Almost done with work...sort of surreal.
Got a call from new place; tentative start date is September 28th so two weeks of vacation and they will pay me $2.50 more an hour than this job. I think I'm good. 
Quicksilver $10,000 | Better Balance Rewards $2000 | Sallie Mae $3500 | Freedom $3500
That is just wonderful, Callandra. I am so very glad for you. Make it a mantra to say every night that you are drifting off to sleep: "I look forward to my new job." Then after you start your new job: "My job is great." It is surprising what a strong effect affirmations have on us.
Have a great two weeks off!!!
This forum has completely ruined me lol I want a maxi climber. Had this been early 2014 I would have found it in under five minutes, paid with my debit card and gone on with my day. But nooooo. Now I have to see if I can get 5% or more through a Discover Deal. Of course I can! 
Then I have to decide which company I want to use the deal with. Think Wal-Mart wins this one. All this work to get about $22 in cash back. What a life

I will get us started. I fall into the hoarding points category... For someone reason, instead of using them I try to wait to see how much I can accrue for a year.... Lets hear your thoughta..
I’m a stacker. Whenever possible I combine reward and/or discount opportunities to maximize the money going back into my pocket. I always try to use a portal when shopping online. Of course, not every store offers bonuses through portals, but I always check. I’m on the lookout for coupons, discounts, sales and deals. Cashback Monitor, Deal News, Slick Deals and a few others get a workout on my browser! I keep a bonus tracker spreadsheet to record my purchase details in case something fails to post correctly.

Hi fellow gardeners,
I will be spending the next year in the garden FOREAL...I need to update my signature soon. I joined myFico two years ago and my score was 585, thanks to the forum's advice, I was able to get all the way up to 711 in May 2014, proceeded to open and max out over 50k in revolving credit and now I am sitting at 577. What a ride! Now it is garden and pay down time. Keep me encouraged.

Hey everyone! Checking in for the month.
I just reach my 9 months no app status and earned myself a beautiful Palladium spade, however I'm a little sad because I know I am going to probably lose it sometime this month when I app for my PRG. I'll have to cherish it while I have it because it will be forever before I get to this level again!
