Which Banks Send Out 1099s for Account Bonuses? Doctor of Credit
Posted on January 30, 2020. Yes, 2020!


"just about all banks send out a Form 1099INT for cash earned from a bank account bonus, as well as for any interest earned on the account. Keep in mind even if no 1099 form is sent out, you are still required to pay taxes and self report." You knew this right, @afan? And here's something to keep in mind for 2021, this month is not over and more likely we'll see additional information, comments and posts as mail carriers and institutions are heavily back logged.

Yes but it's talking about interest and bank account bonuses. What doc posted earlier was someone getting one for a credit card sign up bonus that bofa valued at 600. Sign up bonuses for cresit cards have always been seen as a rebate because you have to spend to get it. Vs referrals which will also generate one because you don't do anything to earn it.

Also my credit union always does a 1099int and my interest is always under 600 so many may get them anyway.

Chase Credit Cards: Cash Advance Category
Chase sent out an email blast today on both consumer and business credit cards indicating that beginning in April they’ll broaden the cash advance category to include many ‘cash-like transactions’. These transactions would incur a cash advance fee, and won’t earn credit card rewards. DOC also adds in the comment section, "...we’ll have to wait and see how it pans out."

Which lead me to another article posted on June 19, 2020:
Major Banks Charge Cash Advance Fees For Peer-To-Peer Credit Card Payments (Paypal, Venmo, Square, Etc) Doctor of Credit
I had to double check to see if I was charged fees (initial deposit & final payment) when we bought our puppy Sherlock via PayPal. AmEx no fees!

Well that's disappointing. I've also noticed that Michael's hasn't had a 40% coupon in quite a while.
 
Has anyone used a prepaid visa to purchase a gift card from Kroger online? I know some places won’t accept them or they will and then your order gets cancelled.
 
I feel like such an idiot. Ive been following this thread for over a year now. It never once occurred to me to watch for deals on AT&T gift cards or so many of the other ones here that I could use for bills and such.

New addition to Post #2 Discount District

Walmart Plus: Everything you need to know by Tom's Guide

Which brings me to this miscellaneous post:

MyPoints: Get $75 Back On Walmart+ Annual Membership ($98 Cost).
Update 1/29/21: Swagbucks is still at $50, but MyPoints is up to 12,000 which is worth around $75 when redeemed for PayPal. Sounds like this offer is slated to be around until February 3rd. Plus you get $30 Google Pay, 10% Dosh, $5 Chase Offer, $2.50 first purchase. See this post for a step by step walk-through.
This is the offer I'm seeing...

For those who don't know what MyPoints is or how it works, this review is for you:

MyPoints Review 2021 eBiz Facts

  • Details: Complete surveys, shop, play games, search for deals, and watch videos in exchange for points.
  • Ways to Redeem Your Points include: Gift cards or e-certificates, Cash (via PayPal) and Air miles (United MileagePlus).
To be clear, I no longer use Swagbucks and I've never used MyPoints but both can save and/or earn you money.

Thanks! I followed the instructions you linked & went the MyPoints route. Between MyPoints, Chase offers, Dosh, and Google Pay, it would be a moneymaker of ~$20. It would also be nice to have Walmart+ free for a year - their $35 minimum is frustrating.

We’ll see if they all come through!
 
Rakuten adjusted my Sam's Club DGC purchases to nada for my purchases in December....after it had been "posted" in my cash back :-(

I have a RMN DP for you...

I used the RetailMeNot app and went through BestBuy for the 3% cash back. It does say that the offer EXCLUDES gift cards, but since I was only buying a $25 card, I wasn't too worried about it if it didn't credit. I added a $25 digital Disney gift card to my card and checked out USING PAYPAL. The reason I did this is because I was able to use the $25 Virtual Visa that I had redeemed from Swagbucks earlier in the month (so...Free Money!). First, the transaction was successful. I had the gift card within an hour and I was able to transfer it to my physical gift card using the DisneyGiftCard website (*I know that is set to change soon*) Second, I received notice a few days later that my purchase DID track through RMN and it shows the $0.75 as "pending" in my account. It will not be payable until 3/11/2021 so I will update then if it actually goes through, but so far, so good.

I used to have 100% success using this method to convert my Virtual Visas from Swagbucks to Disney gift cards while still earning a rebate by going through RMN using ShopDisney, but I have not seen any cashback offered from ShopDisney in several weeks. Now that I know that BestBuy works, I will probably switch over to them. I can also purchase physical gift cards and pick them up in the store or get them shipped for free. Even at a measly 3%, it's still something, especially considering that it's money earned on money that was "free" to begin with.
 
I am considering using Chase Pay Yourself Back to purchase Disney gift cards at Lowe's at 1.5 cents per UR with my CSR. I thought I'd check here first to make sure that no one has run into problems doing this. I'll also check on the I love credit cards thread.
