No 5% Bonus For Me!!

In yesterday’s post I wrote about my current debt and about a recent buy that I made this past weekend. I am very happy with what I bought but a few days later I have to admit that I was kicking myself just for being my complacent self. You see, I was checking the Discover site checking my balance and when I was done with that I clicked on the Shop Discover tab and lo and behold if I had used one of the retailers listed I would have earned a nice 5% cash back bonus for buying the exact same thing. I used another retailer and although I earned points, I used my American Express, cash back would have been a lot better the way things are right now. I am over it now because lets face it, it’s over and done with so I am moving on knowing full well that next time I have to buy something I am going to shop around.
