We’re getting into the busy shopping season with Black Friday & Cyber Monday around the corner. One of the easiest ways to support this site is by using our Amazon or eBay affiliate links (they are in the side bar of every post as well). If you thought we’ve helped you this year, please consider using our links. Just keep in mind that you can get cash back by using a shopping portal for these purchases (but then you won’t be support this site, but that’s ok!), best rates for eBay here & best rates for Amazon here.
A lot of the content on this site can be found elsewhere (although I do think we do a better job of presenting that information), but there were two times this year where I think we really helped readers:
- We warned you that the Chase 5/24 rule would be going into effect on business cards & co-branded cards well in advance. This should have given people plenty of time to get cards that they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to get. We also knew what cards were/weren’t affected by this new rule on co-branded cards when it was introduced.
- We told you that you had until August 28th to get Citi credit cards under the old rules. The new rules started appearing on cards on August 11th, so this again gave people a chance to get cards under the old rules before the new rules went into place.
Writing new content (and keeping old content up to date) is fairly time consuming, but it’s something I really enjoy doing (as does Chuck & Don). If you found the site helped you this year, consider using our shopping links. Also feel free to share how this site helped you this year in the comments, it would be great to get some testimonials from readers!
This is by far the best travel blogger site. I used to read all of them but now this is the only one I read. You guys have helped immensely throughout the year.
Thanks for the tip on how to support you guys, I will try to use your Amazon link in the future you have definitely given me great tips there.
Thank you Will and Chuck. Knowing that you don’t have a vested agenda like other bloggers means we all trust you more. Mainly used your site for bank bonuses and a few credit cards.
I do most of my AMZN shopping through subscribe and save. Is there a way to make sure you guys get credit for it?
Not that I know of, but no problem we will take the compliment as payment ;). Make sure you also let us know of any deals you see that we may miss as well!
You guys are incredible; as a fairly veteran person in this sphere your site is truly one of the few that has continued to shine brighter as time has passed, both for the quality of your posts and for the obvious lack of conflicts of interest in the information you provide. Will certainly do some of my shopping through your affiliate links to provide as much support as I can in the hopes you’ll keep providing such great advice!
Thanks for your kind words and support!
By far the best blog! A big thanks to you guys. Only feedback would be to allow opening the links in new tabs!
I think I just added this functionality (for external links) let me know if it is working.
I’m a huge fan. You guys provide an outstanding service, and you have never led me wrong. I started reading about a year ago. Your checking bonus and credit card reviews are invaluable, and I am thousands richer as a direct result. Thanks to your warnings about 5/24 and Citi-24, I was able to get several credit card bonuses that I would have otherwise missed. Finally, when I have a question about checking accounts or credit cards, I am usually able to find a clear, concise answer on your site. THANK YOU!
More than welcome, thank you for the kind words.
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve set this page as my homepage and check it everyday like a ritual hahaha. And every time I shop on amazon or ebay I always went thru this page’s links. I don’t really care about shopping portal rewards and ain’t planning on using any in the future cuz helping this site means much more to me than some petty cash back. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, KT! But you should definitely use shopping portals for your other purchases not on Amazon & eBay, it’s easy free money!
I love your Kroger fuel deals alerts and your Staples OM/OD gift VGC alerts. Thanks for keeping me informed of these offers!
One of the cleanest, to-the-point and conflict-free sites out there. Keep the good work up, guys, we love your site!
Thanks for your hard work . I shop at Amazon frequently and as most purchase at amazon does not earn any cashback i use your amazon referral link . Increasing volume should help in increased payout.
I was able to get both Citi Hilton(2 free nights + 75K HHonors points) by applying before August 28th .
I was able to get to my amazon smile account through your affiliate link, which I will be doing in the future. I didn’t realize that I would be able to do that until now. I’m happy to be able to thank you guys for what you do, since I’m making money (much more than I would have thought I’d be able to!) and having fun getting money from opening bank accounts and credit cards. You do a terrific job! All your information is helpful, timely, honest and well- thought through. Keep it coming!!! I’m a big fan.
