Tonight we got to eat an early dinner at Red Lobster, for almost free! We get "free" gift cards for it by doing mypoints.com and using the rewards bonuses from Discover card.
I like to maximize my rewards, so instead of getting the cash back from Discover, i turn them into gift cards and gain an extra five bucks!
and using mypoints.com takes an extra 5 minutes a day to click on advertisements, (and a lot of extra junk email), but when the points add up, i get free gift cards to several different places - but i usually go with Red Lobster and Pizza Hut and Burger King! we used to choose Chili's, but since they might close down, we'll stick with Red Lobster - which also can be used at Olive Garden and other places.
I like eating for free! or almost free! yum!
