00:00 - 00:03 | The internets report that Wells Fargo has fixed their 5% bonus accounting. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Here are the closest branches where we can apply. |
00:06 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | With our FICO scores and combined incomes, if we deposit enough in a checking account we stand to receive a decent credit limit. |
00:12 - 00:15 | We can start getting 5% on Vanilla Reloads for the next six months. |
00:17 - 00:19 | I hate Wells Fargo |
00:19 - 00:21 | but 5% on trips to CVS is too much to pass up. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | CVS... |
00:31 - 00:33 | CVS changed reloadable cards to cash only starting tomorrow. |
00:34 - 00:36 | I checked myself and confirmed it's not a rumor. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who hasn't yet frozen Experian, get out now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What the hell is CVS thinking? |
01:15 - 01:17 | What's the only reason to step foot in a CVS? |
01:18 - 01:23 | Do they think they're fighting fraud by demanding payment in untraceable currency? |
01:25 - 01:28 | I was this close to Singapore's legendary first class cabin! |
01:29 - 01:31 | It's most of my bucket list. |
01:31 - 01:34 | We were going to see the world! For free! |
01:34 - 01:37 | I was all set to earn the companion pass |
01:37 - 01:40 | and then to match Mosaic status on JetBlue! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, JetBlue mosaic status isn't that valuable anyway. |
01:42 - 01:46 | So you want to wait to check-in, wait to board, pay extra for the golf clubs! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, you only need the golf clubs for warm weather. |
01:48 - 01:52 | What kind of weather do you think I'm flying to, you nimwit! |
01:53 - 01:54 | It was right in front of us |
01:56 - 01:57 | One more Executive card was all I needed to go |
01:57 - 02:00 | around the world. Now Citi's spend requirement is gonna tear me a new one- |
02:00 - 02:03 | last time I had to spend that much, I bought that ridiculous Burberry trench |
02:04 - 02:08 | just because the model looked so damn good in it! |
02:08 - 02:13 | Now it just sits in the closet, mocking me with how much I spent on it! |
02:14 - 02:16 | They lulled me into thinking I'd never fall into that trap again |
02:17 - 02:21 | This game, this CVS, it's run by Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | I've spent so many hours reading FlyerTalk |
02:30 - 02:34 | No circles and arrows for me! I pledged to keep those deals close to the vest |
02:34 - 02:36 | But still it wasn't enough. |
02:41 - 02:42 | This goose- |
02:43 - 02:47 | This was the goose that laid the golden eggs! Unlimited 5%! |
02:48 - 02:53 | That's cold hard cash, not Lufthansa Miles or Avios |
02:54 - 02:56 | or whatever the blogs are pushing now! |
02:56 - 02:59 | Earn enough cashback and we could even |
03:00 - 03:02 | afford to pay those fuel charges |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay. It's not like it's an Amex Financial Review. |
03:14 - 03:16 | I never thought this day would come. |
03:19 - 03:23 | I knew we should diversify our approach, I just don't want to drive all the way to Wally World. |
03:25 - 03:26 | It's us. |
03:31 - 03:33 | The golden goose... |
03:40 - 03:45 | Golden eggs conveniently located in every town across the country. |
03:46 - 03:49 | and then we went and killed it. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Cancel my cards. |
