Discover Card Free Online Privacy Protection Review (Opt Out of People Search Sites)

May 8, 2022 by Jonathan Ping

Discover is offering their credit card and banking customers another free service called Online Privacy Protection (press release). Essentially, it automatically submits opt-out requests at 10 selected “people search sites”. These are creepy websites that scrape your personal information from many different publicly-available databases and then makes money by selling access. I wrote about these invasive sites previously and you may be surprised at how much information about you is floating around out there – age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, and the names of your parents, siblings, children, cousins, and in-laws. Once catch is that you must access this feature via the Discover app. They are still rolling it out, so it may not be available to everyone yet. I used the … [Read More...]

Mastercard Free ID Theft Protection and Credit Monitoring

May 1, 2022 by Jonathan Ping

Update April 2022: Just a quick update that this has been a useful, additional free identity theft protection service. Today, I electronically signed some “power of attorney”-type papers through Docusign and they had me answer some identity verification questions like “which address have you been associated with?” that pulled from my credit reports and driver’s license data. Immediately, I got the following alert from Mastercard Identity Protection that even included the exact questions asked: Previously, this service has also alerted me that my personal information like name/email have been found in data breaches from random websites like autoexpresscars.com and drivesure.com. These are all events that did not trigger any alerts from my other credit bureau-based monitoring services. Therefore, I … [Read More...]

March 20, 2022 by Jonathan Ping

New deal March 17th, 2022. The US Mint regularly releases limited-edition coins to collectors.

MMB Project Free IRA 2021: $5,592 in Bonuses, $2500+ in Extra Interest

January 2, 2022 by Jonathan Ping

2021 end-of-year update. I have an informal goal each year of earning the equivalent of the maximum annual IRA contribution limit of $6,000 using the profits from various promotions alone. If you had put $6,000 into your IRA every year for the last 10 years (2011-2020) and invested in a simple Target Date retirement fund, you would have turned small deals into a $100,000+ nest egg. Example. I was recently approved for the new Capital One Venture X card, and I was hoping the $1,000+ value would put me over the $6,000 threshold. I’m very confident that I’ll get at least $1,000 out of this card, as (1) we have multiple upcoming trips planned, (2) are renewing Global Entry for… [Read More...]

Finally Time to Start Redeeming Miles and Points Again!

October 31, 2021 by Jonathan Ping

It’s been a while since I’ve redeemed any airline miles or hotel points, so I’m excited to start doing so again. We still had thousands of dollars in airline credit balances from early 2020, and I just booked a flight and two hotel nights in Vancouver, Canada. This also gave me an opportunity to check out the current value of some of my currency. I have to work around school schedules so it’s hard to fully maximize the value of every point. The cash price for a junior suite during Spring Break at the Hilton Vancouver Airport for our family of 5 was CAD $343, which is US $$277 per night. The same room with the same cancellation policy costs 50,000 Hilton Honors points per night… [Read More...]
