I\'ve briefly (who am I kidding...I don\'t think I\'ve briefly said ANYTHING on this forum) mentioned this before, but I\'d like to suggest to the older members (and the members that have influence over their parents) that they consider signing up for a Toys R Us VISA credit card.
I have had one for basically 4 years now. Why do I mention it? Cuz every non-TRU purchase made gains me 1% refund applied as Geoffrey Dollars (redeemable at TRU) which arrive in $10 increments a day or two prior to my monthly statement. When I use the credit card for TRU purchases, I receive 4% credit. And by "redeemable" I mean nothing less than, "I get free PSOne and PS2 games...all...the...time!!!"
Being 35 years old with a job that allows me to travel a great deal, I use this card for EVERYTHING. Motels, rental cars, plane tickets, meals. It racks up...believe me. Even the non-travel goes on their each month. Gas for the car, groceries, etc. Now understand...I pay this card off each month (i.e. I don\'t overextend myself beyond my means). But by doing so...its as good as cash and racks up mucho credit with Geoffrey Dollars.
Like how much? ...... patter...patter... Okay, says here I\'ve actually had the card since August of \'96. In that time, TRU has awarded me just pennies over $1100.00!!!! Can you imagine that??!! I love it!!! And actually, since this past March of \'00, I was holding back my Geoffrey Dollars to get my PS2. I walked in with well over $400.00 worth of GDs on Oct 26th. Walked out with a PS2, a boatload of games, a long receipt, and absolutely NO actual cash left my wallet!!! SwEeT...
Just a thought...
