So basically I get a free shopping trip there once a year.<br /><br />I wrote about these deals and some tips for financial sanity in my <a href="http://blog.earthlingshandbook.org/2009/09/23/how-credit-cards-work-for-me.aspx" rel="nofollow">article on credit cards</a>.'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976754868946996200.post-71437957633644282032010-11-10T16:23:24.837-06:002010-11-10T16:23:24.837-06:00I love Ebates.

When we traveled over the summer, I logged onto Travelocity.com through Ebates and got $30 back, just for that one click. (I'd already searched around and found that Travelocity had the cheapest deal for our trip.) <br /><br />I did the credit card to save a percentage at Kohl's recently. I got 20% off of clearance clothes by applying for a card and then walked right over and paid it off in cash. :)<br /><br />Swagbucks is awesome too. I've gotten about $60 in free amazon.com gift cards, which are definitely helping to stretch my Christmas budget. :)The Saved Quarterhttp://thesavedquarter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8976754868946996200.post-21903861248464404682010-11-10T15:49:50.189-06:002010-11-10T15:49:50.189-06:00My husband and I were talking about getting a Targ...My husband and I were talking about getting a Target card again just because of that 5% off thing. If I can pay it right on line, without waiting for the bill to come in, I'll probably do it. We shop at Target all the time and with the holidays coming up this could save us quite a bit of money. Thanks for the review!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.com
