    Default "Frugal' Splurge

    I need to share this with people who will appreciate it...

    I use my Discover Card for everything & then I get gift cards with the bonus points.
    I turned in $45.00 of my bonus money to get a $50.00 gift card to Red Lobster. Then I got a $10.00 RL coupon in the mail, to be used when I used my Discover Card. DD # 1 and #2 joined me yesterday with the bill coming to $61.00 plus tax. With the gift card & coupon, I charged $4.81 on my Discover Card. What a deal! My daughters were quite impressed. Of course we left a good tip.

    Thats pretty awesome!!

    I was tickled with my paypal card, its linked to my checking account and works like a debit card, except with the protection of a credit card. It gives me 1.5% back on any purchases that I sign for.
