Save Your Back - Sign up for UPS Pickup - Free for a Year!

At first when you are sending out one or two packages a week or even one or two a day, a quick trip to your local UPS store or pickup is not such a big deal.


As I started to do more and reselling, my family fan (also known as the family tax deduction - jk) started to look like this on most days.

It was time for a UPS pickup to my place instead of going to them.

As a nice benefit, UPS will give you one year free of Smart Pickups when you sign up for UPS Connect.  Smart Pickups mean that you need to tell them to come and pick up instead of having a set day or days of the week that UPS automatically comes. This is normally $10 a week and is free for a year.


It only takes a couple of clicks to order a pickup once you are logged in and I don't find it to be a big deal at all.

Once you sign up, you will like it so much it will be hard to go back.

Update: There is a bonus going on for AA Shopping as well.  You can earn up to 5,000 miles for spending $1,200.  Thanks everyone for pointing that out!


I love shopping portals. They turn good deals into great deals and great deals into fantastic deals and... Well, you get it....


The only thing I like better than shopping portals are when shopping portals have bonuses.  You just extra miles for doing the same thing.  Who doesn't love that!

Well, right night for the holidays a couple of Cartera shopping portals are offering bonuses.

Here is United's Bonus:

That's a bonus of 4.8x miles per $1 spent if you spend exactly $1,250.  Remember that the miles that you normally earn from the portal are added on top of that!  These are a resellers' best friend.  I spend $1,250 in my sleep every night!

Spending is from now until November 24th
