MyAccess checking will require direct deposit or a $1000 minimum balance to avoid a $8.95 monthly fee. Also Bank of America accounts are subject to up to ten independent $35 overdraft charges per day under certain circumstances.

Google Voice is coming soon. Despite recent worries that Google may decide not to continue serving Grand Central users, Google recently announced that you can sign up for Google Voice “in a matter of weeks” and, like before, “the service is free.”
Thu, March, 12, 2009 at 10:17 AM | Jason Ishibashi A GREAT service based on technology gained in the purchase of Grand Central. You get one number and it will ring ALL your phones (you choose which ones). Read below to see exactly what Google Voice can do!
Mon, November, 3, 2008 at 03:41 PM | Jason Ishibashi Let’s get a few quick and dirty things out of the way. Consider these The Penguin’s Golden Rules of Car Buying. 1. Buying a car is a game 2. Very few people like to play 3. Those that like to play, play it well 4. Unfortunately, those that like to play usually do the selling 5. You need to be armed with knowledge and patience to win in the game 6. Be true to YOURSELF and no one else 7. Look at three (no more, no less) vehicles in detail 8. You will feel like an ASSHOLE 9. Just Say No! 10. Don’t sign until you’re done you’ve won 11. Objective: Walk away a winner
Wed, October, 1, 2008 at 03:01 PM | Jason Ishibashi Let’s look at the headline - “Time To Panic” - I know they want to sell magazines and that headline did succeed in making me click on the article, but one could really make the argument that in the RSS / FeedBurner / Headline only society there is a social responsibility not to make such outlandish statements.
Tue, September, 30, 2008 at 10:30 AM | Jason Ishibashi Qustions: “What’s happened?” “Who can I blame?” “Why is the government spending my money to bail out the Wall Street fat cats?” I could spend lots of time answering these questions (and I might below) but the reality is that these questions are totally irrelevant. It’s good to look back to AVOID our mistakes, but this is the time to move forward not look back.
Tue, September, 30, 2008 at 09:38 AM | Jason Ishibashi No really. Please. Stop it. The media is TERRIBLE at choosing stocks or even predicting the market (a serious consideration to those of you who want to or even think they can time the market). Let’s look at a bunch of notable examples:
Thu, April, 3, 2008 at 09:46 AM | Jason Ishibashi If you have an American Express card, check out http://museumormovie.com/ If you use any American Express Card at participating merchants between April 1 and May 31 and file some paperwork, you can get 4 complementary tickets to either a movie (AMC, CineMark, Regal) or a nearby museum via first class mail.
Just save your receipts from your purchase and file the requisite form FOR THOSE IN THE WESTERN/CENTRAL US DEL TACO IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST. Simply go to Del Taco 3 times and fill out the form and send in the receipts. Del Taco Form.
Thu, April, 3, 2008 at 09:41 AM | Jason Ishibashi If there's any lesson to be learned about Aloha Airlines wrapping up business and shuttering operations, it's that you should buy your tickets with a credit card. Why?
Let's say you paid cash, check, or debit for your ticket. Your money is gone - out of your bank account forever... at least until you file your claim with bankruptcy court. So maybe a year later you might get your money back... or maybe just a portion of it depending on how the repayment proceedings go.
Now a credit card... all you have to do is contact your credit card company and voila. You get a credit on your statement. The credit card company now has to file in bankruptcy court to get their money back, but YOU don't have to worry about a thing.
