I'm a Sucker for "Deals"

I got an email from Discover offering me $25 credit if I spend $25 five times on my Discover card by the end of the month. I bought food, gasoline, and items from Amazon. On Amazon, I have various lists: shopping, computer, cameras, etc. It was easy adding three items from my Shopping list. After checking out, I saw that they would be delivered on separate days, so there wasn't $25 total. I canceled the order. I had to place three more orders before I was able to get one that totaled just over $25. I was careful to make sure the totals did not include sales tax. I have over two weeks to make two more purchases.
Next month, I'll get a $10 statement credit from eBay. I love playing "games" like this.

Did you ever get the credit from Bank of America?

Glad you're going to spend it anyway.
They love getting people who didn't "plan" on spending.

I had forgotten about that, and I had to look in Quicken. It doesn't look like I got anything from them, but that's a lousy organization. I bought wheels and snow tires with no interest till May 2025, so that was okay.
I forget the details of that offer, but they had a "Gotcha!"

I needed some cleaning products and computer/camera items, so I'm all set. It will all arrive on Monday.

I think you are the reason the economy recovered so quickly after the pandemic, Jerry!

...a sale on anything.
I placed my four $25 orders, so I can put the Discover card back into the drawer.

Ah yes. The games we play.
Discovery had the 5% back at restaurants from January to March. Every time I went to a restaurant I used my Discover Card.
I have a Chase/Amazon card so I always get 5% back on Amazon purchases. I check all my CCs for current specials. Last year I put a down payment on our latest car and got 2 or 3% from Pay Pal.
Gotta Look for the deals!
