What a GREAT Rewards Program!

· by Mr. Me · General · 3 comments

We've been paying for a lot of stuff with our Visa card.  We pay it off every couple of weeks so we never get charged any interest.  The main reason:  we wanted to use the rewards program.

On our vacation, we finally used the reward.  For only five thousand points, we got a $100 travel voucher.

When we saw the charge appear on our credit card, we were quite surprised, actually.  Yes, a CHARGE.

What??

So we used fived thousand points and it COST us $100.  What a GREAT rewards program!

(It's been fixed now.  That's why I can laugh about it.)

    I'll have to keep an eye on that when I cash in my reward points in a couple of months. I got the card I have now specifically because of the rewards. Paying it off every month so I'm not paying any interest, I'll soon be getting $250 free. That is really going to come in handy. :)

    Aaaack! Credit cards and their fine print...

    I'm heavily relying on credit cards at present, and I hates it with a fiery passion... *poof of smoke*

    Better watch it! One of the main differences between rich people and poor people is that poor people pay interest and rich people earn interest.
