Chase 10% cash back. WOW!

[Anonymous]

Look for this in the mail if you were selected. July, Aug and Sept 2008 for select cardholders get a wopping 10% cash back on Gas, Food, Medications up to $100 back (that's $1,000 in qualifying purchases) in statement credits each month for these 3 months. Fantastic! I'm swiping my card for the next 3 months!

Is there a link? Is this related to the thread a week or two back about the 5 percent back?

I'd take advantage of this in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll call them and ask to be invited or something.

I only need $80 more in cash back to get to $200, which should get me a check for $250.

I can't wait. It really is $250 of free money since I have never carried a balance.

Um, you realize that even with 10% cash back, you're not going to come out ahead in that endeavor, right?

You are limited to $100 in statement credits. But yep that's not a bad idea to reach the $1,000 maximum!

Yeah, that's a bummer...  except that if you're spending $1000 on gas, groceries and drugs each month, you're in trouble that no amount of cashback can save you from.

Not necessarily.  Some people have families to feed.  $1000 a month doesn't go as far as it used to, especially in areas with a high cost of living.

My personal expenditures over the last 30 days according to MS Money (this is for two people living in NYC):

Gas: $234

Groceries: $660

Drugstores: $195

Total: $1089

Yeah, I didn't factor that I live in a state with a relatively low cost of living.  My gas is equal to yours, around $250/mo. but my grocery bill is about $300/mo. and that's for me and my girlfriend.  We don't eat out, so I figured ours would be at least average. 

Drugstores, however, I have the luxury of having very good insurance, and most of my medication is pretty cheap.  Though, I do have a disease that warrants me spending lots of cash on medication.  I didnt figure the average person would spend near as much as me there.  My drugstore bill right now is only about $100.  Though without insurance it would be $2000 - $3000.

So you're right, I jumped the gun on that one.

Still, though.  It's got you covered and 10% is unbeatable
