I need money order help. I deposited $999.08 in money orders at B of A. They were deposited and then B of A adjusted the amount to offset the deposit. They said they can't read the amounts. I was told they can't give me the money orders back and there's a letter coming and they can give me a copy of money orders. How the heck do I get my money back?

This sounds really strange. How far off was the amount? Was it done in branch? Or did you use an ATM? I always deposit money orders in person and check the receipt before I leave. You'd be surprised how often they have it wrong. If you have the MO receipt, or at least a copy of the serial number, you can verify the MO with the issuer and show that to the bank.
 
I just got an offer on an Amex Biz Gold for 110,000 points. I was trying to decide my next card and was looking on DOC. He had a link for a 90,000 gold biz plus 10k when adding an employee, I went to the link in incognito and logged in to Amex. I didn't think I would even get that offer, but was just looking at my options, then it popped up with the 70,000 crossed out and 110,000 showing (for 10K spend). I really hadn't planned on applying for a card today, but I jumped on it and was approved. That is a high offer right? Problem is I did "print screen" to take a screen shot of the offer, but hadn't pasted it somewhere, then when I was approved I did "print screen" again, so lost the first one. How can I check that the 110,000 offer is attached? Thanks.
UGH! Ya'll are killing me w/ better Amex offers. I wonder can I chat to get a better offer? I was sent an email preapproving me for 80k w/ $10k spend. And I was sitting in the funeral home when I quickly applied. I did check and the public offer was 60k at the time so I knew the 80k was better. But now there's 110k. And I'm getting nothing but the URs for the damn AF! I really should have done the Amex Plat Biz. Live and learn.

Hey y'all, here's a good reminder to wear sunscreen on an airplane, something most people probably don't think about. As a former flight crew member who had a smidge of skin cancer recently, I just wanted to share the PSA:

My BF definitely doesn't wear it flying. I've heard of lots of pilots getting skin cancer. I know my mom recently had a spot. I'm sure it's in my future having grown up in the 80's w/ a pool when sunscreen wasn't a thing, LOL.
 
I had it on my Gold and on DD's AU gold card. But nothing on DH. I usually like to get QT GCs with these offers, they are great teacher holiday gifts.
That's a great idea... I would love to receive a QT gift card! We typically use these offers for gas fill ups, we're boring, lol.

As Arcades mentioned there's the 190k offer (with employee AUs) with $20k spend, and there's also a 130k offer with $10k spend available by referral. Plus additional points for the AU cards if you want to go that route. Typically the 130k offer takes some trial and error to get it to show from the referral link; most (including myself) get it to show with a Private Browsing window in Firefox.
 
Saw a couple of new Amex Offers:

- Uber/UberEats spend $15 get 500 MRs up to 5x. I tried an Uber reload, which showed up as Uber Cash. No e-mail so I think it didn't work.

- split charge $15 get $5 up to 3x.
So, I got the split charge one and it seemed too good to be true. I "split" a $30 charge with Hubby, he paid it on PayPal, and I got the email that I used an AmEx offer. It seems like they're just going to give me $5.

Is it really that easy? Am I missing something? Because Hubby can "split" a couple more random AmEx charges (using money out of our joint checking, lol) if they just want to give me money.
 
I get hot easy and cold easy, it can be a pain :rotfl: but when a tshirt, fitted fleece zip and a zip hoodie aren't enough I don't know if this and one layer would work. Even when I run outside and it's cold I don't wear long sleeves under my fleece, it's too much. I also think once we have enough people so we can play games and I'm sweeping more than I'm standing around I may not need the extra outer layer. Or hoping it would be warmer than the fleece then I don't need the first fleece jacket.

We're trying to get enough people to start an official club so for now it's been mostly reaching and throwing with little sweeping. Amd employees keep telling us it'll get colder as it gets colder outside. :cold: (mostly cause I never get to use it and we have had a serious lack of emojis now that they are more hidden on mobile.
I think I found a jacket. We'll see when it gets here if it fits. Ordered a girls XL so not sure the arms will be long enough. They didn't include those measurements. It may also be too fitted for what I want even if it does fit.

Pretty sure they don't match, most don't. I knownit sucks but given the circumstances I'd be happy you were able to get the new card with a number so fast. It's eventually going to happen to all of us if it hasn't already.
 
Thanks, his application is pending but I just noticed that they haven't pulled his credit. Hopefully I, I mean he, didn't type in the wrong SSN.
I would obviously wait a week or so and keep checking before calling but I did immediately get an email saying that a lender pulled my credit. An incorrect SSN is easy enough to correct and get approval. I've forgotten to unfreeze my credit before and it was approved once they could access my credit.
 
Okay I'm set up to start buying the ibonds. I'm going to assume that I can buy in any increments. Like for my 17yo I'm thinking of buying 10 $1000 bonds so I can cash them out as needed vs needing to cash out the entire $10k. Like there isn't any benefit I'm missing for buying $10k vs 10 $1k?
 
There are 190k Biz Gold offers floating out there (180k for 20k spend + 10k for 1k AU spend). You can use the chat feature to confirm the bonus.

As Arcades mentioned there's the 190k offer (with employee AUs) with $20k spend, and there's also a 130k offer with $10k spend available by referral.

Lesson learned not to go looking for offers if I’m not sure what the best offer out there is. I hate how you might not get it back if you don’t take it on the spot. Oh well, it doesn’t take a 5/24 spot and I’ll be meeting the spend very quickly with tuition. In fairness I wouldn’t want the 20k spend, so it’s really just the 130k offer I missed out on.
 
This sounds really strange. How far off was the amount? Was it done in branch? Or did you use an ATM? I always deposit money orders in person and check the receipt before I leave. You'd be surprised how often they have it wrong. If you have the MO receipt, or at least a copy of the serial number, you can verify the MO with the issuer and show that to the bank.
They said they can't read the amount (even though it's written out and says 499.54). I used an ATM. They are sending me a copy of the money orders so I guess once I get that I'll sort this out.

Sure! :) It's just a way for them to get you to try it out. I certainly wouldn't have without the offer.
 
Okay new question....I have a 5 Back Gift Card that wasn't working. When I swiped the stripe was messed up. So I called them back on 9/22 and they said they'd send a new card. Well I don't have the new card. And the old card is now not active so I can't even use it online. When I tried to call the number on the back, I can't get ANYWHERE because you have to enter the card numbers, and my card is invalid.

How do I now get ahold of someone to get this $200 back? The only things I can find online is a phone number and a mailing address. I swear all my GC issues has me never wanting to buy them again! It's through Blackhawk Network. I've even tried numbers for them, but again, I have to enter a card number.
 
Once those of you with multiple travel cards have gotten GE for yourselves and your traveling partners... what do you do with an additional GE credits?

Did you try repeatedly mashing on the 0, # or *? Sometimes that will work. And yes mashing because by the time you are trying this you are mad (but really that other word that I think gets censored, starts with a p). It's not as satisfying on a cell phone as a real phone with actual buttons :rotfl2:

To make sure I understand this...
I pick a charge (I just made two Chewy charges of $50)
I send a split request to my dd through Venmo, for $15.
She does that, (which I then give her back LOL), and I get $5?

If that is all correct...
can I split with the same person more than once?
does it matter if I had an Amex offer for the Chewy charge?

yup! I tried hitting 0, entering 000000000000000000 as the card number. I tried #, I tried *. NOTHING gets you to a human. And when I enter the legit card number they say "this is an inactive card, good bye"


Offer them to close friends and family. But no one's taken me up on it yet!
Yup....offer them up to friends!

We've used ours for grandparents. BFs or GFs of your kids, if they are that old. We have four kids, so ours definitely didn't go to waste, lol.
