Use Up Those Fuel Rewards!

125/365 I stopped by the Safeway gas station this afternoon and pulled up to the pump to redeem my fuel rewards before two of them expire tomorrow. When the display informed me I'd be redeeming for 90¢ off per gallon, I quickly cancelled the transaction. I'm not going to lose out on that extra 10¢ (x17 gallons), right? Daddy to the Rescue! Luckily, Bryan needed some things at the store and stopped on his way back from taking Carter to the barber shop. I checked the balance on the Safeway app, and now we have 11 rewards! He must have spent over $30, because we only needed a $27 transaction for the last reward, but there was a just for U coupon for an bonus reward on a $30 purchase.…

Credit Card Shuffle

186/365 I may earn a bonus reward if you use the referral links contained in this article. Thank you for your support! With the beginning of the new month, it's time to reevaluate what's in our wallets. I promise not to break into a cheesy 80s dance like that famous football team, but let me walk you through how I decide what to put at the front of the stack. Chase Freedom This is the one card that most of the other card decisions rest upon since it changes every quarter and Ultimate Rewards are so very valuable. This quarter (April-June, 2019), the categories are grocery stores and home improvement stores.

Huge Gift Card Sale at Kroger Is Over

54/365 This sale has ended. Kroger is having a huge gift card sale this week. Both general and Visa/Mastercard gift cards are included in the 4x Fuel Points promotion, although the terms state that only "participating" cards qualify, so double check before you buy any particular branded card. Discounted Fee Cards Besides garnering you 4x fuel points, Visa and Mastercard cards have a $5 discount on the fee, so you'll only pay 95¢ per card. Paired with 4x fuel points and any rewards you're earning on your credit card, this could be a minimal fee to pay, though there is a limit of 1. Sale on Branded Gift Cards The value of the other gift cards on sale vary depending on your needs. I have my eye on the new Happy…
