The Best Waste of Your Time, Ever.

In case anyone doesn't know, the Chase Freedom card is pretty sweet. You get 3% cash back on all purchases in your top 3 categories (which admittedly I don't usually get much this way because the categories are kinda not what I spend money on), and 1% cash back on everything else. You can cash in at increments of $50.. or you can wait until your rewards balance gets up to $200, at which time they'll send you a check for $250. That's 50 free dollars, which translates as two lapdances, including tip (or maybe just the tip)!



... You could also think of it as 1.25% cash back, but I like to think "free dollars" :-P

You are welcome, Matt.



So, I have revolving credit cards because I max out the rewards for some, or they have different periods of extra moneys back. Well, discover pretty much shafted me with a max of $20 cash back for the quarter. They advertised as 5% on gas purchases. I max that out in like 2 weeks, and was pretty pissed.



Also, if you spend a rediculous amount of money, American Express blue cash was offering 6% after you get to $5,000.



I'll have to check on the citi bank card, b/c last I checked mine was at ~1.5% for everyhthing. If they are offering 4% on gas I need to get in on that.



500miles/week * 1gal/13miles * $4.00/gal * 4weeks/month = $615.385/month



$615.385 * 4% = $24.615/month in savings



admin hax: fixed that for you. if we didn't have complete and thorough dimensional analysis, where would we be?

My AMEX is similar to steven's although you have to spend over $6500 and then you get 5% back on your groceries, gas, etc..



I just read bhicks post which says the same thing. I guess I do spend ridiculous amounts of money
