OptionsXpress Bonus Not As Income?

by Hustler on February 1, 2010

People who got the $500 bonus from last year OptionsXpress(OX) promo claimed that they are not getting a 1099s for their income tax. Some report that OX is not considering the bonus as income and that the funds are considered a deposit they made on your behalf. If you miss out on the $500 OX bonus, the $100 bonus is still available. Email me hustlerama@gmail.com for an OptionsXpress Bonus.

American Express Premier Gold $150 Bonus

The American Express(R) Premier Rewards Gold Card is currently offering 15000 bonus points = $150 gift cards after $1000 in spending in your first 3 months. You can order coins to fulfill this promotion to do this quickly. This offer is a quick easy way to make $150 bonus. There is no fees for first year, so I would cancel the card before the anniversary if you don’t find it useful.

Offer Details:

  1. Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards bonus points when you spend $1,000 in your first 3 months of Card membership. MR points are very versatile, and can be converted to 15,000 frequent flier miles in a number of programs (or 10 Southwest credits), or you can simply get $150 in gift cards at several stores like Home Depot, Crate & Barrel, or Macy’s. I think you can also get cash equivalents at a reduced ratio.
  2. Offers 3X points on airfare, 2X points on gas and groceries, and 1X points on everything else.
  3. Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards bonus points when you spend $30,000 per calendar year.
