Fidelity Rewards American Express Cards – 2% Cash Back!

David — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:00:23 +0000

A lot of readers send me email regarding the “Best Cash Back Credit Card”. Most credit cards offer 1% cash back but only a few credit cards are still offering 2% cash back without any restrictions. But the Fidelity Rewards American Express Cards are the only credit card that I will recommend to you. (Yes, I know that Orchard Bank credit card or Household Bank credit card are offering 2% cash back but their credit limits are too low!) There are three versions of this credit card. Most people will go to the Fidelity^® Investment Rewards American Express^® Card. If you are a college student, then you can also consider the Fidelity Investments 529 College Rewards^® American Express^® Card. Others might want the Fidelity^® Retirement Rewards American Express^® Card.

Main features of this credit card:

Turn 2% of purchases into a deposit in your Fidelity account
No limits on cash rewards
No annual fee

Different versions of this credit card need to be linked to different Fidelity accounts to be eligible to get the 2% cash back.

Fidelity^® Investment Rewards American Express^® Card ~~~~ a mySmart Cash Account ® or brokerage account.

Fidelity^® Retirement Rewards American Express^® Card ~~~~ your Fidelity IRA.

Fidelity Investments 529 College Rewards^® American Express^® Card ~~~~ Fidelity 529 account.

Fineprint:

Customers earn 2 points for each $1 in net retail purchases. Once you reach 5,000 points, they can be redeemed automatically or on demand for cash at a 1% exchange rate into an eligible Fidelity account (i.e. 5,000 points = $50 deposit). The ability to contribute to an IRA or 529 college savings plan account is subject to IRS rules and specific program policies, including those on eligibility and annual and maximum contribution limits.

Bank of America Add It Up Program Promotions

David — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:00:44 +0000

I introduced the Add It Up program from Bank of America early this year. It seems that not many of my readers are interested in this program including myself. I usually us ebates.com or mrrebates.com to earn cash back. Now I found that actually Add It Up will offer huge cash back for certain merchants when they run promotions. So I think it is necessary to point it out and let all of you guys know this.

Enroll in Add It Up is very simple. Login your online account at Bank of America and then at the Customer Service section you can find the link to Add It Up program. All you have to do is to provide email address to let BOA to contact you regarding cash back and choose the accounts (some or all) to enroll in this program (banking accounts or credit cards accounts are qualified). Finally, you want to choose the account that the cash back will be deposited to either credit card or checking account will be OK). Now you are ready to earn cash back by shopping online through Add It Up!

The Key is how much they will reward you for shopping through Add It Up. Now I have some popular merchants for your reference.

Sears.com 6%
BestBuy.com 3%
Staples.com 4%
Target.com 8%
WalMart.com 4%
Apple Store 4%

They can be found at the Limited Time Offer section in the program page.

After you click the merchant to shop, Add It Up will once again to confirm that you are going to enter the merchant’s page. SO the cash back will not be lost because you are always asked to get the permission to go to the merchant’s website.

The limited time offers change all the time. So before you place the order via other cash back websites, it is a good habit to check current rate at Add It Up to earn more cash back.

Some of you may ask “How long does it take to get my cash back rewards?”

Answer: It can take up to 90-120 days for cash back awards to be credited to your account. Why? Participating retailers must first confirm your purchase and typically they have up to 90 days from the purchase date to reverse a transaction for return purposes. During this time, your award will have a Pending status on the My Awards page.

But please note that Washington and Idaho BOA customers are not eligible for this program .

Ebates.com Introduces Fast Cash

David — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:48 +0000

Ebates.com is the only cashback rewards program that I am using now for shopping online. If you do not know what is Ebates.com and how it works, please refer to my post about ebates.com. If you join ebates.com now, you can get free $5 bonus for signing up and making a purchase (you have to make a purchase to make the $5 bonus eligible). Ebates.com used to provide check or paypal to pay your cashback (you need to earn >$5 to get paid). But now Ebates.com is offering FAST CASH which allows you to easily use your cashback rewards at Ebates.com without getting checks or paypal payments.

To me FAST CASH is really functional, you can use your FAST CASH to make online purchase, or transfer money to your bank account, or even order a real plastic visa prepaid card with your balance at Ebates.com and use it at checkout!

When you choose to use FAST CASH, you will be issued a free VISA virtual account. It has a credit card/debit card-like card number, expiration date, security code and your billing address. This VISA virtual account has all the payment information you need to shop online. Your Visa virtual debit card is used just like a credit card – but it is not a credit card and carries no interest charges or annual fee.

Since you can not exceed the amount in your account, you can add a credit card to relate your VISA virtual account and make a payment just like a credit card. But this feature will add more security for your online shopping! You can also transfer your balance to your bank account or request a real plastic visa credit to use. I really like ebates. The cashback is really fast and they are very reliable.

Start shopping with Ebates.com and earning cashback now!

Below is how the FAST CASH Account looks like:

Bank of America New Add It Up Program offers Cash Back for Online Shopping

David — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:00:09 +0000

Bank of America just announced the launch of a new online shopping site-Add It Up, which is said to allows enrolled customers to earn up to 20% cash back on their purchases at more than 270 online retailers, including top names such as Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Barnes & Noble.com. This seems to be a new cash back website for Bank of America’s online banking customers.

It looks like a new cash back website for me. Many credit card issuers also offer similar reward website. For example, Chase has the Chase Rewards Plus, Discover Card has the ShopDiscover, and Citi has the Citi Cash Bonus Center. But from this move, we can see that Bank of America is dedicated to serve its customers. “With Add It Up, Bank of America is giving customers a new way to stretch their money by getting cash back on purchases from hundreds of retailers they do business with regularly, and letting them do it online at their convenience.” as indicated by David Owen, Checking and Debit executive for Bank of America.

The merchants listed at Add It Up look really great. Add It Up has included essentially all major US online merchants and covered all categories. You can get up to 20% cash back from more than 270 participating online retailers (such as iTunes, Macys.com, BestBuy.com, Barnes & Noble.com, Walmart.com, Homedepot.com, Sephora.com, Staples.com, Gap.com, PETCO.com, Overstock.com, REI.com and LandsEnd.com). Plus you can combine Add It Up cash back with existing deals and discounts from retailers and other Bank of America programs such as Keep The Change and BankAmericard Rewards. It indeed is a great cash back deal for Bank of America customers!

Bank of America customers with a current Bank of America credit or check card who are enrolled in online banking can register for free through the Add It Up site at http://www.bankofamerica.com/additup.
