My mother refers to that place as T-Shirt Mike's, because she can't remember the name.

They've been running ads pimping the free delivery on Saturdays...may just be through the end of this month.  I don't have one close enough to the house or I would have ordered a few times...

You have a BIG new travel benefit with your Capital One Walmart Rewards card
 

Get 2% cash back on travel bookings with your Capital One Walmart Rewards® card.
 

 @MP80 , FYI in case you're in the market for the seventeenth-worst travel rewards card in the US.

Experian credit monitoring alerting me to a CLD on my Synchrony CareCredit:  $20k -> $6k.

 

Card has been inactive for 15 mo ...

 

To the rescue!:  I had the partial tooth underlying a 20 year old crown literally break into pieces on me.  (old root canal, so no pain; fortunately no sign of gum disease).  Been dragging my heals on what likely needs to be updated with an implant (been preoccupied with Bev's immediate health needs).

 

A likely 50% copay on the dental ins, so some promo financing may come in handy.

Not credit related, but email notification this afternoon that power has been restored to our MA home 85+ hours after the NE'er windstorm blew it out.

 

Move target to the home has slipped back to December (roughly 2 years after purchase and initial intended move).  First improvement on the slate:  whole house generator.

Maybe I should seriously consider downgrading my Venture card to a Wal-Mart card to avoid a yearly annual fee. 

 

But I don't think it's possible from a legacy card to a co-brander.

Amex emailed me saying I'm a valued customer and I am pre-approved for the Platinum Card. Thanks but no thanks. The AF is a killer for our budget.

You're smart!  

 

When being a fool is bad enough, people are talking about how to get an invitation to join the Centurion Card Club, which is now a more silly ridiculous imbecile than entering the American Express Platinum Club.

Feels good on one hand to get the offer but no way.

As an important philanthropist like Warren Buffett who carries an American Express Green Card, it goes without saying speaks for itself.

BofA telling me I have a deal for Bruegger's Bagels expiring in 13 days.

Two messages, spaced two hours apart, from our dry cleaner asking how they did on our last order.

 

I already did my part when I responded to their hanger shortage plea, and included a bunch of wire hangers with the shirts before I hung the bag on the front door on pick-up day.

I'm really tired of the how-did-we-do followups.  Like, if I paid for it, didn't complain, and haven't filed a chargeback, then I'm fine, you're fine (or your mediocrity isn't worth a passing thought), everything's fine, please stop begging me to pat you on the head.  If I have a problem, You. Will. Know.  Otherwise, assume you hit it out of the park.

 

You DO NOT WANT full engagement from me, because I WILL find your faults.  And also, for that level of engagement (read: work), I get paid.

 

Anyway, even that rant is overefforting the issue.  Your post just rang home today.

I don't mind the first request, but the follow-ups kill me.

 

I've had a subscription with The Bouqs for about three years.  They deliver fresh flowers to my grandfather, who lives in a nursing home, once a month. 

 

I love this company's service and their products are outstanding, and I've written a couple of glowing public reviews after they've asked me to offer feedback.  

 

But please, at some point, I'm buying things from you   e v e r y   s i n g l e   month and just want to be left alone.

I keep getting ads on Facebook for credit unions in San Diego.  I'll come back to this.

 

When I received an email today from Bank of America inviting me to opening a saving account, I thought...  the APY must be awful.

 

It was.  0.04% with the Platinum Honors tier bonus.   

 

So then I thought, I wonder what Mission Federal pays.  I can't get away from their ads.

Simple edit to keep you turdburglars from stealing my promo code. 

 

The code was unique to me; I received it after acting on an AA/Mastercard offer several weeks ago.
