Effective September 1st, 2008, Amazon Post-Order Price Guarantee is gone! If you have never heard Amazon Post-Order Price Guarantee, please check this post. This change means you can no longer request a refund if prices change on Amzon’s website within 30 days after you make a purchase.

Below is the e-mail that Amazon sent to some of its customers:

“Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase.”

Of course, everybody knows tomorrow (4/15) is the deadline that you need to file your 2007 tax return. If you are busy or lazy and cannot file your tax return by tomorrow, you have to file a tax extension using form 4868. Although you can do this manually and send it to IRS by mail, the fastest and easiest way to do it is to file it online using e-file service provided a 3rd party company.

While most such 3rd party companies charge you a fee from $9.95 and above, TaxAct provide the service to e-file your tax extension for FREE. If you have never used TaxAct before, here’s the quick steps to start:

1. Visit TaxACT Online to sign up an account.
2. After you login, click on Step 6 from top menu, then choose File an Extension from the dropdown list menu.
3. Just click on Complete Form 4868 to start the process. It’s pretty easy and straightforward. If you owe tax to IRS, you can pay it electronically too.

If you are an existing TaxACT customer, you can just login to your account and follow the steps above to start.

You will receive an e-mail confirmation from TaxACT after you submit your file. So, do not forget to provide your e-mail address in the last step before you submit your file extension. You can also check the status of the filling at TaxACT website by providing your social security number and Federal Refund Amount/Amount Owed.

Just two months ago, we posted a deal from low-cost carrier Skybus: Skybus Airlines: One-way flights for $10. Unfortunately, Skybus announced on Friday (4/4/08) night that it would cease operations on Saturday, April 5. You can read the original report from MSNBC here.

According to the report, if you have made any reservations for flights on or after Saturday, you should call your credit card company for a refund.
