I did receive the $100 bonus on my Capital One 360 Checking account right on time as promised. I have sent it in to be applied to the principal balance reduction!! Ah, I love bonus money. 
One item I put on Ebay has a bid, so it will sell on Sunday night. That just means I'll have less stuff, and less debt because that snowflake is going to the mortgage, too.
I deposited a check into our account yesterday using the mobile feature. In my rush, I indicated the check was for $30, when it was really for $60. Oops! Luckily, the system caught it overnight and my account was adjusted for my error already this morning.
Our taxes on our home are increasing. I knew this would happen. Our home was a new build and valuation and taxes lag behind. I've been saving $300 a month in preparation for this. My calculations show I need to send in $1,654 to meet the banks standards for our escrow account. Our payment will need to increase as well to accommodate the increased taxes. I sent an email to the bank to see if they agree with my calculations and asked them to run the analysis. I'll update you when I hear back.
Did anyone else go for the Capital One checking bonus offered at the beginning of July? If so, did you get your bonus yet?
Capital One Bonus = Snowflake = Less Debt

I just got the physical card for the Bank of America offer (spend $500 get $100), so will expect that one next month (and will allocate that for Christmas spending).
Just wanted to share with you that my son woke up at 3:45 this morning (same time he woke up the previous night which led to ipod time and yesterday's meltdown). He asked if we could use the aromatherapy (lavender pillow spray that my younger daughter had from Bath & Body Works). I sprayed his pillow, tucked him in again, and he slept until 6:45. Thanks for that suggestion. I don't think I would have thought of that myself.
