NuRide – Earn Points for Carpooling, Biking & Telecommuting

I was over at My Frugal Life and Dawn mentioned a post by Amanda over at My Dollar Plan – Ten Surprising Ways You Can Earn Cash.  I clicked through on number ten, but found that I can’t participate since the NuRide, Inc. program isn’t in my area yet.  But if you happen to [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Join AAA at 33% Savings

Have you been thinking about joining AAA?

I knew there were discounts for having a Triple A membership, but the last time I looked they were for things like car rentals, hotel stays, or trips to Disneyland. Then I read on a personal finance blog not too long ago (sorry I can’t remember [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

T-Mobile Impresses Yet Again

Back in June I had to replace my cell phone.  The guy at Costco was really helpful and even filled out my rebate form, taped the UPC to it and had it all ready so I just had to send it on its way. I’d misplaced it for a couple of weeks, but then [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

PaperBackSwap Club

I’ve heard about these book swapping clubs, and decided to check into PaperBackSwap.  I joined, then browsed around and clicked a couple of books onto my reminder list; then I saw one that looked very intriguing and put it on my wish list. I guess the “wish list” is when the book isn’t listed [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

I have asked the bank before, but I really don’t like imposing on them for something I should have already done. His accounts are at a credit union and I was [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

$25 Amazon Gift Certificate Contest at I Pick Up Pennies

I’m sick so I’m up in the middle of the night. I’m not going to work today. If you followed me on Twitter, you’d have known that. I think it’s a cold, and ever since I was diagnosed with asthma 6 years ago colds just haven’t been the same. I don’t get sick very [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Using Too Many Rebate Companies

When I bought Big A’s shoes from Zappos at the end of October, I remember thinking I would get back 10%.

But darn it, I can’t remember who I used through Evreward. I have only signed up with Ebates, BigCrumbs, Mr. Rebates and Cashbaq, but none show pending rebates. Drat! That would have [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

How My Computer Lost $75

I guess it was really me, as we all know that computers don’t do anything on their own. Right?

A couple of weeks ago the morning started out like any other day, and a window popped open warning me that the computer had to be restarted as it had just finished downloading updates. It [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Earn Cash with Big Crumbs

Here’s what I do when I need to make an online purchase. First I go to Ev’reward.

Next I type in the store from which I’m planning to shop. This time it was VistaPrint. I’ve bought business cards from them many times, and I need to order new cards for Mr. A because I [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
