It was snowing a minute ago. I am DISGUSTED with March.
One of us! One of us!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a financial question (the answer to shrift's financial issue is GET PAID) -- I'm looking to cancel one of my credit cards and get one with rewards. I'm assuming some rewards programs suck, and some rock. So even before I decide what sort of rewards I want -- I'm interested in knowing about other people's experiences.
Anyone out there?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I ended up with Citi rewards card by accident, and when I figured it all out, I had enough points to get a Gameboy with a bunch left over, so that was fun. But I really didn't set out to do any of this, so it's all been gravy.

BigBoss sent out an e-mail saying that we're to treat Friday like a normal work day, even though it's a paid holiday.
The fuck?
ita, we have a card that accumulates points that translate into cash, and we have a Discover card that lets you translate rewards into gift cards and the like. Discover is nice, because some options actually let you increase your money ($25 gets you a $30 Borders card), but the available merchants are kind of limited.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I don't care so much about the rewards, just the low APR.

Citi's been good to me too, I just cashed in some points for a $100 gift card for Bed Bath & Beyond.
Hopefully on saturday we will be the proud owners of a Kitchen Aid mixer!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
We put most of our major purchases on a Value Miles Platinum Visa® Card, and end up with about one free flight per year. Redeeming them is kind of a PITA, but we can use miles on any major airline. (No idea how they specifically define "major," but we have yet to be turned down.)
[eta: We've also got a Discover, which gives cash back, which we always just put towards the balance. And I have a Chase iCard which gives cash back in the form of Webcertificates.]

Ann, that's a ferret.
ita, the only thing I have to add is that cash-back doesn't help much if you don't use the card too often. Discover was my primary card back when it was strictly cash-back, and only once was the reward more than enough for lunch for 2 at a decent deli.

I'm waiting for the vet to call me with results of a needle biopsy.

It's raining madly here. The falls are quite high and the waterfall is back and all churny.
I need to get Citibank to add the rewards stuff to my card. I keep getting offers, but I am sooo lazy. I also need to have another photo submitted to put on it. The current picture is from when I was barely 20.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I came into work today to see a very pretty vase with very pretty spring flowers in it from my mother--thanks, Mom, and I'm sorry I kept you awake into the wee hours of the morning 39 years ago. She also sent me a pretty card with a guilt-trip letter due to some issues we've been having, so that mitigates the pretty a bit.
Now, I'm feeling ancient, and desperately need to dye the grey hairs on my head before Easter.
Happy Birthday, Raquel! And congrats on the new arrival!
Oh, and shrift's boss sucks in the worst of ways.
That is all.
