Jewelery shops have been on my mind recently and I’m happy to see a way to save some money when I make my purchases. According to the New York Times yesterday, Jewelery retailers are looking for ways to reduce costs and one of those ways is to have people use methods of payment besides credit and debit cards. Goodbye Visa, hello Paypal and Google Checkout!
Starting Nov. 26, customers who buy with PayPal will save 20 percent on their purchases, with a maximum discount of $50.
I’m going to try it since it is just as convenient for me to pay with PayPal as it is to use my debit card. It’s a win-win situation for the retailer and for me! Let me know in the comments if you have other tips for saving money using the web and new banking technology.
evan, does that mean you are shopping for something special??
thanks for the postcard! i LOVE cindy sherman. she rocks. what’s good, as my kids say?
Saving money is always good! I love Paypal. And, yes…let’s expound on the interest in jewelry shops as of late…
Just because I am looking at certain jewelry stores it means something special is about to happen? What, a guy just can’t go shopping for some jewelry? Haha, OK details to come…
nope, you can’t just go shopping for some jewelry without a special reason. :-) looking forward to those details.
