Articles

Chase Cardholders, $5/$10 Bonus for Going Paperless – Danny the Deal Guru

An easy win if you are able to get it. This is why I often start out with paper statements to see if I will be offered anything to change over.

CHAMPAGNE TOURS FROM PARIS: HOW TO BOOK YOUR PERFECT CHAMPAGNE DAY TRIP – Megan Starr

This sounds like it would be a very cool experience. I am sure it would be a pretty romantic experience with a significant other as well.  You could also finish off the day with a dinner at a local’s house with the Eatwith program as well.

Amazon cancels my order in violation of their gift cards terms and conditions – Miles Per Day
This isn’t the first time this has happened to Vinh. That is one of the problems with gift cards.  You have less protections as a buyer than you would with a credit card.  Companies also think they can do what they want with your balances.  Look no further than Shawn’s ordeal with Build a Bear or our reader’s issue with Kohl’s.  You also have to worry about fraudsters when purchasing them, especially if they are purchased from Safeway.
CITI SHUTDOWN DUE TO NUMBER OF INQUIRES/ ACCOUNTS #1 – Travel In Points

This is nothing new with issuers but it was triggered from a fraud alert.  Depending on the bank these happen often for larger purchases or out of town purchases.  That makes the situation a little more scary.
