Interesting. I have a different number I call 888-338-2586 and I just need to enter my SSN at the prompt to receive the status.
Yeah - that one also works. There's a couple different ways to go at it - the 800 number is just the one I have memorized from years of checking. The 888 number is actually probably easier though, LOL!
 
For those who did the PNC bonus this year, did you get a 1099? I should have gotten one but haven't. DH is ready to file our taxes but was wanting the TIN. I found one listed on Reddit from last year but not sure if it's accurate. I could call them but hoping to file this weekend. Of course I closed my account this week so can't log in to check.

I did the PNC bonus. I got a 1099 for the interest but not the bonus, which I thought was strange. Anyhow, the TIN is 22-1146430.
 
We were going to go to LL last summer but decided to go to SW instead. My boys are almost 8 and 10. They both still love Lego’s and I think would really enjoy LL. We may try to fit that into our FLtrip this summer.
Do you know about homeschool days? Looks like they end the first week of June, maybe start back up in August, but you can't beat the price, $14.50 for students and $29 for adults!
 
Two ideas.

1. Delete DH’s Ebates account and start a new one, perhaps using a different email address. https://deletewebs.com/how-to-delete-ebate-account/

Or,

2. Go into the account settings for DH’s first account, and there should be an option to change the name, email, address, PayPal account, etc., and change the account over from DH to you. Once that’s done, maybe DH can set up a new Ebates account using a different email address.

I’m thinking that setting up a new account under a new email address will hopefully avoid raising flags that this is a duplicate account. You’d also want to delete the old account or change over the info in the old account so it doesn’t look like the new account is a duplicate of the old account.

Be sure to sign up for a new account from the direct link on DoC. It’ll prompt you to log into your (or DH’s) Amex account that has your (or DH’s) MR-earning personal cards. This program only works if you have an eligible MR-earning personal card (like DH’s Plat) and Ebates will check for that and deposit earned MRs to that account after every quarter.

Thank you for the advice. I passed it all on to DH since it's his account. He says he did click the link and tried to sign up with his Plat but it somehow reverted to cash back and never even gave him the opportunity to enter his card info. I really appreciate your help. So far Ebates has been less than helpful, making him think he doesn't want to deal with them at all. But I'll get him to try again.
 
How long have you had your Capital One? That answer might determine your next step.

For Disney you could look at the UR’s for cash back to pay for Disney. It probably depends...the Arrival Plus was a good choice as the bonus is high right now. Maybe you should get one for him too?

My Capital One card was opened in June of last year. I was planning to cancel it in May to avoid the annual fee. An Arrival Plus for him is a good idea!
 
Got the Ebates credit card. 4x MR on GCM purchases? No Limit?? I maybe canceling my CIPs lol.

OMG. You went for this? LOL. What's your credit limit? That seems to be the big impediment.
Nice Move (for somebody who will do MS). A lot of the discussions in some private groups I'm in indicate this could be short lived. I'd hit it HARD as you never know how long it will last :)
 
This one I got is a crock pot too (duh, it's crock pot brand, lol) but I won't give up my big Crock Pot. Got it for a wedding gift all those years ago. Use it all the time. I figure with the pressure cooker and giant crock pot I can really cook a lot of things at once. This should help with meal prep. Our food budget has gotten out of control and we both need to eat better. So I'm trying to reign us in.

I just read the entire product manual for this pressure cooker. I may make DH set it up. I don't want to blow up the house!

My mom hasn't blown anything up so I have confidence you'll do fine. She even did the first test all on her own. Our biggest issue is the timing, you read the directions and then say well we have x pounds of meat so we'll cook it for this long and then it's not long enough. Or it doesn't get started early enough so we eat an hour later than normal. The other thing is cooking the beef with the potatoes, it's fine if you also want your potatoes to taste like the beef. I need to find a steamer thing that fits in on top of the meat that we can put the potatoes in. Hard boiled eggs are super easy and would be great if you needed to do a lot for deviled eggs or something. I've been checking books out from the library to get recipes from.

The other issue, and I think it was just the cut we picked, the roast (not pot, might've been rump, not chuck, probably the other I can't remember) we cooked in taco seasoning with water so we could do shredded beef tacos. I've done this in the slow cooker with chuck and that's probably what we should have used. The roast we had was good and it shredded but it didn't taste like taco meat until the next day when I had it for leftovers and it had been in the liquid for over 12 hours.

I want to try meatloaf and meatballs, I have recipes for both. And chocolate pudding but there's only 2 of use so I've been holding off on that one.

Yeah, probably won’t last long. When I wasn’t so busy I was getting 6 MOs a day. If I got 6 cards a day for 365 days a year it would be $40,000 a year in profit. (Minus fees and cashing out the MR) I spent a little more than that on living expenses lol
 
Random Raise.com Observation:

So I noticed you can RAF to Raise - I didn't see any explicit household limit so my wife chose to support me...
  • I registered her
  • She instantly received $5 Raise Cash (which you can use on an order)
  • She got a coupon for $10 off $100
  • We can't use both together so she placed an order for ~$100 in Walmart for ~$90
  • Then we placed an order for ~$10 Walmart for ~$5 with the raise cash
  • Then she got an email that if she placed another order within 72 hours she'd receive another $10 off coupon
  • So we bought another ~$10 Walmart this time for just a few pennies off
So we bought $121.45 in Walmart Gift Cards and saved $16.09 (not bad since it's hard to get Walmart GC savings anywhere...plus we earned 1% Ebates on that too)

Funny thing though...I now have $15 Raise Cash in MY account. I was supposed to get $5 Raise Cash for the RAF bonus but I guess each order triggered the $5. I don't want to abuse this or press my luck so I'll stick with that, but it sounds like we can get another ~$15 Walmart Gift Card now for free! AND we still have that other $10 coupon coming too.

I've never had any issues with Raise. They do send a ton of spammy crappy emails and when they have a national promo I rarely can find anything worth purchasing. I basically try to use them when they give me personal promos (like all of this above) and buy Walmart cards, lol. At any rate - figured I'd share with the group. The Raise link has your last name in it so I won't be adding it to DISchurners but if anybody wants to support me feel free to send a PM and I'll share it that way :) I dunno why I get excited over things like this that save me < $50 but it makes me happy haha!
So this one just keeps going...
  • My wife received the $10 off next order coupon
  • Then we got an email that said if she places 2 more $50 orders in the next 10 days we'll get another $10 promo code (and this would only have an $11 minimum order)
  • So We bought another ~$104 in Walmart Gift Cards for ~$93 to use the promo code
  • AND I get an email saying I earned another $5 in Raise Cash from the referral...every order she places is giving me $5!
  • Now I'm tempted to go for another $50 order (with no promo code this time) to see if I can get another $5 for me and then qualify for the $10 promo code
By the time this is all said and done, I think I'm going to acquire about $325 in Walmart GCs for < $275 @ a 15%+ savings!
 
Do you know about homeschool days? Looks like they end the first week of June, maybe start back up in August, but you can't beat the price, $14.50 for students and $29 for adults!
I didn’t! Thanks for sharing. We will be in Orlando in August so I’ll check if the dates work for us. I miss when Disney did homeschool days :sad:
 
I’m over 5/24 so it’s all good. This is going to be my easy MS money maker. I can get the cards with my name on them and make bank with this. I only got a $1000 limit, but it says temporary.

That's what Synchrony does, it's weird. My Banana Republic card started with an $800 limit the first few weeks, then went up to $4k.

So to get going, I need to refer my dh to raise? Wait for coupon and see if we get lucky with the rolling discount??

Can't help with the TIN since I only made a couple bucks interest, but it was reported that PNC was considering the bonus misc income instead of interest so if it was under the 1099MISC limit of $600 they aren't issuing the 1099. So can just use whatever you find online.

That would explain why my Rose Gold is the only card I haven’t been able to get this offer on. But maybe my new BBP....

BBP is a credit card so I don't think it'll get that offer.
 
My son might be moving there soon too since Lipscomb is his top choice for college. He’s a senior this year and I’m really going to miss him next year! It’s in the Green Hills area. I’m not positive he’ll actually end up there, but he really likes the idea of getting an earlier spring compared to Ohio!
Green Hills is very nice. Not somewhere one can live with children unless they want to spend $25k/year on private school though. :(
 
I’d say 3-12 is the larger window with the ideal group being 5-10. There are some height requirements on some things with a few that are 44” and 48”.

We are sort of borderline then. Both boys like legos still. They have just turned 9 and 11 in a couple weeks.
