Here is the chart showing the snowflakes I have accumulated since the beginning of the month. The credit card rewards make a big difference!
I do expect additional rewards before the end of the month, thus I will wait to send this big fat snowball of money to the mortgage as a principal payment. I expect a Pinecone survey or two, a Swagbucks reward, a MyPoints reward, another credit card reward or two, AND profits from Ebay sales!
Just to be clear. We only have a balance on one of the credit cards. That is the most recent one we completed, Capital One Quicksilver. Today, I made a payment of nearly $268 to cover the utilities we charged, thus we owe about $232. I expect to redeem the bonus when it hits the account as a statement credit, thus putting what we owe to about $125. I will get this paid off right after the credit posts to the account.
And in other good news, we saved $265 in our emergency fund this pay period. Pretty good considering some recent travels and a birthday!
Do you have a mid month snowflake tally? How do you keep track of your snowflakes? What are you doing with your snowflakes?
