Kudos Smart Wallet $20 Referral Code

R.J. Weiss — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 14:32:19 +0000

Kudos, a new cashback extension, is offering new members a $20 bonus when using a referral code. Here’s how it works: Boost merchants are simply retailers in the Kudos rewards ecosystem. Kudos works with over 15,000 online stores, including Walmart, Lowes, BestBuy, Nike, and Petco. How Kudos Smart Wallet Works Kudos works differently than your typical cashback extension in that it helps you find the credit card that will maximize your rewards on the purchase and then doubles (and sometimes more) the cashback amount you earn with that card. For example, I uploaded multiple cards to Kudos, including the Capital […]

Hometap Review: What You Need to Know About the Costs

R.J. Weiss — Thu, 30 May 2024 21:26:44 +0000

Traditionally, using your home equity to get cash meant taking out a loan or credit line. Although useful, these debt products involve monthly payments. But a new option has emerged, with a handful of companies investing in home equity rather than lending on it. This allows homeowners to leverage their equity for cash without adding another monthly payment. One such company is Hometap, which offers homeowners a lump sum of cash today in exchange for a share of their home’s future value. But is Hometap the smartest way to tap your home equity? To help you decide, I’ve evaluated all […]

Get Paid to Watch Videos & Ads? Myth vs. Reality In 2024

R.J. Weiss — Wed, 15 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Earning passive income by “watching” videos or ads — usually by letting them play in the background on your computer while you do something else — used to be a popular way to make money on reward sites like Swagbucks. Unfortunately, most sites have discontinued the feature, and the ones that still offer it pay pennies per hour. Beyond rewards sites, many TikTok videos claim you can make $45 per hour (or more!) by tagging videos for Netflix. But we researched that claim and found that while “Netflix tagger” jobs are real, they’re all but impossible to get hired for […]

PointsYeah Review (2024): My Top Free Award Travel Search Tool

R.J. Weiss — Wed, 08 May 2024 21:31:51 +0000

PointsYeah has quickly become my go-to award travel search tool, saving me countless hours and a significant number of points. For example, on a recent trip to Costa Rica, my family and I were initially set to depart from Chicago at 5:30 a.m., with a brief stopover in Charlotte before heading to Liberia. However, two weeks prior to our trip, PointsYeah’s alert system found a non-stop route in the mid-morning that shaved off hours of travel time and cost fewer points. In fact, we were able to switch from paying 19,500 points per ticket to 12,500. While I did pay […]

Velocity Banking Explained: How It Works + Should You Do It

R.J. Weiss — Wed, 08 May 2024 08:00:00 +0000

No one likes making a mortgage payment every month, or owing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home. But despite the fact that millions of people are searching for ways to pay off their mortgage ahead of schedule and get out from under that debt, there are relatively few legit strategies for doing so, aside from simply paying more than the minimum each month. One of the methods that’s getting attention these days is an approach known as velocity banking, which is sometimes said to allow you to pay off a 30-year mortgage in as little as five to […]
