Change Your Sprint Plan to $30 SERO YMMV
Believe it or not, you can still get on the Sprint $30 SERO plan with 500 anytime minutes, free unlimited data, free unlimited texts, free 7pm and weekend, picture mail, and more. The quickest way to get on SERO now is to find someone with SERO who is willing to do a Transfer of Liabibity(TOL) at the Sprint store. You can find people willing to sell SERO plan on Craigslist or Ebay for around $50 or more.
As you know, the $30 plan is dead at the direct website. There is a second method: Many people from different forums have reported to have some success after a few attempts through the CSR. This is YMMV but can save you a lot of money on phone bills.
First you must know someone with a SERO plan already, and you want to mirror the same SERO plan with a different number. So say your hustband/wife has the SERO, then have your number under the same account or add another number. You can also find someone with SERO that you can trust, have him/her added your number under their plan. You can always do the TOL later for separate bill. Make sure you have an old phone ready to be activated. Follow these steps:
- You: Dialing 866-264-1282 (or 1-800-639-6111 or 1-888-882-4030 *less success with this one)
- CSR: How can I help you?
- You: My name is … Phone #…. password, etc
- CSR: Hello Mr. Hustler, how can I help you?
- You: Am I eligible to add an additional line?
- CSR: One minute, oh yes of course.
- You: I have an old phone ready and I would like to add a line with the plan code FF1124C
- or another option: You: Currently, I have the Sprint SERO $30 plan 500 minutes plan. I have another phone number (or I would like to add another number) that I want to have the exact SERO plan for $30 with 500 minutes.
- CSR: The SERO F & F 500 plan?
- You: I just want another line with the exact same plan.
- CSR: I can do that right now for you.
- You: Thanks. Could you repeat my new plan again?
- CSR: ……..
*Do not let them transfer you to tele sales. Tele sales cannot help you.
**Make sure you have an old phone ready to be activated right away.
***You’ll be eligible for the $150 upgrade with this new line. You can do this upgrade the next day.
Again, be polite and be persistent. You might want to call during daytime because people have reported more success than night time. Again, you might have to do this 3x, 5x, or 10x until you find someone that can do this for you. They might even ask for a Sprint referral email. Google sprint email or just use this one russ.s.mcguire(at)sprint.com

New Chase $125 Bonus til 5/15/2010
The $125 Chase bonus is back! You must log into your Chase account to see or email me for a printout. Print out now before they take it down again. It’s good until 5/15/2010. Get a $125 cash bonus when you open a Chase CheckingSM account and set-up direct deposit or make five debit card purchases. You’ll need a $100 minimum opening deposit. With so many branches and thousands of ATMs, banking with Chase couldn’t be more convenient.
Request a coupon by emailing me to hustlermoneyblog@gmail.com
You need to keep the account open for 6 months before canceling. Otherwise, the bonus will be taken back. I’m pretty sure they will take the offer down before the expiration date, so print it now!
From the website:
Bonus/Account Information – To qualify for the reward you must open a new Chase CheckingSM account with a $100 minimum opening deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates). Also, within 60 calendar days of account opening, you must initiate a monthly direct deposit which includes payroll, pension or Social Security, or other government benefits. The reward will be deposited into your new account within 10 days after the initial direct deposit has posted to your account. Limit one personal checking account-related reward/premium per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available on account conversions or in combination with any other offer. Reward is not considered part of the minimum opening balance. Checking account must remain open for a minimum of six months or the reward will be debited from the account at closing. Account is subject to approval. Reward is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT.
The physical locations are in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida , Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. I believe anyone can sign up online.
You must set up direct deposit in order to get the $125 bonus. If you don’t have a job DD, try first with Paypal. If it doesn’t count, then try ING, HSBC, Citibank, etc etc via ACH transfer to see if it counts as direct deposit. Again, your account must be opened for 6 months before closing.
American Express Premier Rewards Gold $150 Bonus
The American Express(R) Premier Rewards Gold Card is currently offering 15000 bonus points = $150 gift cards after $1000 in spending in your first 3 months. You can order coins to fulfill this promotion to do this quickly. This offer is a quick easy way to make $150 bonus. There is no fees for first year, so I would cancel the card before the anniversary if you don’t find it useful.
- Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards bonus points when you spend $1,000 in your first 3 months of Card membership. MR points are very versatile, and can be converted to 15,000 frequent flier miles in a number of programs (or 10 Southwest credits), or you can simply get $150 in gift cards at several stores like Home Depot, Crate & Barrel, or Macy’s. I think you can also get cash equivalents at a reduced ratio.
- Offers 3X points on airfare, 2X points on gas and groceries, and 1X points on everything else.
- Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards bonus points when you spend $30,000 per calendar year.
- No annual fee for your first year. After that it is $175.
Complete Chase Bonuses List
If Sprint is my number #1 company, then Chase is #2 since I’ve made so much money from their bonuses. At the same time, my readers have made so much money from Chase through their Checking, Business, and Credit Cards bonuses. Don’t get me wrong, I probably help Sprint get/retain a few thousand customers throughout the years or Chase new credit card/bank customers. Here’s the complete list below:
Chase Complete Bonus List
Personal Accounts:

- Chase $100 Bonus – Good until 4/30/2010. I’m not sure why there are two since the $125 is currently available. It’s possible you can stack on top of the $125, YMMV. Do this offer if the $125 coupon is taken down or you can’t find one in the mover’s guide.
- Chase 25K Continental Miles Bonus – You can get this deal in conjunction with the $125 bonus. However, you must get the continental debit card which will cost you $25. More in-dept Review on the 25K bonus. Good til March 31, 2010.

$25 ING Savings Bonus
ING Direct is an online bank with the quickest $25 bonus I can think of. I have set up some automatic links so you can sign up right away.

Setup is extremely fast and easy. Not only it’s a quick $25, the account is 1.25% APY and FDIC insured. You can also use this account to send money to other bank accounts such as Chase and Bank of America, and it will count as a Direct Deposit requirement.
Once you got your account open, you can send 50 referrals to your friends and family members to make up to $500 more.
Make sure to deposit $250 for opening deposit
Using Sprint BlackBerry without BIS
I just got a Blackberry Tour over the weekend, and currently using the Blackberry on my Sprint family plan. I got the phone for free using www.sprint.com/accenture link. Although I’m not sure if people still can go through the site using bogus email since Sprint is cracking down on this. Do so at your own risk.
It’s also funny how some people manage to make money selling the above link on Ebay. Here’s an example. That dude made over $3000 profit. LOL. f.y.i. That’s not me. haha.
In order to get online using Blackberry internet services(BIS), you must pay $30 charge each month. As always, I won’t paying for something when I know I can get it cheaper via a different method. Some people manage to get it for free long time ago, some manage to get BIS for $10 if you have a SERO.
**For SERO customers for BIS – you can get $10 as an add-on by calling 1-800-927-2199 or 1-866-264-1282 and tell them you want the BIS for $10.
Since I really don’t care about Blackberry PUSH email or their own instant messenger, I simply want to go online for news and regular email. You would still need a data plan and I was able to ask Sprint CSR for an unlimited data pack for $2.50 through Account Services.
Here’s what I did once I got data on my account.
- Download Mini Opera Browser to my desktop.
- Extract the file on your desktop.
- Download Blackberry Desktop to transfer Mini Opera file from PC to Blackberry.
- Go to download folder and move the Icon to the front so it will appear on your screen.
- Now open up the Opera browser for internet with Blackberry.
*You might need to update your profile if browser doesn’t work. Update by going to Options->Mobile Network–>left click(7 dots), then Update Profile.
Again, above is the short version. You might need to Google some more for more technical details.
Chase Sapphire $100 Bonus
Currently, Chase Sapphire(SM) Card is giving away 10,000 Bonus Points after first purchase. The 10,000 bonus points can be cashed in for a $100 check. There is no annual fee with the Chase Sapphire Card. I personally have this card and got a $100 Check.
With the Chase Sapphire(SM) Card, you get 2X on all airfare booked through Ultimate Rewards. There is no earning caps, point expiration, or blackout dates. Also, earn 10x for every dollar when shopping at select merchant through Ultimate Rewards Mall and 1 point for every dollar on all other purchases. Chase gives you 24/7 Dedicated service advisor (No voice recording) with premier travel protection benefits.
The $20 Trick
The twenty dollar bill trick has been around for years in the travel industry. I’ve never attempted to do it even though this would be up my alley to do something like this. The trick works best if you are staying at a Hotel in Las Vegas or a really nice Hotel in another city. When you check into a hotel, put a $20 bill with your confirmation credit card while giving your info to the front desk clerk. Ask the clerk, “Do you have any complimentary upgrades available?”. Usually, they check to see if there are upgrades available, if not, then they will return the $20.
More info:
- Best to be discreet. You want to put the $20 between your id and credit card.
- If you are staying at really nice hotel like the Venetian and such, you might consider using a $50 or a $100 bill instead of the usual $20.
- Upgrades include, but not limited to, corner room with view of the strip, king size bed, suite, free spas, etc.
- The success rate is usually around 75% according to most people that have done this.
Everbank 2.25% APY Accounts
I personally have an EverBank Freenet Checking Account. You get 2.25% APY for the first 3 months and up to 1.46% APY afterward. They have excellent customer services and my account account is extremely easy to navigate. Adding their Money Market Account and you will get the best combo of any internet banking experience. I highly recommend to bank with Everbank!
Interview with Craig Cassata of Mr. Rebates
As most of you know by now, I’m a big fan of Mr. Rebates($5 bonus) rewards program. They have some of the highest cash back from big names like Ebay, Home Depot, Walgreens, etc. Even better is Mr. Rebates referral program whereas you get 20% of the cash back at no cost to the people you refer.
For the very first interview on HustlerMoneyBlog, I have to reach out to Craig Cassata. He’s the founder and President of Mr. Rebates.
Where did you get your idea or inspiration for Mr. Rebates?
Mr. Rebates was actually founded to augment the online coupon usage phenomenon that started in the late 90s. I had thought that coupons were a great way to save money online but wouldn’t it be better to have a discount on every single purchase and not just when a coupon was available. Mr. Rebates fulfilled that void by offering both coupons and cash-back on purchases.
Could you tell us your role as President of Mr. Rebates?
In general, I have to say that I am involved in just about everything related to Mr. Rebates. It’s just my nature that I like being involved in all processes and seeing them to completion.
You have many competitors such as Fatwallet, Ebates, and BigCrumbs to name a few. Why should online shoppers choose Mr. Rebates instead?
Different strokes for different folks really. I think all cash-back sites (including Mr. Rebates) have strong points and weak points and it is really up to the consumer on what they value most from a rewards site.
With the recent addition of Microsoft’s Bing.com shopping and their astronomical cash back to some sites, can you give us your opinion on their business model and how you plan to compete with them?
Bing is a very different model than any other cash-back site. Their site was built on the idea of searching for a product to get a reward while most other cash-back sites are more of a “mall-based” approach. I think that is a big differentiator in the type of consumer that uses Bing vs. other reward sites
Two of my favorite sites, Fatwallet and Slickdeals, have a vibrant online community. Do you see Mr. Rebates starting a forum for your members?
I believe that Slickdeals and Fatwallet do a great job in their forum approach. We’ve taken some user satisfaction surveys in the past few years and forums have not been a requested feature so it is not something that we are looking to add to Mr. Rebates at this time.
-End of Interview-
I want to thank Craig for the interview. If you shop online, take a few minutes to check out Mr. Rebates.
