RMN is 5% back at Staples and 10% back at Target, both limited time.

I still had 10% back on my Amex for Staples so stacked that without thinking about Dosh, which just alerted me to another $5 back. Assuming everything credits I will have paid $255.07 for $300 DGC. Staples does charge $1.99 for DGC shipping.

I'm considering a Target purchase at 10% as well for more DGC. DVC dues have arrived and I'm not quite where I need to be.

Awesome thanks for the heads up! I was low on my Google play balance and thats how I pay for Disney+ so I got a gift card from Target and paid with my discover to use up the rest of my 5% for the quarter!

Also includes: Dairy product stores, Bakeries, Misc food/convenience, Candy/nut Freezer/locker meat, Chiropractors, Vision services, Beauty/health spas, Vitamins, Medical providers & medical supply and Veterinary services

Most impressive is ABOC Platinum Rewards as hospitals, veterinary services, etc. aren’t normally bonused spend opportunities.

Speaking of veterinary services, on Tuesday, Dec 29th our 7 month old Bernedoodle Sherlock, chewed through an extension cord while we were sleeping. Chards of copper wires everywhere.

Vet took x-rays, induced vomiting and gave us meds for our little pooch. The meds are given every 8 hrs. to coat his stomach and intestines, hopefully the copper wires will pass naturally. This cost $430 bucks! Thank goodness we had a stash of VGC! ::yes::

I've seen some posts regarding Cashapp here and just wanted to share our experience with it. Last summer (2020), my husbands email and credit were hacked. It was months before we learned the extent of it. But one of the things hacked was his Cashapp. He has reached out to them several times and has never gotten a response. The person who hacked everything added himself as a user and changed passwords to things so we couldn't access them. Because he never added his phone number to Gmail, he's been unable to get gmail to disable his email. The guy who hacked us took all the money that was on the cashapp and we can't even get them to respond to let him change the password or lock the acct. Just beware and don't leave any money sitting there because unlike Paypal, Cashapp does not attempt to help you at all with this kind of thing.
 
We've been a little hesitant signing up for apps. Back in November 2019 my account and cc's were targeted when Macy's Data Breach occurred. They sent me a letter with what I needed to do etc. and sent me a new cc which I never activated. The various cc's on my account were used in the states and the UK between December 2019- September 2020. I posted about them here when it happened.

I also posted about Macy's "requiring" me to give them my Driver's License # just to pick up an online order in their store and the very obnoxious clerk I had to deal with (Dec 2019). It's one thing to verify you are the intended and another when they enter you DL# into their system. I had the same crap happen just recently Dec. 2020 and this time I wrote to the CEO. I was immediately contacted by the store manager who told me this would not happen again. It was so recent they still had a tape of it and she saw it all, confirmed the description of the nasty clerk, date & time.

Since then I've covered up my DL# because of what it may contain that is no one else's business no matter who I do business with. When a store scans or adds your DL# into their system what do they do with it, how do they protect it, does it get shared and/or sold to the highest bidder? Do you even know what information is tied your DL#?

Every state is different, I guess. When trying to find out for myself I couldn't find a straight answer. I do know it contains my full name, date of birth, address and SS# and that should cause anyone alarm when a company asks for it. It's not a gift, it's your personal information.

My dog refuses to wear boots. I use musher’s secret, which is a wax for their paws. It works great! I put it on 2-3 times a week.

Thanks for this! I didn't realize how dry and brittle his pads had become since the start of winter. Musher's Secret has a lot of positive reviews and works great! For now we're applying it every morning to soften and heal.

I also purchased Ruffwear Grip Trex booties which he took to very well, these will be great during the summer. Bark'n boot liners are on the way but trying to find Polar Trex boots in his size this late into the season has been, well, Ruff! :laughing:

Amex Business Card Offer: Spend $500 & Get $25 - Targeted
  • Limit 10. Expires 6/30/21. GC Galore
  • Statement credits might not be applied until the end of September, so bear that in mind if you were thinking of cancelling your card before then.
  • I’d also be cautious about buying too many gift cards with this offer. Amex is extremely sensitive to that kind of behavior with offers such as these, so you could spend $5,000 and not get anything back.
PSA: Credits From New AmEx Offers May Not Post Until After 6/30 :crazy2:
American Express just released a lot of good AmEx offers for personal Platinum cardholders, for example:
Terms: The enrolled Card account must not be cancelled or past due to receive statement credits . Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 6/30/2021, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase.
This means you’ll need your card open at least until 6/30/21 and possibly until the end September. It might be worth checking to see when your card renewal date is and deciding if you’re going to keep the card. I suspect American Express won’t be offering generous retention offers based on all these credits/offers so it might make sense not to use these offers if you’re going to cancel your card or waiting closer to your renewal date if it’s before 6/30/21 to see what offers you get.

Kroger Online 4x Fuel promotion seem to offer more gift cards compared to instore. I know some here are planning trips this year, might be worth having a look see.

Sam's club data points--I have made three Disney gift card purchases using my Chase Freedom card which is registered on Dosh. One I made through Mypoints--0 Mypoints pending, no dosh creditt. Two I made through ebates--no ebates pending, no dosh credit. Still getting > 10%, but I think I'll wait for fuel points.
 
So is the 4x fuel points offer more restrictive then the standard one (i.e., the one that includes non-Kroger, non-visa/mc cards)? The app wasn't super helpful.

The only restrictions I see are for Pick-Up.

Target is included for 4xFuel instore and online, unfortunately Disney GC are not included in this promotion.

Just saying, I've never seen Hard Rock, Rain Forest nor Bubba Gump at my local Kroger's, nice to see them available online.
