A new way to manufacture spend using USAA!

EDIT: THE MODERATOR AT SAVEROCITY HAS ASKED ME NOT TO EMAIL YOU, AND SINCE THAT’S WHERE I GOT THE TRICK, I WILL OF COURSE COMPLY. PLEASE SIGN UP AT THE SAVEROCITY FORUMS TO ACCESS IT, AS I AM NOT GOING TO INDEPENDENTLY REVEAL IT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MIX-UP.

 

We all know how awesome and terrifically user-friendly USAA is as a bank, so I feel as though a review would be superfluous for most people. However, I just discovered a new way to manufacture spend using USAA. However, I learned it not independently, but through a forum.

For those of you into manufactured spending, credit card churning, or just personal finance hacks, I cannot recommend enough the Saverocity Forums. (In full disclosure, I have another website there, called Military Finance). Just shoot Matt an email, and you’ll get signed up.

 

Probably the most robust subforum with the forums is the manufactured spend one. Just today I was browsing, and found an ingenious way to manufacture spend, using Paypal and USAA.

In the name of good stewardship, I’m not going to post the trick publically here, because I did not independently discover it, and don’t want to ruin it. To get you the info, I recommend one of two things: either sign up for the forums and discover it there, or post a comment below, and I’ll email everyone that responds within 72 hours.

 

Two requirements: you must be a USAA member, and you must be a Paypal member.

    1. @ Ken – If you have a relative in the military, you will qualify. This can even be if your father or grandfather served.

  34. Good morning,
    You are making everybody very curios and we really appreciate the fact that you are not posting it rather sending it personally, It may actually last for a few months if no one else blogs about it.

  48. After the demise of Bluebird I’m looking for something new. I’d appreciate it if you could email me the link. Thanks!

  54. …or you could, ya know, actually adhere to the terms of the forum and NOT troll things like this publicly.

  91. Hey Folks,

    You are all welcome to join the forum, the only rules that we have are:

    Be nice, it is supposed to be a helpful environment.
    Don’t discuss what you learn on the forum outside of the forum (on blogs or other sites, or via email…)

    The idea is we are trying to cultivate a safe place to share ideas that won’t then go on to get published on places like BoardingArea etc…

    So, thanks for the shout out in this post, and anyone who is interested please come on by, but this post does kinda violate rule number 2 🙂

  100. there is wrong info being posted about becoming a member. If you served you can become a member. then your family can become a member if you did. Just because your parent served DOES NOT make you eligible. They had to have been a member. My dad served but he wasn’t a USAA member so I cannot qualify. But since my husband was serving we became members. Now my son can become one. By the way my husband works for USAA. So membership can be passed on.

  121. I am both a USAA and Paypal member. I am interested in finding out more information on this. Thank you.

  143. Please since I cannot find on the forums. Must be looking in wrong places but even a search for USAA provides nothing really related.

  146. I can’t even say how bad of form it is, to take something that you did not find on your own, and blast it publicly without the other person’s permission. It’s disappointing.

  183. I know I am outside the 72 hr disclosure window, but I would be interested in this information. Thanks.

  192. I’m a member of both and would also like to hear about this trick; I’ve not been able to find it on Saverocity (and think I’ve read just about every page!)

  195. Is this method still alive or just went deep underground? Tried to get level 2 access on the other forum with no luck. Im new to the game somebody throw me a bone please!

  196. This is Andy. This method died last month. Paypal killed it when they started closing accounts that had been purchasing MyCash cards. They closed my account with almost $1k still in it, and said I can’t get my money back for 180 days…highway robbery. I am not using Paypal again for anything, they’re a worthless company.
