I hope we will be around for a while to come, but if Capital One had their way Saverocity would have been removed from the internet within 48hrs of today, simply for discussing them in posts ‘without official approval’.It is a sad state of affairs when a site like this is threatened with closure for […]

In October 2013 I interviewed Pat, who shared her story of Chase shutting down her banking relationships based upon her transaction habits. In the past few days I have been hearing more about this happening at other institutions, and readers have mentioned that US Bank and Wells Fargo are now aggressively closing accounts that have […]

Yesterday I wrote in my protected post how to (potentially) get a free award ticket by exploiting a glitch in the system, it struck me as so ludicrous that this could even exist that I felt like it was a prank, but thus far I haven’t heard anything to the contrary regarding being able to […]
