$75 Bank of America Account Bonus Update
Sep 10th
It has come to my attention that in order to take advantage of the $75 account opening bonus from Bank of America I wrote about a couple weeks ago you must first have a BofA credit card. I wasn’t aware of the requirement because I already have a credit card through them.
If you would like to take advantage of the free $75 bonus, but don’t have a credit card through Bank of America, you can visit my Instant Credit website and apply for one today and then after your approval get signed up for your checking account and bonus (offer code CH75OLL).
I would highly recommend the Bank of America Rewards American Express Card. I was approved instantly for this card with a $15,000 line of credit and 0% APR on balance transfers for 12 months as well as a low 9.99% fixed rate after the promotional period and no annual fee.

I highly recommend you join and start earning toward a great prize for yourself too!

Get $75 and Free Checking From Bank of America
Aug 27th
Bank of America is running an online special for a limited time when you open a MyAccess Checking Account. The great benefit of this promotion is not only the $75 bonus for opening the account, but also that they waive the direct deposit requirement so you are able to avoid the $5.95 per month maintenance fee as well. This makes the account completely free to open and use.
Simply deposit a minimum of $25 into your new MyAccess Checking account within the first 30 days and you will have $75 credited into your account within 90 days.
To get started simply go to Bank of America and select the MyAccess Checking Account link. On the second page where you are asked which type of accounts you would like to open, make sure you put “CH75OLL” in the Offer Code box. Now just continue through the process of setting up your account and be sure to let me know when you get your $75!
Note: I am not receiving a referral fee of any kind for this offer. I simply want to help you find a great deal!

VistaPrint is offering a great coupon code for Address Labels that will give you 50% off your purchase. Currently prices for the labels are as low as $7.99 for 140, so you’d only pay $3.99 for those when you use coupon code: Labels50.

Performancing Ads
Aug 8th
I have added a new advertising option on Shaun Carter dot Com, and removed a few others. Due to low earnings I have removed Kontera and the Peel Away ad. I thought they just cluttered up the site and they didn’t bring in much in the way of revenue.
The new Performancing ads widget is working on the sidebar and I have two 125×125 ads available for only $2.50 per week. Performancing Ads also allows you to use that space to advertise simple text links.
For any new Performancing advertisers on Shaun Carter dot Com I’ll throw in a free promotional post about your site. Currently, Performancing Ads is offering new advertisers $25 off a purchase of $100 worth of advertising within any combination of publisher’s sites.
Also, for any new publishers who want to sign up to the Performancing Ads service, just sign up through this link and I will buy $5 worth of ads on your site guaranteed! And who knows, if your site brings in visitors I may just keep advertising with you for good.
Just send an e-mail to shaun (at) shauncarter.com after you’ve signed up and I’ll place my ad with you.

Earn Swag Bucks For Searching
Aug 4th
I have come across a cool service via Everclear’s MySpace page, it’s called Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks allows you to sign up and earn their online currency just for searching using their website or browser add-on.
The best part is that the search results are that of Google and Ask.com, so the websites displayed are relevent. You also have the ability to brand your Swag Search with a variety of different musicians including Maroon 5, Akon, Sum 41 and more. Each artisit offers their own special prizes that you can buy with your Swag Bucks earned from their respective search site. I am saving up for an autographed Everclear picture right now.
You can also earn Swag Bucks by referring your friends, shopping at many online merchants in the Swag Store and even by recycling your old cell phone or mp3 player. There is currently a contest running for a Nintendo Wii sponsored by VPgames.com and every Swag Buck you earn gets you an entry until September 15.
I just signed up and already have 11 Swag Bucks!

Credit Cards Club – Credit Card Ratings and Reviews
May 27th
I’ve come across a really great credit card comparison website recently called CreditCardsClub.com. The website makes it easy for you to shop for a new credit card on your own terms rather than settling for the unsolicited offers that come to you through the mail.
The cards are divided into multiple categories such as, 0% intro apr card, cash back credit card, balance transfer cards, low interest rate, student cards, business cards and no annual fees.
Credit Cards Club also holds a wealth of information in the form of articles about how to choose a credit card, FICO scores, credit repair and using credit cards in your business.
According to their website, Credit Cards Club has been around since 2004 and currently has a very nice, clean design that is easy to navigate and explore no matter whether you are a first time credit seeker or a seasoned veteran.
Despite the struggling US economy and tightening credit standards, there appears to be a significant number of cards available that are offering 12 months of 0% financing for balance transfers and new purchases. This could prove to be a big money saver for those of you out there carrying high-interest credit card debt. Moving those balances to a card with no interest charges can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars and get your debt paid off very quickly.
Check out the cards available at CreditCardsClub.com
