Monetary Updates

February 6th, 2012 at 09:43 pm

All good news in the money update department!

We received our $160 rebate check in the mail for the tires we purchased on the van. It's in DH name, so I will have him sign it when he is home in a couple weeks. Technically, I could sign, since I have power of attorney, but the less I use that the better. I'm just glad it finally arrived.

I have redeemed Swagbucks for three $5 Amazon.com gift cards in the last two days. I've been racking up the points pretty fast. And just now, I received notification that the $25 Amazon gift card has posted to my account. Right now, I have $50 I could use right away! But I wont...since I'm saving them for Christmas.

I did sell the item I listed on ebay last week, with the Buy It Now option. This was the item that had a non paying bidder a couple weeks ago. I net $9.80 on the sale, which will go the Christmas Fund Challenge.

I think I also received another Pinecone survey payment that I didn't mention here previously. I have $6 from them since the beginning of the month. That I know for sure!

I checked our credit reports with TransUnion this weekend. All was good there. I check one of the agencies every four months. Since there are three credit reporting agencies, it results in a free report every time. DH thought it might be a good idea to check our girls credit reports too. Technically, they shouldn't have a report, unless there is fraud. It's on my list of things to do.

I'm hoping our tax refund actually arrives tomorrow. It is already late by 5 days, since the IRS wanted to run fraud check on the early returns. Tomorrow is the now expected date.

Are things good in your financial world?

    Can't you just deposit the check without a signature? I do it often and they never have a problem with it. If I wanted to cash it that would be a different story, but just depositing it into our joint account they do all the time. Of course I use credit unions, but it wouldn't hurt to ask your financial institution.

    I was going to ask the same thing...when my mom wasn't able to write, the bank told me all I had to do was write "for deposit only" on the check that was to be deposited in her account and it would go through.

    I'm sure you are both right. Since it less than two weeks from his arrival home, I'm leaving it as is. I think you are right about the for deposit only...but the online bank we use states it needs a signature.

    WTG with the SBs! Knowing that I could earn 50 SBs a day with the SB app on an android powered tablet/phone has me itching to get a Kindle Fire - esp. since right now it is on auto play. But I'm resisting ..

    How many Vday Bucks have you got so far? I've won two, 15 and 9.

    @FT, I only have one Vday buck so far..number 7. But I had two search wins today. Hoping for one more before the night is over.
