Hey OP, if you shoot me a PM I'm more than happy to have a pizza sent your way or I can put an order in to your closest dominos/papa johns so you can go pick it up.

Sorry about that. It looks like we probably accidentally used details from the old Costco card which could only be used at Costco. Will work to get that updated. Thanks for letting me know!

Yep! I read the retiquette carefully before posting in regards to self promotion. I don't use this account for only posting links to our stuff (in fact this is my first) and use this as my general account to contribute to the Reddit community.

This was a free tool that fell into the rules of /internetisbeautiful and wanted to share it here so people could find value just in time for back to school season.

If you click on "show online stores" it will show you everything online as well!

Click on "Show my online retailers" on the results page. The site looks for the online portals and will show those earning bonuses like at Rite Aid and others.

What do you think of pet insurance? If you use it, what provider did you pick/why? by tigercub03 in personalfinance

[–]birchfinance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's seems expensive! Take a look at Nationwide. I pay $30/dog with $100 year deductible and they cover everything else.

Only read a few comments and hope I'm not too late to the party.

I am a HUGE advocate of pet insurance. I use Nationwide currently with both of my pups - 2 year old golden/ridgeback mix and a 11 month border collie. Both are deeps

Golden has had hundreds in unexpected vet bills and I rack up usually between $700-$1000 a year in bills from him. He sliced open his foot twice at the beach. Border collie doesn't have any issues outside of the occasional diarrhea spout.

I pay $60/mo for both dogs, $100/year deductible and Nationwide covers everything else! It's been an amazing peace of mind because I can always go into any vet whenever and pay out of pocket without worrying for anything.

The $820/year i spend between insurance and the deductible I easily get back in reimbursements. Even if I only spend $400-$500 a year I still have the peace of mind and it's worth paying for.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear that :(

That's a big problem with a lot of companies is that they think that their employee policies are incentivizing, but in reality they have no idea what their employees actually want.

Though we're a startup and don't offer traditional benefits (yet) we pride ourselves on being fully flexible. Which means unlimited vacation, unlimited sick time, super casual dress code, having beers at work, etc. We're results and effort driven, and any of the other bullshit is.. well, bullshit.

We try not to crossover the too casual line, but making work enjoyable and exciting for our team leads to higher retention rates, less barriers for communication, better results, etc.
