Can You get me a Draidel Gift Card for Chanukah?

You know you buy too many gift cards when your 4 yr old son asks for a Draidel Gift Card for a Chanukah present.... oy vay

Unfortunately, that was not a joke.

$20 off $100 purchase at Staples with American Express

Check your American Express "Offers for You" for a $20 cashback offer for a purchase at Staples.  I have it on 8/9 accounts so far and I've just started checking.

You can use the offer in store or online to buy Visa Gift Cards including a $100 Visa gift card for $86.95 or 13% off (14% assuming you get at least 1% cashback from your credit card). They are currently out of stock, but save the offer anyways because it doesn't expire until 12/31/2014 and hopefully they get back in stock before then.

If you have the offer on multiple cards in the same online log in, before you add it to any one card, open a new window in your browser for each card.  Activate them all at the same time.  Otherwise the offer will disappear from the rest of your cards.

Hurry - Up to 15% off any Gift Card at Raise

Raise.com sells gift cards to retailers at a discount, but they are having a special sale for Cyber Monday.

Use Coupon code CYBERMONDAY for an extra $5 off a $50+ gift card.  Any gift card qualifies.  If you buy a gift card that is exactly $50, you will get the full 10% off.  TODAY ONLY.

Start your purchase from Top Cashback and get an extra 5% cash back as well.  When you combine the two discounts, you will get almost 15% off any gift card!

In addition, gift cards are discounted so you can add the discount of the base price as well!

For example:  A Peet's Coffee $77.79 gift card will cost $68 after the promocode (13.5% off) and you will get another 5% cashback from Top Cashback ($3.40) for total discount of 17%.  Not too shabby!

Chime Prepaid Card

Disclaimer: I receive a referral commission for the following link(s) and I greatly appreciate supporting the site: Chime

I really didn't want to get a Chime prepaid card.

Between Serve, Paypal Debit, Visa Buxx, UFB Direct Airlines Debit, Visa and American Express Gift Cards, I already have too many things to keep track of before even discussing the ridiculous number of credit cards I have.

When Doctor of Credit's first post about Chime came out, I just plain ignored it.  When he started posting about easy promotions for free Amazon Gift Cards, I assumed it was a one time thing.  When another promotion came, I pretended I didn't want it anyway.  When the promotions kept coming, I couldn't ignore them any more.  As much as I hate having another card, I caved and got one for me and my wife so I'm in now.


Here is why you  might want to get a Chime card as well:

- $10 sign up bonus.  If you sign up with my referral link, or with Doctor of Credit's referral link, you will get $10 and the referrer will get $10 as well if you load $50 or more.  When I signed up for myself, I got $10.  When I signed up my wife we both got $10 so we got $30 right away for two accounts.

- Chime promotions.  Chime has rotating promotions where if you spend money on your Chime card at certain stores, you can get significant savings.  Some examples that impressed me for next month

1. Tomorrow - Free $5 store credit at Amazon
2. Tuesday - Free $2 Store credit at McDonalds
3. Wednesday - Free $3 store credit at Bath and Body Works
4. Sunday December 7th - Free $3 Store credit at Old Navy.
5. Wednesday December 10th - Free $2 Store Credit at Chipotle
6. Tuesday December 16th - Free $2 Store Credit at Subways
7. Tuesday December 23rd - Free $2 Store Credit at Wendy's
8. Thursday December 25th - Free $3 Store Credit at Starbucks

There are lots of other great deals, like $5 cashback on a $50 purchase at Walmart, Best Buy, Target and many other 10% cashback deals at places I want to shop, but these are the ones you don't even have to spend any money to get.

Loading

I loaded $200 the first time via my Paypal Debit Card for free, but after that there is a 3% fee for Paypal Debit card.  It is free to load from a checking account ($500 daily max) and some debit cards.  I recommend loading via a free method.

Fees

- $2.50 ATM withdrawal ($500 daily max)

- $5 monthly fee if you have 0 transactions in 180 days (about 6 months).  If you partake in any promotions over six months you will never pay this fee.  If you buy any item not involved in a promotion every 6 months you will again not pay any fee  That being said, this isn't a card you can forget about and never use, you need to somewhat actively manage the card.

$50 Signup Bonus for Fidelity American Expre

$50 Sign Up Bonus available for Fidelity American Express.


Fidelity American Express is one of my favorite credit cards to use.  It is the Sarah Plain and Tall of credit cards so  it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. There is usually no sign up bonus, but it's my trusty old card that's always in my wallet.  In fact, when I am asked what is the one card I should get, I will usually tell people to get this card and have a Visa as a backup for when American Express isn't accepted.  




There are no rotating bonus categories or any special purchases.  The reward is 2 points for every dollar you spend.  When you redeem your points into a Fidelity Account 5,000 points will equal $50 so it is a true 2% cashback credit card.  Every purchase gets two points and there are no limits to how many points you can earn.


Right now, you can get a $50 sign up bonus if you spend $500 in the first 60 days.  If you have been thinking about this card, now is the time to get it.


Sign up for a Fidelity account (free with no account minimums) and then sign up for the Fidelity American Express and get yourself a great card with a sign up bonus.
