- CA_TravelerExplorer IIIYes those that don't watch it pay for my reduced costs! As in buy it today and pay sometime down the road.
- DanNJaniceExplorerWatch it!
Companies don't create these "gifts" because they are nice guys. They do it because there is some catch, where a consumer who does not read the fine print ends up paying more than the gift is worth.
Airline credit cards with high interest rates and annual fees are a good example, so are most "big bank" cash back credit cards. If you don't pay these cards off in full every month and cancel them before the annual fees kick in, you are probably losing money. - CA_TravelerExplorer IIIYes 2X gift cards are great and we get them for HD, Lowes etc. Plus our antennas really go up when they have 4X cards which we purchase at the holidays for the GCs. All charged on our cash back CCs of course.
Typically when we ask the store about points for alcohol their eyes glaze over... - bobsallyhExplorer IIYes, that Kroger deal is great. When we are in Yuma, AZ. for the winter, Fry's will sometimes have a weekend where you get 4 X the points on gift card purchases. So we get some for Appleby's. Also in Arizona at the Yuma Fry's beer and alcohol purchases also add on to the points. Haven't seen that in other states, sure works for us.
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIIt's a good program
1 fuel point per $1 spent......1000 fuels points for $1 off per gallon
Buy a Gift Card and 2X the points......$25 Gift Card/50 points
Also can take a weekly survey and get 50 points.
4 surveys-----200 points
4 $100 Gift Cards.....800 points
1000 points for only $400
And they also run 'specials' on summer weekends.......4X the points
Our local Fry's Diesel is $2.15/gallon. ($1.15 w/discount!!) - Go_DogsExplorerYup, I always try to stretch my dollars. I use Mr. Rebates for online purchases, too.
