Discover Card Offers $20.00 Cashback Bonus

A couple of month ago I received a letter in the mail from my Discover Card. It was an offer to receive $20.00 cashback bonus reward for my next 20 purchases. Now this was my kind of deal since there was no minimum purchase and I use a credit card for all my purchases anyway, sounded like a no-brainer to me. I will receive $1.00 cashback for each of my 20 purchases. I will look forward to their kindness and generousity rewarding our excellant credit rating.

This kind of reward is offered many times when you don't use their card regularly. I'd been using my American Express Card and the Discover Card wanted my business back. They had it back, since any purchase rewarded me with $1.00 per purchase and I only receive 1% from the American Express Card for purchases. Now I've put the Discover card away again and will wait for the next cashback bonus offer in the mail. :) This may sound silly to some of you but it's just part of the money game I play. What would you do?

The image of this letter is below but for those dealing with disabilities of any kind, I'm going to type it here.

*Now the back of the letter did say it may take up to 8 weeks for the cashback reward to show up on my statement but who cares, free money is free money.
