@sonofzeus I have the same, it’s the offer ID.
Check on the right side where there is the offer ID and a PIN. My PIN ends 3350. Thinking that the PIN may be unique.

@jess888 I agree with you. Would like to see a single thread for the books. If there was a problem with too many “generic” posts, it could be addressed in that thread.

Thanks @ctujackbauer
I’m pretty vigilant about keeping my info secure. This just feels too close to home (compared to a password/user name leak)

So, besides changing passwords… What can I do now? I can’t change my name/address/DL/imei/etc

Hey @sonofzeus try it again. I just got through.

@mom2jel I got the same refresh message but after refreshing a few times over about 5 minutes my order was complete. Pretty sure I got in in time but the site was clearly overloaded.

Bottle opener arrived today … POSTAGE DUE. Did this happen to anyone else?
I could pay USPS $3 for my prize or refuse delivery and it gets sent back.

@Global-Moderators So this should be moved to referrals?

Thanks again to all for your suggestions. We ended up finding a little local bank who would give a second loan on our primary property. Borrowed enough for both the vacant lot purchase and to do the floors in my parent’s house. Bank paid all closing costs including a new appraisal. Only drawback now is they are 60-ish days out for closing.

Thanks OP. Was able to sign up yesterday and have already cashed out $5 Amazon gift card!

@kohlspowrshopper Thanks so much for your suggestion.
We looked at HELOC but banks are not lending on my second home and my primary was recently purchased so I’m too close to the 80% LTV for them to loan 50k…

Haven’t heard of Private Money Lenders but that’s certainly something to look into, thanks. Has anyone had a good experience with any particular private lending company?

@tedteddy Thanks, will definitely look into that!

@bc We first talked to two banks, the one who holds the mortgage on my primary home and the bank who holds the mortgage on my parents’. Neither will float a second loan on a property that is not my primary property. To get a line on my primary property, I’d have to pay for an appraisal up front and hope they find it satisfactory enough to grant the equity line/second mortgage.

After this frustration we went to our local credit union but their guidelines were even more strict and we walked out of there feeling defeated. Currently searching for recommendations for a broker who is willing to work with us. We have the income, we have the credit, just need to find someone willing to lend so I don’t have to shell out my cash.

Seriously, @pitcherswife? That tweet is almost 4 years old!

I appreciate your contributions but could you please review before you post? Quality over quantity in 2021?

@bc Appreciate the reply!
I have a call into our bank but no one from loans is available until the new year so I thought I’d reach out to you all for advice while I’m waiting on them.
I have 3.8% on my parent’s house with about 20 years left on that loan.

I’m looking to purchase the vacant lot next to my house but need advice on types of loans. Do banks even loan for vacant property? I have some cash but not enough to buy it outright.
I’ve talked to the neighbor who is selling the lot and we’ve tentatively agreed on a purchase price of $50k. My income and credit should easily support this price, I just need advice how to best finance it.

I currently have a mortgage on my home but I just recently purchased it and it is approximately at 80% LTV (based on an appraisal 5 years ago)
I own a second home which my parents live in (they lost theirs to foreclosure so I purchased a home solely for them). This property has a mortgage of about $55k on it with an unknown value - last appraisal was done about 10 years ago. I’m guessing it might be valued around $150k now.
Side note, I’ve been considering a $15k home improvement loan on my parent’s property to redo their floors but have no idea if I could finance that together?

Welcome your questions and appreciate any advice you all might have. TIA!

@mrsguin said in Free Pair of Crocs for Medical Workers - 20,000 Per Day at 12pm:

@my4mainecoons I need to also thank you for being a medical worker. You guys/girls take too many chances.

Thanks. Firefighter/Paramedic here. When you are aware and take precautions it’s “just another day”. People need us and that’s why we do what we do. Or maybe we’re just too stubborn to let a pandemic stop us LOL

Finally snagged a pair! Don’t know if it will help anyone else, but if it does, here’s my story.

I’ve been trying daily since this promo started with no luck. One day I found I could “get in line” as early as 9am (Eastern)… They automatically place you “in line” when the promo starts at Noon (Eastern).

So for a few days I clicked early and let them place me in line. Sadly, I was thinking I’d be placed near the front of the line. Actually on those days, the bar which shows the queue hardly ever moved.

Today, I was working and distracted most of the morning. By the time I realized it was Noon, I rushed to click the “get in line” button. It was 12:01 and I thought they would be all gone for the day. Nope! I was placed “in line” and within a minute or so the bar started to move. At 12:15, it reached all the way to the end and I was presented with a form to complete. A confirmation email was received a little while after that.

To all of you who are still trying, I wish you good luck!

A few years back with the real estate boom, my area in FL was one of the top growing areas in the country. Then, when many could not pay for their homes when the bubble burst, they simply abandoned properties. The following is my understanding which relates to my area, check with your local county though.

When you abandon a property, the taxes continue to accrue and you are liable for them. However, at some point, the county will want their money and they are able to sell your home to the highest bidder. (My county still does this on a weekly basis!)

When the property sells at auction, you no longer own the home and therefore no longer held liable to pay any back or future property taxes.

The highest bidder wins, and now owns, the property. The back taxes/fees are paid from their bid. Sometimes the winner pays as little as just the balance of the taxes plus auction fees! Any overage though is paid to other lien holders. If there are no other liens, the person who abandoned the property is entitled to the overage paid at auction. (They’d have to track it down though, they are not usually contacted to claim it.)

The new owner now may be responsible to pay any other liens on the property, including mortgage, if the winning bid was not high enough to cover it all. However most will find a good lawyer and have the liens cleared so they can have a sellable title - then they flip and sell these properties.

Not knowing the area where you live and how much is owed vs. market price, I don’t know that I can share advice. If I were in your position and the home was in my area, I’d sell the house and walk away with (hopefully) some money in my pocket. Best wishes to you however you choose to move forward!

Amazon is now giving priority to hospitals and government organizations for COVID-19 related supplies. This includes face shields, thermometers, protective gloves, face masks, surgical gowns, and sanitizers.

To request access for these essential supplies, one must contact Amazon with their organization information and a customer advisor “will be in touch.”

Amazon is sending me emails and ads on their site encouraging me to sign up for Amazon Business. I’m not seeing a whole lot of details about it and why it might be beneficial. Do any of you have experience and could offer advice about this? TIA

@connman said in Official Recyclebank Master Thread:

Looks like today’s QotD didn’t give any points…I emailed support to let them know.

Same here. Said Points Earned before I even did anything and did not award points after answering question.

Thank you all for your replies!

I need to replace all 4 tires on my truck soon. Looking for the best value. Where do you recommend I go?

TIA!

@dianeinct said in BIC Gelocity pens Free After rebate up to $16-- via mail in submission ends 9/7:

Has anyone received their rebate? I’m still waiting on mine. Submitted at end of July.

I mailed mine in right away (about 3 months ago) and here is the message I got when I tracked my rebate:

We have received your claim, mailed form, UPC and receipt and your rebate is being processed. Your check will go out within 3-4 weeks.

I’ve been getting that same message for months as well. Just haven’t made the time to call the phone number and inquire yet.

@ruthie No, not yet

I’m getting free HBO this weekend on Xfinity. They are calling it “Summer Free Preview”

Now $0.55

Worked for me. Filled in all of the required information about my pet and it showed the profile as 80% complete… no coupon anywhere. So I went back and answered the first two “optional” questions and the profile was at 100% completed. Poof! The coupon appeared in the middle of the page as I scrolled down. Thanks OP!

@flatbob Thanks so much for your suggestion. I’ll look into it!

Any and all recommendations welcome!

Looking for a Learning Management System online that would be used for 200-250 clients to take one class every two years. Maybe I’ll eventually create more courses but it’s not currently in the works. I don’t expect many clients in between this influx of 200 (maybe 5-10 people each quarter) so I would really like an inexpensive system so I’m not paying a whole lot when I’m not actively using it.

Features I need:

• white label, or ability to add my own customization to client’s interface
• create the course in the LMS (or import ppt)
• supports video, images, etc on all devices
• be able to create and include quizzes
• send custom certificates upon completion of course
• maintain record of which users have completed the course
• restrict access to only pre-approved clients/emails
• allow clients to access 24/7
• would be nice to have live desktop/webinar-type training available (like go to meeting) but not a requirement
• preferably online but open to ideas for a local software - whatever is going to work best for my needs

TIA!

@angryeyebrows thanks. I have to have MS Office for work but was always unsure about buying on ebay. Good to hear positive feedback.

@lawomaniam1 said in $5 Bonus Card for every $10 in Taco Bell eGift Cards Purchased:

@mrvietnam

I can’t get the damn cards to work…I called a week ago, no email or callback.

Ditto. I’m calling every three days… what’s the resolution?

I sent a submission through their “contact us” form on Friday because my bonus card was showing a $0 bal but I had never used it… Did not hear back and called customer service late on Monday. Representative said she was forwarding my issue to the gift card dept and I should get an email or call from them in 3 business days. Tomorrow is the third day so I guess I’ll follow up with another phone call on Friday if I don’t hear from them first. I just really hope they clear this up before the card expires…

Worked without a hitch for me yesterday.

@noahbody said in Target.com: 10% Off Target Gift Cards *Sunday 12/2 Only*:

Is it possible to use the Target 10% gift card to purchase an online T-Mobile refill card?

Good question! Can you use the gift card purchased at a discount to purchase other gift cards, like Visa or Amex?
