05/03 - Finally Friday!

Still use it on Amazon though which is what gets everyone butthurt about the system anyway (as far as mturk is concerned) right? I wouldn't think amazon is 3rd party

Though I admit I haven't read the email and am only commenting on the headline.

 

>Funds in your Amazon Payments account may still be used for purchases on www.amazon.com

Ripppp I was hoping that this meant that it would remove that bullshit. Having to uncheck that is annoying.

 

Our goal is to have a decent boat by next summer (suck it @ChrisTurk ) and we'll definitely be doing more lake days. Since my truck is paying off in september, we can get a modest one and have it tip top shape by next summer. Totally excited about that!

This is why I said "almost" instead of "absolutely."

What type of boat are you going to get? a ski and fish, Pontoon, Wakeboard, etc?

 

I also hate having to uncheck when they ask if I want to use the points I earned on my amazon credit card. Always better to use those points to go to statement balance, because you don't earn 5% on purchases made using points.

 

You can withdraw it to your bank account for free as well. I go with that instead.

 

Do you have Amazon's card? I only get (I think?) 2% back on amazon crap but don't order much off there anymore to make it worth getting their spy chip :s

 

if you're ok with the hard pull - sign up. 5 percent on all amazon purchases. They also have sign-up bonuses, but not sure if there's one currently. I got a free echo dot when I signed up

Yes I have chase's amazon prime card.

Amusingly there is another amazon prime card that most people don't know about https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07984JN3L/?tag=thtv02-20

You can also get 5%+ value from various other credit cards through amazon but amazon is a flat 5% so that is nice.

I think that they give you a $100 gift card when you are accepted or some shit.
