Was it one of those marketing scams where they tell you to add your name to the list and then mail a dollar to everyone on it?

They had a program where you earned referral $ for each account that you opened as well as matching the funding contrabution. Open multiple accounts for family members, earn referals, earn the match.

I think a killer product would be something that helps me figure out the cheapest way to watch any given show. I want to cancel my cable, but I just havnt found a good 2nd solution yet. I know there are solutions out there, but they dont include all shows, then you have to have another solution for some shows then it just gets complicated.

I can only speak to Chase cards, but it counts as a purchase. NOT a cash advance.

A bunch of people talked about this in the ING referral post. College Advantage referrals need to be something that we can bid on here. Its much more lucrative then the ING referrals.

I did this for awhile just to check it out and it does work, but I felt bad doing it. (Fed spending money to mail me money) I also couldn’t put up with the line of questioning I got every time I went to the bank. I was only taking a thousand or so, but they always asked.

I only drink water when I am out also. It says a TON of money. A decent place will charge atleast $2 bucks for a Coke. That can easily add 5 or 6 bucks to your meal.

i’d be afraid of getting mugged or rejected by the bank. It would make for a funny youtube video – Man with $40k in coins makes deposit.

never did but heard from friends and thought about it myself but did not, due to credit score implications (i guess) – rotate 0% balance transfer on a year over year basis (maybe did not cause credit score slide) with a new credit card. the credit of this can be invested and eventually be paid back before 0% goes to some crazy rate.
i am sure this will implicate the credit score.
