RE: Long term car rental. Tips tricks for the best rate or upgrades
Without running $$, I second Costco.
When I rented a car (week), they had the best rates. -
RE: Lands End~50% off any regular priced item~Today Only
If you have a Lands End Outlet near, you can go into the store to order (any $) and get free shipping.
I can personally attest to the fantastic quality of LE items - especially their backpacks (good for kids through middle school, then I recommend SwissGear backpacks for high school & college kids)
The LE winter coats are the absolute best for Minnesota winters; the quality of them last through a hand-me-down between three sons, and still in good enough shape to sell them when they have outgrown them.

RE: Mobile Auto Oil Rebate, up to $17 rebate, 4 offers
Has anyone tried this for Sam’s Club?
I noticed today that the Mobil 1 was on sale for $27.78 (for 6 qts).ETA - nevermind, WalMart is slightly cheaper.
FWIW - one guy on SD says Mobil honored his Sam’s receipt for his rebate. -
RE: Team Kiva: PhatWallet (formerly known as FatWallet)
@jtownsucks46 said in Team Kiva: PhatWallet (formerly known as FatWallet):
@mom2jel Is there the potential to make money or is this solely charity?
Charity only - BUT, you can get all of your $ back (if you wish) if the loans aren’t defaulted.
I originally put in $100 and made four loans; when the money was paid back, I kept re-loaning (and donate a small amount each time to offset the Kiva costs). That $100 helped 59 people!

RE: Post your favorite Apps thread
Google Keep - notes, reminders, lists that will sync between all of your devices (I shared the grocery list with my family, so they can add items they would like).
MightyText - (similar to Pushbullet) get my phone texts on my pc.
Google Voice!
Android Pay - for storing all of my store rewards cards/numbers.
SecurityMaster - I use it to lock apps on my teenager’s phone, it’s the only one I have found that seems to work and that he can’t bypass.
DinnerTime Plus - semi-recommend for parents of kids/teens (one-time purchase upgrade is $3-4) - works pretty well at limiting cell phone time on kids phones. What I like about it, is that I can update the settings remotely from my phone or tablet (but not pc).
Migraine Buddy
NapTime
Google Drive - I have everything synced to my pc, so I can access my files from anywhere.
Sprint Drive First - they’ve taken it off the store, but here’s the APK. You do not have to be a Sprint customer to use this more info about it. I like it best for the options it has. -
RE: Windows 10 - free?
Another (laptop) that activated itself!
We had to borrow MIL’s Dell Inspiron laptop that had the horrible Win8 on it. Nice enough laptop for a grandma, but the CPU & RAM suck.
One problem with it after another and I ended up formatting the hard drive (I did not intend on doing this!)
Installed Windows 10 on it, once I had everything set up, I went to check the activation - and it had already activated.p.s. I’m tired of working on other people’s pc’s!

Team Kiva: PhatWallet (formerly known as FatWallet)
Team FatWallet on Kiva has changed it’s name to PhatWallet and is looking for new members (lenders)!
Link: Kiva Team PhatWallet (since 2008!)I personally have made 59 loans, only one of those defaulted.
About Kiva:
Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 and based in San Francisco, with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. We celebrate and support people looking to create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.By lending as little as $25 on Kiva, anyone can help a borrower start or grow a business, go to school, access clean energy or realize their potential. For some, it’s a matter of survival, for others it’s the fuel for a life-long ambition.
100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans. Kiva covers costs primarily through optional donations, as well as through support from grants and sponsors.
tl;dr
Join Kiva, loan money to others in need, get your money back (99% of the time) and re-loan it, or transfer it back yourself.
