I was adding my Discover credit card to my PayPal account, but after registering my Discover Credit Card, the language confirming the registration, PayPal indicated it would be treated as a bank debit card. Not a credit card like my other credit cards. WHY? SNAFU. Makes me nervous of possible cash advance billing.
Hi, Chuck. To add to your "ending this month" category:
1) Hilton Surpass and Aspire Amex cards earn 12X Points at U.S. supermarkets through 7/31/20.
2) All Delta Amex cards earn 4X miles at U.S. supermarkets through 7/31/20.
3) Marrott Bonvoy Brilliant and regular Amex earn 6X Marriott Bonvoy points at U.S. supermarkets on up to $7,500 in eligible purchases from May through July 2020.
Added, thank you
2 - Delta PERSONAL cards only
Adding that bofa cash rewards card category rewards max resets each quarter as well! I imagine a lot of people hit their maxes.
Added, thanks
Right on time!
How/where does one enroll for the citi dividend categories? I can't seem to find a link in the portal.
When I login to citi.com and click on the dividend card, I see a link in the middle of the page: "Earn 5% cash back at Home Improvement ...".
If that doesn't work, try going to https://www.citi.com/credit-cards/credit-cards-citi/citi.action?ID=dividend-quarterly-offer
(then login, and in the menu select your dividend card; at one point this was the only method that worked for me, and it worked in Chrome but not Firefox)
The Chase grocery store bonus category specifically ended in June and is being replaced by the ones mentioned above, right?
Yes
Bonus grocery spend on Chase cards ended 6/30.
I really hope this site makes you guys enough money to be worth the trouble. Because I know running a site is a lot of trouble but this site is also daily required reading for me and I don’t want it to go away. You’re basically doing God’s work as far as I’m concerned - because of course God is a savvy consumer - so I really hope you don’t stop or it will make me very sad. You’re the true heirs to the FatWallet legacy!
Agreed! I gave the same compliment last month: the FW spirit lives on through DoC!
That's honestly the highest praise I could ever receive. FatWallet Forum is such a legend in this game and without it this site wouldn't exist
Thanks for the kind words :)
Not God's work, but, more precisely, Jesus'. Because.....Jesus saves.
Ditto to all of the above. I can stop drinking coffee but can't stop reading DoC!
Keep clicking his affiliate links!
Thanks all ♥️
Absolutely. It's a gem of a site
I hope so as well. It feels like things have been drying up with the pandemic. No fault of the people running the site, just that there aren't as many great promotional offers available right now.
Agreed. Thank you Chuck and William. Your site has been more important to me every morning than a cup of coffee. I view the site's content as like going to class everyday to learn and often you or reader posts give me homework. That could be signing up for a bank bonus, writing to a company for free coupons, or organizing & strategy planning my 5/24 credit card apps. Thanks to you guys I have a healthier and happier financial life.
Time to do the Dell order/cancel dance all over again. YAY!
whats that
