The statement cycle for my Chase Freedom card ended yesterday. Today, I received notification that my new rewards balance was 30,502. This is the card that is giving 30,000 point for making one purchase. I made two. One very small one at Old Navy and a donation to the Red Cross, since charities were 5% cash back last quarter.
I redeemed all the points for a check that will amount to $305.02. Can't wait to see that nice bonus check in week or so! And of course, the account balance is zero.
In other credit card news, I applied and was approved for a Citi Dividend Card. I will need to spend $500 in 3 months to earn a $200 bonus. I likely will just use the card to buy regular purchases during the next month and be done with it.
DH is not interested in opening any accounts in his name. If he was we could double these rewards. Oh well. It's his choice.

I have now applied and ordered my 4th rewards card, the Citi Dividend Visa. i already have the Citi Dividend Master Card and i called to make sure i could also get the Visa with another $200. amazingly, they said yes.
I've already racked up enough purchases to get the $150 from Discover. I was about to charge a car insurance payment to it when i realized I'd charged enough, so am holding off making the payment until i get the new credit card, hopefully in time before the payment's due
