I'm on a fixed low income so I saved up some $5 gift cards to buy myself some Chicago Bears and Chicago **bleep** jerseys (which they've bleeped out & I don't know why since it's the name of the Chicago Basketball Team????)  I can wear my jerseys and represent my hometown teams while in another state, but for some crazy reason I can't say the name of the basketball team on here, which is weird!! Da Bears!  Da **bleep** (see what I mean, weird???)

{My Hint- Check out the company's policy on how many gift cards you can use on a purchase, since some businesses allow up to10 gift cards at one time and some only 1.}

$5 doesn't even buy a cup of coffee anymore.  We also used to enter sweepstakes and instant wins all the time, but never won.  Seemed like a waste of time. Not really any fun.  We've stepped away from the rewards program.

Agreed. Those little "waste of time" GCs have provided me with a pound of coffee and/or a dozen-and-a half eggs I couldn't have enjoyed on my social security income, so I too will take cast offs.

Done with this "new" and "improved"... kinda like dotard improved America...

Multiple sweepstakes and instant wins. I redeem for several every month. Haven’t won anything. I’m a glutton for punishment!

Yeah, but it’s fun, and you just never know, you may hit it! 👍

Yep, I just won my very first sweeps here today - Ulta $100!!! I’d been getting very discouraged too, so am now a believer that they are very real now!
