AT&T mobile insurance vs AT&T mobile protection pack

Leave a comment

If you are buying a phone from AT&T online, you will likely be prompted to choose one of the following: My question was: what exactly is the difference between “mobile insurance” and “mobile protection pack”. The answer is, not much.

GoDaddy changes manual renewal to auto-renewal. Lame.

Leave a comment

GoDaddy: “Unless you have specifically selected the manual renewal option, your purchase includes enrollment in our automatic renewal service” This domain was set to manual renewal and I did not even notice an option during the checkout process to “keep” it that way, instead GoDaddy automatically set it to automatic renewal 🙁 I am not a fan of that.

PayPal Extras Mastercard Review

Leave a comment

I saw the PayPal splash page advertising their ‘PayPal Extra MasterCard‘ and I thought I would check it out a little more. It sounds good: 3% on gas and restaurants 2% on eBay/PayPal 1% on other stuff However, a little closer reading shows some serious shortcomings: -Each ‘point’ is really only worth .83 of what you would normally think of as a point. For example, with most cards if you get a 100 points it is worth $1. With this card

I have been a longtime Chase customer but unfortunately they do not have ANY ATMs or branches around here. Deposit by mail can be pretty handy but the problem with that is that I often run out of deposit slips. The last time I checked the box on their deposit envelope for them to mail me more they sent me one deposit slip 🙁 [NOTE: PRINTABLE DEPOSIT SLIP REMOVED, TO BE UPDATED WITH REVISED VERSION. -2016_09_10] I have printed these and
