What's the quickest money you've made? For me, the $1,110 Citibank posted to my credit card account last week should qualify. Back in March, I shared in this blog that Citibank was inviting me to pay down my $40,000-strong credit card balance from multiple 0% APR balance transfer offers. Citi promised a cash reward of 10% of extra payments I would make that exceeds minimal payments, up to $550 per card. The program, called Payment Partner, is designed to encourage people with spotty credit to pay down the debt to avoid future loss on Citi's part, and for some reasons, I was classified as a credit risk. I guess it is God's blessing that I opened Citi's letter the day the offer was going to expire -- due to my overseas assignment, I only have access to my mailbox every time I travel to Seattle. You know the rest from this blog: I called to sign up for the offer, made the extra payments, and several months later, I'm $1,100 richer, all for only 10 minutes of work! READ FULL POST ...
