Earn 2% Cash Back On All Discover Purchases During Your Birth Month
Discover just sent me an email detailing the birth month promotion that they are running. I am not sure how long this has been going on but it is the first time I am seeing it so I signed up immediately. They will be offering 2% on all purchases up to $500 during the month of your birth…which is not a bad deal.
I already use Discover for most purchases and had planned on using it for gas since this is the extra cash back month for gas as well. I will just have to make a better effort to use the Discover card during my birth month to get all the rewards that I possibly can.

So I have a Chase Freedom card that offered cash back and the most exciting part of that was I was able to redeem 200 cash rewards for a $250 check. I used to get:
3% cash back on my top five spending categories and
1% cash back on all purchases.
That meant I was getting a BONUS $50 because all the other redemption points were at a rate of 1 to 1 as follows:
redeem 10 cash rewards for a $10 check
redeem 50 cash rewards for a $50 check OR
redeem 200 cash rewards for $250 check

I used to know the due dates for my credit card payments back in the old days before I started blogging. I used to wait for the bill to come in the mail and then whip out the trusty old checkbook and write out a check. Then I used to put the check and the payment coupon in the envelope and hunt around for a stamp……walk over to the mailbox and send off the payment.
