There were so many posts that I broke it up into 2 parts. Part 1 can be found here.
Credit Cards/Banks:
- PSA: Put a $5 Charge on that Better Balance Rewards Card
- Doctor of Credit
- I have been putting a $1 charge every month for a long time, but I think it might be time to change to a $5 charge. Not worth the missed quarter.
- Discover’s Double Cashback Promotion Extended for New Cardholders & A Possible Strategy for Current Cardholders
- Miles to Memories
- If you haven't signed up for a Discover card, it's time. The double cashback promotion is actually that good.
- List Of Third Party American Express Credit Cards
- Doctor of Credit
- I love AmEx cards, especially when they are not issued by AmEx since they are not subject to the limit of 4 cards per person. These can really add up for Small Business Saturday every year.
- Bring This To Bank Of America For The $2000 Offer
- Chasing the Points
- Earn 5,000 Points for Referring Friends to U.S. Bank FlexPerks Cards
- Miles to Memories
- If you can refer someone (like your spouse), that's always better than being referred by someone else!
- [YMMV] Enroll BBVA Compass In Visa Checkout & Receive $10
- Doctor of Credit
- Some Benefits of the American Express Platinum Cards That No One Really Talks About
- Just Another Points Traveler
- I didn't know that AmEx waives annual fees for active duty military personally. Good to know!
- Wow! An Amazing Citi ThankYou Preferred Retention Offer – Christmas in July?!?
- Miles to Memories
- You can always call us for a retention offer, even in the middle of your card cycle. Good to know what's available to decide if it is worth it to call.
Deals:
- 2x Fuel Points at Stop&Shop/Giant on Mastercard Gift Cards is Back, 7/31-8/6
- Doctor of Credit
- I can't remember the last time I paid full price, but I was running out so this is perfect timing. Keep in mind that this is on Mastercards, not Visa like it normally is. Who's excited for more $.36 gas! Actually, the answer is me and my next door neighbor who comes with me ;)
- 4x Fuel Points at Kroger-chain Stores (expires 8/11)
- Doctor of Credit
- I don't have a Kroger near me but these deals always make me wish I did!
- New Chime Card Offers: $5 Off $30 at Office Depot and $3 Off $30 at Gap
- Travel with Grant
- Time to dust off or reopen the Chime card? Not for me yet, I need a $3 off $3 purchase from Amazon to get back in, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Miscellaneous:
- Essential Blogs & Forums To Read If You Manufacture Spend Or Want To Learn

- Very important piece. I hope to have a dedicated piece relating to all the time spent on MS.
- Opportunity cost decisions among Shopping Portals
- Tagging Miles
- Anytime you use a credit card or a shopping portal, you are making these decisions, whether you know it or not. Forgoing one type of reward in favor of another.
- Junkcard Currently Not Buying Gift Cards From Public
- Doctor of Credit
- Doesn't sound good, especially with them sending out bounced checks. I hope better times are ahead of us.
- Bad News: Amazon Removes Sharing Prime Option
- Doctor of Credit
- That's annoying, but I can't blame Amazon for wanting to maximize profit.
