Deals, ,

Screen Shot 2013-10-02 at 11.15.13 PM

The new QuietComfort 20i headphones are the first in-ear noise cancelling headphones from Bose. If you’re looking to buy a new pair of noise cancelling headphones and want to get something more compact, then these might be for you.

You can earn 1,500 United miles for purchasing QuietComfort 20i.

I have a pair of noise cancelling headphones (not Bose) and stopped traveling with them due to the amount of space they took up in my carry-on backpack. I now use the saved space for some of Lucas’ things.

Seamless.com is offering 15% off orders over $10 again- Today Only!

From a previous post:

For those of you that don’t know, Seamless is an online service that claims to be “the easiest way to order food for delivery or takeout”. They offer food from 12,000+ restaurants in 40 cities.

Kim and I have used Seamless a few times and found it to be a reliable service. In our neighborhood in Brooklyn there aren’t a lot of good restaurants available on the site or we would probably use it more frequently.

FlashbackFriThis week’s Flashback Friday post focuses on earning points and saving money on something most of us use on a daily basis: gas.

The post isn’t too old but due to some technical issues, many of you may have missed it. (When I went to publish the post, it was somehow backdated to one of the draft dates. I fixed it later on in the day.)

Screen Shot 2013-09-15 at 10.50.47 AMWhile I’m not a coffee drinker and don’t speak Starbuckanese, I do like some of the non-coffee beverages offered by Starbucks.

Amex Small Business Saturday- Nov 30

Deals, Travel with kids

Invalid request error occurred.

One of my favorite days of the year to get money for nothing has been announced.

American Express’ Small Business Saturday will take place on November 30.

What is Small Business Saturday? (from Amex)

  • A day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country
  • Created by American Express in 2010 , it’s celebrated every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving

On Small Business Saturday American Express is generous enough to offer credit card holders a $25 statement credit for shopping at small businesses around the country. To qualify for the offer your credit cards must be registered. If you have multiple Amex cards, you can get a $25 credit for each card.

(While there is no official announcement as to what perk Small Business Saturday will have this year, the $25 statemement credit has been offered for the past few years so I’d expect it to stay the same.)

Some people like to shop at a variety of merchants or even just buy $25 restaurant gift certificates to make things easy. Over the past couple of years, Kim and I combined our credits to purchase bigger-ticket items for practically free!

Save An Additional .20₵ At The Pump + Earn 5X Points

Credit Cards, Deals, Offers

I’m willing to bet that we all want to earn lots of points and do so really fast.

Over the last year or so the quickest way (besides sign up bonuses) to earn point has been manufactured spend with the purchase of gift cards. Some of our favorite flavors for this have been Vanilla. If you could find these tasty cards, earning easy points comes at a small price- $3.95 per $500 load on a card. If you used the appropriate card at the right stores, you might get a bonus of 5X points. When I started doing this, I was earning 6X points with my Hilton Amex card at drug stores. (This bonus option went away a few months ago.)
.

Over the past few months some of us have noticed that it’s been getting harder to find Vanilla Reloads and/or find stores willing to accept credit cards for the purchase. In the New York City area it seems to be practically impossible. On a few recent trips around the country I had no problem buying Vanilla Reloads with a credit card in New Orleans, Milwaukee and Minnesota.

Besides Vanilla Reloads, there is another way to earn valuable points but it comes in a much slower way. For example- if I know that I will be shopping on Amazon, I buy gift cards for no fee at Staples. I use my Chase Ink card, earning 5X points on purchases that might otherwise not reward me with much more than the 1 point per $.
Another great way to earn points and save money is by purchasing gas station gift cards.  Continue reading Save An Additional .20₵ At The Pump + Earn 5X Points →
