The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau gets shut down — sources below. If you try to click the CFPB link under Favorites page of Cashback Cow, you will be presented with the following 404 message.
Russell Vought, Trump’s director of Office of Management & Budget and now acting director of the CFPB shuts it down. Vought sent an email Saturday night ordering all employees at the consumer watchdog to stop virtually all work, including fighting financial abuse.
I got the following in my email. I’d use my 175k SYW reward points for a $175 Visa Gift Card — remember to use up quickly as they expire in a few months. These offers are stackable with other relevant offers.
I just added a new calculator to the Calculators page. It is tentatively titled the Costco Gold Profit Calculator. I wrote this calculator in with Pure Technologies in my mind but can be used for other resellers.
Update 2025-01-03. This worked again this year. I repeated the same thing again as I did below. Amex just emailed me and let me know I’ll be getting a $50 credit.

So yesterday I learned from a Profitable Content article that Amex is now giving Amex Business Platinum (ABP) credit card holders a lovely $50 quarterly statement credit on Hilton purchases. (This now makes the ABP truly a free card to have from a frugal minded non-traveler perspective.)
I immediately wondered if I could somehow buy a gift card with it the $50 credit and asked a friend about it on discord. He said he had already very recently done this, purchasing a $50 Hilton gift card with his ABP just the other day.
