So far we have earned a $25 gas gift card and are saving several cents each time we pump gas. We have been using the Speedway Reward card.

I rarely buy anything online-but I do rack up points at Mypoints just by getting their emails and clicking on the "see offer" link. Then I close out that window and don't buy anything-usually netting me 5 points for my time. Those do eventually add up. Last year I was able to get $5 gift cards to Red Lobster for all 4 preschool teachers and a $50 card to Old Navy for myself-and I didn't buy anything.<br /><br />Oh, and on the grocery store shopper cards-if I'm in a store that I rarely shop in and don't have a card for, I do the slightly dishonest thing and tell them I forgot it at home. Usually the cashier has a card they can swipe instead. Do this only if it doesn't bother you ethically. . . or if you honestly did forget your card (like when I have YB's truck, and all my shopper cards are on my keyring. .. ) Just a note on Mypoints-you don’t actually have to shop online.

It works for us! Plus Discover offers extra cashback every month for different retailers, like 5% extra for gas, entertainment, school supplies, clothing, etc. Love it!

So I try to remember to swipe my Meijer card each time I shop! =) This doesn’t benefit ME, but my church is enrolled in the Meijer communities plan, I believe the money earned through the church-people’s purchases is put to use by the youth department.
