>> what kind of rewards? >> we're talking about a variety, stuff, so clothes, stuff for the home, travel rewards, basically you get to pick so hotels, airlines. but most people go for the cash money. not always in the form of cash, sometimes in the form of money back for college or money in a savings or investment account for the future. >> i heard you say college, i have two kids, i'm thinking about college, a lot of people will like this part of it. >> the first step is you have to pick a portal to shop through. most people have heard of e-bates but there are hundreds of portals, the way to pick a portal is make a list of the favorite places you shop and go to this web site, cashbackmonitor.com which lays out which portals give you the most money at which stores so for example if you shop at amazon -- as everybody does -- you'll see top rewards is giving you 6%, upromise is giving you 3% but at walmart it's flipped. upromise has the greater rewards

stores you shop and then you want to compare cash back to other rewards because credit cards have portals, airlines have portals, they give you their rewards in terms of points or miles so if you're saving for a new plight, that might be the way to go. >> how often do you want to check? is it every time you shop? >> you want to pick two or three portals, otherwise it gets annoying. >> so we have two blocks down, portals and rewards programs. what's next? >> second block is these rewards programs. at that list, you have to sign up, give them your e-mail address, they send you e-mails so you may want to set up a separate e-mail just for your shopping e-mails and then you don't have to check it all that often and awardwallet.com can help you keep track of when you're getting close to

close to a $25 coupon at bloomingdale's maybe you'll stop there instead of a different department store. the same is true with many airlines so you have those two blocks down. >> okay. and now we're getting to the portals and rewards programs here. pay with a credit card. >> so rewards credit cards are part three. you want to open your wallet and look at what you have there already. different credit cards give you different rewards for different purchases. sometimes you get two points on everything, sometimes you get more money for eating in a restaurant than for travel. there's an app that can help you, it's call ed wallaby, like the kangaroo. it will show you which card to pull out of your wallet. if you don't have rewards credit cards and you want one, go to cardhub.com or nerdwallet.com, pick the best rewards cards for you. but this is not something you do if you don't pay off your cards in full every month. it gets

interest rates, in terms of annual fees because rewards cards cost more. >> they do have higher interest rates? >> they have typically much higher interest rates and the annual fees on these cards can go to hundreds of dollars so you have to make sure you're earning enough back to make it work for you. >> what's our final stacking block here? >> final stacking block is to add a coupon on top of all of these things. so whatever you're shopping for, make sure you have coupons as well, these are all coupon web sites. the one that is not on this web site, if you have an amex in your wallet, amex offers are super coupons for their members so sign on, go to myoffers and you'll find a list of what's there. >> thanks so much. good to see you. tomorrow, ways to make money out of your clutter. and just ahead, zac efron, we'll talk about "baywatch" and his surprising new role. first your local news.

[ laughter ] mine's like a fake refrigerator. but it was still really heavy. but, you know, it was really fun, right here, like just doing pullups next to him was pretty bad ass -- i mean awesome. >> don't worry, we'll fix in the post. this isn't live. tell me a little bit, we want to talk about the movie but we are obsessed with the training regimen because i heard there was this protein drink that was -- do you remember it? it had egg and it was kindof

funky? >> we drank a ton of funny stuff. >> i'm sure you did. >> but it was like, i mean, we would do the classic arnold pumpup just shamelessly. you're coming around your trail er and you have to look like an olympic athlete. >> were you a fan of the old "baywatch." i know your parents said that was a no-no for you to watch at home when you were little. >> i have, like, vague fleeting memories of pamela anderson running through -- >> that stuck with you? >> yeah, that stuck with me. also david hasselhoff, epically saving somebody and arising like poseidon. so i had those flashes but that's really about it. >> what's cool about this is that it's an homage to the original "baywatch" but it didn't seem like you were setting out to copy it entirely. >> that was the point. we had a platform that we

was this amazing world which is "baywatch." it's universely to this day one of the most-watched shows or the most-watched show in the world. it still has the guinness book of world records for that. so when i sat down with dwayne for breakfast he had like a bowl of oat this s this big and he t about 2 way he wanted to revamp it and sort of just turn it on its ear a little bit, make fun of it, amp up the action, make it more relevant to today's audience and that sounded like an amazing idea. >> and we get a couple of cameos, though, right? we get pamela anderson? >> i guess i can say that. >> i think it's public. >> hoda, how could you? >> oh, my god, i think she's going -- and david hasselhoff. >> yeah. >> was that like having royalty on set? >> when they stepped on, everything changed. i couldn't really say anything when pamela anderson was on set. i was talking but words weren't coming out. i was just like what

it was so surreal. it was amazing. >> thanks so much, honey. >> good to see you guys. >> "baywatch" opens nationwide in theaters thursday. up next, emmy winner kyle chandler on what you can expect on the final season of his netflix series but first this is "today" on nbc.

we are back at 8:40 with emmy winner kyle chandler star of the hit netflix series "bloodline." when we last saw kyle's character john rayburn, a dark family secret was closed to being revealed and john is starting to feel the pressure. take a look. >> i did lose my brother and i thought if they -- they had found the man that did it and he was wiped from the face

earth that would make me feel better. >> kyle chandler, good morning. >> good morning, nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you as well. your line in the trailer is "we're not bad people but we did a bad thing." kyle, i watched the show, are you sure john is a good person? >> he's a very good person. the writers of the show when i first met them they said we have an idea for a family, we want to look at it a different way, the whole thing can fall apart, it may not work. i was very excited at that point, i said i'm in. this is a show about a family that has a tremendous amount of dark secrets and throughout the beginning of the whole process as the actor i didn't ask questions and we slowly find out through the seasons it wasn't until the final season that we asked questions i need to know what happened in the last few episodes. >> it's the third and final season. do you feel like you're ready to put a bow on this?

place. i'm not happy it ended but i'm glad it ended where it is because it ended strong. i like that about shows. they don't push too far but they'll ask the audience to want more but it doesn't go too far. i'm proud of. >> it it would be impossible in just a minute or so here to recap and get people ready who haven't seen the first two seasons but for people who are just dialing in, it's on netflix, what is this show about? how do you describe it to people? >> the show is about a family who is loaded down with a tremendous amount of dark secrets and as the show goes on from the very beginning, these secrets are revealed. one thing you have to know about the show is that the creators of the show, the kessler brothers and daniel zellman, they did "damages" before this and "damages" is a show if you watch it there are a lot of reveals and there's a lot of what they do with the editing that makes it very interesting to watch and it's a

they edit. so i can do a scene in episode one and maybe see part of in the episode four. they mix it up doing the story telling so i never know -- watching the final season, i won't know exactly how it came out. we do different scenes in different ways whether we rehearse them in different ways, we act them out in different ways, we don't know what take they'll use so literally the storylines and story can change and we won't know until we view it. >> you starred -- >> does that make sense to you? >> i'm with you, i'm totally with you. so you've done network shows and you've done this netflix show for three seasons. as an actor, is the streaming experience different other than the fact that it all gets released at one time. >> yeah, yeah. it's a complete different -- having grown up the other way. the first show that my wife and i binged was

me around los angeles going to blockbusters to get the cassette so it's a complete different game and a complete different game how people watch it. it's so immediate. the water cooler is empty. so i don't know how that works out now but it's different. >> how often when you walk down the street does somebody look at you and say "clear eyes, full heart"? >> that's the other thing. old shows are constantly around. you can take another show and watch it. it's interesting. >> this show is so good. congratulations on the third season. can't wait to see it when it's released on friday. season three of "bloodlines" streams on netflix. good to see you, kyle. up next, music for your monday morning. rascal flatts is live on your monday morning. but first, this is "today" on nbc.
