Hello everyone,
So I'm frugal and I'm a sucker for points, raffles, and memberships that offer incentives just for using a product. Yesterday I redeemed my Bing points for $35 Xbox live credit and purchased a game. (The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Edition)
I remember when I lost my job in 2012 I was looking at all the accounts I had and discovered I had $1,200 worth of points available from my Chase Visa Card. An awesome surprise when I was in desperate need.
So I get credits for using Bing, I think it took about a year to get the amount I had for the game (Heard this is a U.S. only promo). Additionally, I get points for using my credit card (responsibility).
I know the wife and I opted for the premium Costco membership where we get a check cut to us with a percentage back of our overall purchases.
What's something you use that offers a nice perk just for using it or being a member?
Mods: recently I posted an FYI about bing on the xboxone subreddit and got a pretty good discussion going. My post was erased by one of the mods who informed me that the information I posted had already been discussed therefore It was a waist of everyone's time. I'm finally coming out of my reddit lurking corner. If this has been posted before or could have been searched, my apologies. I'm just trying to start a discussion where we may all learn something new.
