Today’s post is in alphabetical order @chucksth, @esthery, @made_by_hugo, and @mileswhip all asked me simultaneously about Gyft’s verification process.  I’ve written about Gyft a few times and how lucrative they were to the gift card reselling machine like the triple dip. Since then, Gyft tightened up and things weren’t so rosy like no payouts with Gyft points if Read More

I donated blood the other week and the New York Blood Center gave away 2 Mets tickets as a thank you. Due to a scheduling conflict, I can’t make it to this game. Therefore, I’m giving it away. The game details are: September 21, 2015 – the Mets will be at home playing against the Read More

We have all been there, you see on the shelves the sparkly MasterCard or Visa literally hanging around and bring it to the cashier and they say “cash only.” I have heard that countless number of times, but that never stopped me from trying. About every two weeks, I get a haircut and where I Read More

For as long as I’ve been at the manufactured spend game, I’ve been literally chasing the points and cash had been an after thought. Like a couple of weeks, there was a great money making Staples gift card offer. My main goal was to earn points and the cash was gravy. I’ve now amassed a Read More

When I first wrote about the Bank of America offer for the small business checking account, I provided screenshots to the offer. I had to censor some of the areas where it’s specific to a banker. What I didn’t know, was how powerful the Preview application is on the Mac. I’m not a native Mac Read More

I have been messing up a bit lately, my mind is completely elsewhere the past few weeks. I wasn’t explicitly clear in my last post about the presentation.
