Goldline International: Angry Weiner Screams “I Told You So!”

Posted by: Lola Thornton  Posted date: November 12, 2011 in Credit Cards Articles

It’s not hard to imagine him standing on his rooftop in Queens, screaming at the top of his lungs to nobody in particular and to anyone who will listen. Like the scrawny little kid taunting the big bullies on the playground, far enough away so they can’t catch him, but near enough to annoy them, Anthony Weiner must be enjoying his little moment of latent revenge on all of those who dared to cast aspersions on him.

  Goldline International, a favorite sponsor of right-wing radio talk show hosts, and the target of his scorn as a “shameful scammer of ordinary citizens”, was finally indicted on 19 criminal charges including fraud and false advertising.

While the indictment of Goldline International won’t make us soon forget Weiner’s Twitter escapades, it should give us pause when we hear those ubiquitous ads ringing “the-end-of-America-as-we-know it” alarms. Weiner’s investi Read more…

An Introduction to All-Round Credit Cards

Many people think credit cards are something of an either/or situation: you can either find credit cards ideal for balance transfers, or credit cards with a decent interest free period for purchases.

However, it is possible to get a card that offers the best of both worlds in many ways – the all-round credit card. This is a popular and useful type of card that gives the people who use it an introductory interest free period on any balance transfers they might make. It also offers a period of interest free purchases, which means it appeals to a wide range of people.

In terms of the length of the introductory offer, you can often get up to 16 months as part of your balance transfer period, and around 6 months for interest free purchases. A Read more…

Bank Transfer Day: Over 77,000 Strong

Tomorrow, Nov. 5th, is Bank Transfer Day.  I honestly didn’t realize how large a movement this was until I checked out their Facebook page today.

Not only do they have over 40,000 likes, but over 77,000 people have indicated they plan on participating in the event by moving all their money from for-profit banking institutions to not-for-profit local credit unions by tomorrow. That’s a big number!  Credit Union executives must be drooling all over themselves.

So will this movement really affect the big national banks? Sure, they’ll notice the hype, but it’s not like this will bring Bank of America or Wells Fargo to their feet.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans have already been moving their money over the last few months as anger over new debit card and checking account fees stirred the pot.  Meanwhile,

The Roth And The Early Withdrawal Dilemma

0 The Roth And The Early Withdrawal Dilemma

roth iraThere is this early withdrawal penalty with the Roth IRA which your friend just warned you about, Quit worrying. You have to pay a penalty once if you don’t come under the eligibilities which I will be talking about below. For more information regarding the withdrawal issues a visit to roth-ira.org would be recommended.

An investor’s money can be withdrawn without penalty and without having to pay taxes at any time without a reason being needed.

So you will ask me when do I have to pay the penalty?!
let me answer that question for you,

1) If you are lesser than 59 1/2 years old:
If you were born in the month of December, You have to pay the tax according to the year next to your 59th birthday but if you were born in the month of January, You sure do meet the age requirement of the tax rate of the year of your 59th Birthday.

2) If You Don’t Satisfy The 5 Year Rule:
Apart from the age requirement, You need to have had your Roth for 5 years before the time of withdrawal for you to escape from the clutches of the early withdrawal penalty. Read more…

Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Card: 50,000 Bonus is Back!

I reviewed the latest version of the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus credit card just over a month ago.  If you missed it, my main point in that review was if you could manage to wait for a better offer to come along from Southwest later this year, then you should.

Well, I love it when I’m right!

The Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Card is back again with a big 50,000 point bonus for new cardholders, but that’s not all.  The annual fee will remain at $69 this time, instead of the previous $99, making this an even better deal than the one we saw earlier this year before the bonus was cut back to 25,000 points.

So, for those of you that wisely chose to wait for the better deal, it’s here.  I think this is a good as you’re going to see for quite some time.

Here’s a quick review of the most important details:

If you fly Southwest a lot and have just been waiting to jump on the best promotion possible, this is definitely the one to consider finally pulling the trigger on.  I really dou
