Hustler’s Saving Money Tip of the Day:

One of the things I learn with car insurance is that you can always cancel your policy at any time. There is no early termination fee and you get your money back pro-rated if you pay it full in advance. Since rates are always changing, you can be sure to find a lower price from all the competitors.

It took me less than 5 minutes to find a lower rate by going through online with Netquote. After filling out online, the offers begin to pour in from at least 10 insurance companies. The major companies include Farmers, Allstate, Progressive, Nationwide, and many more. I put in the year and model of my car, along with the type of coverage I would like, and they will email you the best rates. I didn’t put my real phone number because I didn’t want to be bothered with them calling.

Ultimate Top Ten Credit Cards

March 30, 2009 · Filed Under Credit Card bonuses · 1 Comment 

I believe these are the best available credit cards for signing up. The Chase freedom is no longer the same rewards for new cardholders.

  1. Citi Platinum AmEx 3% back – 15k bonus Thank You Points signing up. Get 5% back for supermarkets, drug stores, gas, and 3% for Everything else for two years only. $125 fee waived first year. Great for people using TYP to pay student loans.
  2. Charles Schwab 2% Cash back on all purchases – unlimited 2% cash back with no annual fee. However, you must also open a brokerage account with Charles Schwab since the cash back automatically deposited into a Schwab One brokerage account each month.
  3. HSBC Orchard Bank 2% cash backfor all purchases – also get 3% back for gas. This is a hit or miss since the only one you want is the no annual fee card. If they offer the annual fee card, call them on the phone to cancel and maybe they switch to the no fee one.
  4. Fidelity 2% cash back on all purchases – you must also open a Fidelity MySmartCash account to have your cash back deposit into your account.
  5. Citi Forward 5% back for restaurants – 11K bonus points bonus. Also get 5% back for movies, books, Amazon.com, and bars too. Great to use the TYP for paying student loans.
  6. PenFed 5% cash back for gas – no tier and unlimited 5% cash back for gas. Also 2% for groceries and 1.25% for everything else.
  7. American Express SimplyCash 5% back on wireless service and office supplies – even though it’s a business card, you could still apply by sole proprietorship. Also, 3% cash back on Gas.
  8. Discover More 5% cash back on various categories – $50 bonus after $500 in purchases. The 5% cash back categories change every few months. For examples from April to June is 5% back on department stores, home improvement stores, and clothing stores.
  9. Blue Cash From American Express -5% cash back for everyday purchases(gas, groceries, and drugstores) and 1.5% cash back for everything else after spending $6,500 in purchases. To get to the $6500, order coins from U.S mint Dept.
  10. Costco Business AmEx card – those with a Costco membership, this is a must have card to get 5% back on gas, 3% for restaurants, 2% for travel, and 1% for everything else. Great to combine with Costco executive membership to maximize your cash back for shopping at Costco since they will only take American Express.

Get to 5% Cashback Level Quickly with AmEx Blue Cash

March 27, 2009 · Filed Under Credit Card bonuses · Comment 

I’m told that the Blue Cash From American Express will no longer be available after March 31st. You might consider and sign up the Blue Cash to get 5% cash back for everyday purchases and 1.5% cash back for everything else after spending $6,500 in purchases. For some people who has no trouble of getting to the $6500 in spending, this card gives a higher return that the Chase freedom.

You can however get to the $6500 Tier much quicker with a few methods. You could be ordering coins from the U.S Mint Department for a total of $3000. It’s treated as a purchase and you get cash back from your credit card. Shipping is free so you got nothing to lose. Simply deposit the coins to bank account. I believe they let you order twenty more boxes of coins.

Looking to make $1020 in free money? Check out Virtual Bank. Only a few more referral links, email me for one today!

Here is how you make $1020. You guess it, it is a referral program. For example, email me at hustlermoneyblog@gmail.com to ask for a referral to Virtual bank along with your full name. Once you open up the account through my referral link, you must deposit $100 into your account. You will make $20 and I too will make $20. If you have a blog, great…do exactly what I am doing. If not, in your Virtual bank account, you can send out referral links to 50 of your friends and family. I would ask them first if they want to open up an account before sending.

Pentagon Federal Credit Union 4.99% HEL

March 26, 2009 · Filed Under Bank deals & offers, Street Smarts · 1 Comment 

Those with a home loan greater than 5%, you should seriously consider refinancing your home or get Penfed 4.99% Home Equity Loan for 10 or 20 years. There is no points and no cost for HEL, so you got nothing to lose.  People already with a PenFed home loan, call them to see if you can modify your rate. Many people have reported successfully getting their rate down.

Pentagon Federal Credit Union, or Penfed, is the third largest credit union in the country. With over $9 billion in assets and 714000 members, they offer some of the best Home Equity Loan, Home Equity Line of Credit, and Car Loan rate in the country. The best part is anyone can join!

If you are affiliate in any way with the military, then check this application page. However, people who has no affiliation with the military can become eligible by joining the NMFA association. Joining NMFA will cost you a one time fee of $20. There is no need to renew membership.

Start at your online application page, then join the NMFA and Penfed, and fund your account with $5 via credit card. You will select a PIN number, and then receive a membership number. You will receive all your membership info in three days to your address.

What is so special about PenFed? To start, they are offering 3.99% auto loans on all new and used vehicles. The loan terms can be as long as 72 months for new vehicle. If you are paying anything more than 3.99%, you should join Penfed right away and take advantage of the low rate. This can save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

They are also offering 4.99% APR on Home Equity loans and Home Equity Line of Credit. There are no closing costs and the rate is fixed up to 240 months. If you have high credit card debts, then getting a HEL or HELOC might be the best way to go to save you money. This is not an excuse to spend more than you can afford. Go with my philosophy- Offense on making side income, Defense on everyday expenses.

$100 Starwood American Express Bonus

American Express has always been generous with their Starwood American Express card, because you can get 10,000 bonus points after your first purchase. This is good for a $150 ticket or a $100 Amazon gift certificate. Additionally, there is an extra 15,000 bonus points by spending $15,000 on the card within the first 6 months. The 25,000 points is good enough for a free airline ticket. There is an annual fee, but the fee is waived for the first year. Cancel the card within the first year if you don’t like the annual fee. For those in need of more bonus points, apply for the Business Starwood American Express Card for another 10,000 Starpoints after first purchase.
