What is Delta Skymiles? When you get 25K Skymiles, you get a free roundtrip on Delta Airline. Simply enter your Skymiles account number through this link. The link works for me, but it might not work for everyone.

If the above link doesn’t work, you still might get the bonus skymiles through the links below:

I got my Skymiles Account number by signing up these two American Express credit cards. By signing up, you will get 30000 bonus Skymiles. There is no annual fee the first year, so you can think of it as a free roundtrip.

My Shopping Methods: Hustler Style

April 28, 2007 · Filed Under About Me · 1 Comment 

If you have been a longtime reader of this site, you know how I shop. It’s usually consist a combination the followings: The item is already on sale, add that with a coupon, then find another coupon to stack on top of that, go through ebates shopping portal to get cash back, then see if I can call in to pricematch, throw a rebate along with it, pay with a cashback credit card or gift cards I bought for 20% off, then see if I can add some freebies along with it.

You might find this not worth your time; unless you call this a hobby. I find getting the most out of my dollar to be a challenge. Here is the latest hustle:

  1. Buy a Staples $50 off 200 coupon and 2x$3 ink coupons on eBay
  2. Drive to your local Staples, and use their Kiosk to search for this Acer Al 1926W 19″ LCD
  3. Add the sale item for $150, then add Digital image SKU# 656213 (FAR) and fillers, then use the $50 coupon, then add ink coupons
  4. Pay at the cashier with this 12% coupon
  5. Pay items using gift cards for 20% off at mybuysmart.com or dealpass.com
  6. If not, use a cash back credit card along with your Staples Member Rewards card.
  7. Fill out all rebates.

That, my friend, is how you turn a $230 item into $50. Yes, I know most people won’t go through with this, and it is a big YMMV. Don’t forget, this is HustlerMoneyBlog!

Below is a paid advertisement written by Glenn. For pricing information on advertisement, you can go here:

Finweb.com gives you good financial information

Looking for a website where you can get all kinds of good financial information? Then try Financial Web. This portal is designed to be a “one-stop knowledge base” to educate the reader on all things financial. It’s a commonly known fact that most people waste more money than necessary because they lack specific knowledge about whatever it is they’re buying. This website, which doesn’t sell anything, offers free information, tips, and tools to enrich your financial well-being.

For example, if you’ve had credit problems (like so many of us) and need repair or rebuilding help, they have information to teach you how, even what to look for in a bad-credit credit card. Searching for a cash advance loan? They’ll help you find the cheapest ones on the Net. If you’re looking for information about mortgage refinancing (and with the state of the current housing market, it’s wise to learn all you can), this site includes an extensive section in that area. Even Forex trading and other investment interests and financial news are covered.

So if you need solid, balanced, and unbiased financial wisdom, check out Financial Web. You’ll likely find all the info you need there.
