Send Money Online With Credit Cards Through Moneygram
I have been using MoneyGram to send money every now and then to family members who are outside of the country. I liked the program because once you register online you can receive a discount on the fee every time you send money.
I had not sent money in a little while but last week I needed to send some money in a hurry. I would have had to transfer the money from my ING savings account into a local account and then withdraw it to take cash to MoneyGram. This would take me a few days and my relative was really in a hurry so I wondered if I could do it online instead.

Discover Brings Back Secure Online Account Numbers!
Discover card has announced that they are bringing back the secure online account numbers and if I could do a backflip I would do one right now. For those who not know, the secure account number is a number generated by Discover that you can use for one merchant when you shop online.

Earn 2% Cash Back On All Discover Purchases During Your Birth Month
Discover just sent me an email detailing the birth month promotion that they are running. I am not sure how long this has been going on but it is the first time I am seeing it so I signed up immediately. They will be offering 2% on all purchases up to $500 during the month of your birth…which is not a bad deal.
I already use Discover for most purchases and had planned on using it for gas since this is the extra cash back month for gas as well. I will just have to make a better effort to use the Discover card during my birth month to get all the rewards that I possibly can.
Sign Up For 5% Cash Back From Discover
Remember to log in to your Discover card account to sign up for the extra 5% cash back. From July through September you can earn 5% on purchases on the following categories:
-Gas
-Hotels
-Movies
-Theme parks
All other purchases earn the normal rate so this is a great chance to earn some more cash back for the things you would normally purchase. Remember that you can only earn up to $300 back on your purchases but with the price of gas so high that should not be a problem.

Can You Live Without Debt Or Credit?
I saw this post over at My Money Tree blog and it got me thinking. Yes I can definitely live without debt or credit….but I don’t want to. Now that I am free of credit card debt I actually take joy in putting my purchases on my credit card, knowing that I earn 1%-3% interest on every purchase.
The writer says that people who purchase with credit cards are generally sending their money over to pay interest on those purchases…but this is not always the case and it certainly is not the case in my circumstances. I pay off my credit in card in full every month so I NEVER pay the credit card company any interest. I earn cash back on my purchases which I can get back
