The Problem with Overdraft Fees
by Paul Sisolak @ Chime Banking
Tue Mar 20 02:52:00 PDT 2018
“Overdraft” is not a word we like to hear. Why? It generally means you’ll be dinged with a fee you don’t want to pay. To clarify, an overdraft fee occurs when you don’t have enough money in your bank account to pay for a purchase. When this happens, your bank will pay for the transaction […]

How to Use Bluebird "Pay Bills" to Pay Rent, Mortgage, Credit Cards, Utilities, College Tuition, etc. | Million Mile Secrets
Million Mile Secrets
Don't forget to follow me on Facebook or Twitter! As I wrote yesterday, one of the best uses of American Express Bluebird is the ability to pay for transactions which can't usually be made with a miles or points earning credit card. You load your Bluebird card (which you can order online) with a points earning debit card at Wal-Mart. You can also reload Bluebird with Vanilla Reload cards which you can buy at CVS, Walgreen's or other locations. Alternate with other credit cards so that you're not spending too much at buying Vanilla Reloads with any one credit card. Here's a post on other credit cards to use with Bluebird, so that you're not maxing out on just 1 card. You may also be able to pay for the Vanilla Reloads with a credit card at Walgreen's, but this isn't always the case and could be a bit of wild goose chase. Here's a post on what a Vanilla Reload looks like and how to load a Vanilla Reload card to your Bluebird account. Bluebird Pay Bills This is a great way to
