- Great New Amex Offer – $400 Back On Qantas Flights! by Running With Miles. From memory they have offered this before, good deal if you need a Qantas revenue flight over $2,000.
- Portals May No Longer Pay Out For eBay Gift Cards On eBay by Oren’s Money Saver. Most portals already exclude eBay gift cards in the fine print, but still most of them were paying out anyway. Looks like eBay is cracking down on this now.
- ChimpChange Mobile Money Account $5 Sign-Up Bonus and $5 Referral Rewards by Maximizing Money. Not worth the hassle of setting up an account for $5 in my opinion, but everybody is different. Just make sure you don’t get hit with inactivity fees.
- Evil Barclaycard goons threaten me with legal action for writing about them! by PFdigest. Barclaycard has sent me similar automated requests in the past, I don’t really have an issue with them wanting me to use Barclaycard instead of Barclays but their system also throws up a whole lot of false positives and has banned words that can’t be used in conjuction with Barclaycard (e.g pre-approved). I also think asking nicely before sending automated legal threats is a better way of dealing with bloggers.
- 8 ways to get the best targeted Amex signup bonus offers by Frequent Miler. I’ve had the best success with incognito mode and pre-approved offers [personal & business links], but all methods are worth a go.
I appreciate the Barclay letter. Now I feel much better about my shenanigans.
