Free Fuel Rewards Card from Shell
September 29th, 2012Guide to Chase Freedom’s Ultimate Rewards Cash Back Redemption
September 13th, 2012It took my Mom the longest time to get a Chase Freedom Card which is one of my favorite credit cards because of the 5% cash back and 1% back on everything else. One of the biggest obstacles is that you have to go in manually and get your cash back. Chase does not automatically give it to you. Hey, it’s free money and at 5% so you have to work a little for it right?
I put together a How to guide in redeeming your cash back from Chase Ultimate Rewards from the Freedom Visa or MasterCard. The first thing you do is make sure you have signed up for the rewards program for that quarter then after a month or more in some cases check to see what your rewards balance is by logging into Chase.com. Once you are ready to redeem your rewards you sign in and scroll down to your Freedom branded credit card.

American Express Account Notification Fraudulent Email
August 17th, 2012
I almost fell for this scam today while opening up one of my emails from who I thought was American Express Credit Cards. The email looked real with the traditional American Express logo and blue and white colors. The email then went on to say that the bank had new safeguards to protect my online security while on their site and that they require me to confirm my login details. I thought that was strange they used the word “confirm” but thought at first it was some additional security add on such as my pet’s name or grandfathers middle name type thing. It turns out while I looked over the viewable link by mousing over the link to log on to my account it did not goto an https: version of the site nor did it go to American Express. The scammer tried to take me to a site with the url starting with ecommsultor.com.br while they tried to fool me with “americanexpress-amexupdate-logonpage.asap.com/update/account/index.html” in the same link. Notice the .com and the .br in the site name and American Express would never send anyone to a Brazilian owned domain name unless you lived in Brazil. Do not fall for this scam.

Traveling to London this Summer?
June 20th, 2012
You may not be aware that you can use your Discover Card on purchases in London this Summer really anytime. Discover Card bought Diners Club and part of the deal is more access to the places that Visa and MasterCard serve. A few years ago I traveled to London and I left my Discover Card at home there was no need for it. You could really only use American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. I opened up my Discover Card statement the other day and noticed a London flyer in there and was shocked to find out they were offering these promotions.
The flyer said to let them know if I’ll be traveling to London this summer and if so I will Pay no foreign transaction fees, Earn 2% Cashback Bonus on every purchase in London from 6/2-8/31/2012, and Get special offers on transportation, restaurants and retail. The extra two percent in the UK is in addition to the 5% quarterly bonus program which will include movies, theme parks, and gas starting July 1st. So if you happen to see a movie while visiting the UK you will get back 7%. You will NOT find an offer this incredible for foreign travel. If that was not enough they are offering (Through 8/31/12), $0 promotional fee and standard purchase APR on cash advances at banks and ATMs in the U.K.
