safer on the net especially while using public WiFi.
Personally, I’m leaning towards VyprVPN or continuing with PIA.
Unless you know coding and want to try out likes of Algo or Streisand etc, there aren’t many good options.

Just came to know about this plan.
Wonder why this has not become popular?
Apparently LG X Charge from Xfinity should work after unlock.
This also has Global roaming for free at 2G.
You can also transfer the service to a different phone which is not in the list.

Great tablet for the price once you install Google Play store in 5 easy steps.
I got few 7 & 8 s for $15 & $30 few months ago but if you don’t have time machine then this is great price.

I have over 15000 minutes and 3Gb of data on my tracfone and my airtime is about to expire and I can’t find any “trick” to just extend the time.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
