I also saw this on Ben’s Bargains: American Express SimplyCashSM<\/sup> Business Card<\/a> – Earn 5% cash back on gas, office supplies, and wireless services.<\/strong> Earn 1% cash back on virtually all other purchases.

However, it still sounds like an awesome rewards card. 5% back on gas, office supplies and wireless services.<\/p>\n

I personally won’t be getting this card because I already have an Advanta Mastercard<\/a> which already gives me 5% back on gasoline, office supplies, utilities, computer equipment, cell phones and Internet services<\/em>. Mastercard is also more widely accepted. Both require you to have a “small business”, but an easily overcomable obstacle.<\/p>\n

There is one good thing about this cash back is that it’s automatically deducted from your next statement. No more saving up to $50 before you can request your cash back.<\/p>\n

Got this email a few days ago:<\/p>\n

Your HSBC Direct Online Savings Account gives New Money 6.00% APY* until April 30. So if you have money elsewhere, it\u2019s time to move it and make the most of your savings. <\/p>\n

During the New Money promotion, deposits from outside of HSBC earn a market-leading 6.00% APY*. That\u2019s 11 times what traditional savings accounts offer.** And checking accounts obviously can\u2019t compare. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no reason to leave your cash lying around anywhere else. Log on to move your money into your HSBC Direct account now, and earn 6.00% APY* for as many days as you can until April 30. <\/p>\n

Sigh… This was exactly what ING Direct pulled which made me decide to switch to HSBC Direct<\/a>. Then again, at that time, ING Direct wasn’t the one with the highest interest rate. Guess I could stick with HSBC Direct awhile longer, though unfortunately I won’t be able to take advantage of the 6.00% interest as I’m planning some big purchases this month and will be pulling money out of there.<\/p>\n

\nOR
\nSamsung 67″ 1080P DLP\u00ae HDTV w\/ Stand<\/a> for $2500<\/p>\n

Dryer: (my current one takes like 4hrs to dry a load)
\nWhirlpool Electric Dryer Super Capacity 6.5 CuFt 6 Cycles<\/a> for $360<\/p>\n

Exercise bike: (thought I’d exercise while watching my brand new HDTV)
\nEverlast Recumbent Bike<\/a> for $350
\nOR
\nEverlast Upright Exercise Bike<\/a> for $350<\/p>\n

Media Center PC – I’m looking at about $1,000. I’m slowly getting parts. Plus my main box is also due for an upgrade, so maybe $2,000 here? Sigh… I’m going broke. Guess this is my belated Christmas and birthday presents to myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
