Newsletter exclusive let down

The three redemptions were not that bad before they got so greedy and changed all the rules and rewards. As I said you use to be able to use all 3 redemptions for one vendor plus back in the day the gift cards were always like $50, $25, $10 and hardly ever did you see a measly, lousey $5 coupon. 

I wasn't enrolled in the rewards program when they had the great benefits described by other people, and I don't know if the gift cards offered back then sold out as fast as the current gift cards sell out.  It would be nice to get more than 3 redemptions per month, but if they allowed that, then I expect the really good gift cards would sell out even faster than they do now, and a lot of members wouldn't be able to get any of them.  What I wish they would do is show all of the gift cards for the month at the start of the month, so we can choose the 3 that we really want.  But they already have tech issues with just showing the extra credit gift cards at the beginning of the month, and if they offered even more, then it would be even worse. So for now, we're left with trying to figure out if we should get a gift card at the beginning or middle of the month (assuming it hasn't already sold out before we even see it for the first time, which happens to me quite a bit), and then maybe miss out on better gift cards offered later in the month. Or passing on early gift cards and then not getting anything later in the month.

I can totally understand your frustration, @stevestjohn. However, the email was sent to everyone who subscribed to the newsletter regardless if they have already used their monthly redemptions.
