Chime is sleazy.
My sister is STILL waiting on her tax refund from tax year 2020!!!!!
Account was flagged and she jumped through so many hoops to never get her money back. $20K+ from refund just GONE.

Chime is supposed to send the check back to IRS and they have NEVER received the check. Hopefully this puts a pep in their step.

I fondly remember the early days of Chime when my account balance would mysteriously be hundreds of dollars greater than it should have been… amazed its still kicking at all a decade later.

Dumbasses voluntarily sending their money away to people and wanting banks to cover them whole when they realize the Indian entrepreneur isn’t going to double their money in 2 weeks. What’s stopping me from sending money out to whoever and crying “I got scammed!!1” to be covered whole. The government might as well make it illegal to be an idiot. Grown ass adults can’t make their own informed decisions and need to be babied. Pathetic stuff

Always knew Chime was so scummy since day 1. Looks like they got what they deserve.

Now off to Swagbucks to see if me and P2 can milk these fools one last time!

I don’t think that it’s churnable based on the comments that I’ve seen here. Are you saying that you or P2 had more than 1 acct in your name?

The Best Western promo that’s linked has expired! It required booking by May 5, which was 4 days ago!

The current Best Western promo I see when logged in is:

Earn 10,000 bonus points after completing 3 eligible stays, limit 20,000 points.

Start Date: Mon May 20 2024
Expiration Date: Mon Sep 02 2024

Given that free nights often require at least 20000 points, this is also a pretty lame promo.

For someone who has lots of previously-earned Best Western points to use up, another current promo might be better:

Book a Pay With Points reservation and get 2,000 bonus points on up to 10 stays for a possible 20,000 points.

Start Date: Mon Apr 01 2024
Expiration Date: Mon Sep 02 2024

I’ve used it a few times on 20000 point/night stays, and in that case it’s 10% back, which isn’t bad. In fact, it’s the same reason I’m keeping my IHG Select credit card, because it gives me 10% back on IHG points stays.
