No spender & $25 from Capital One

January 9th, 2008 at 11:30 pm

Today was another no spender. It was definately needed.

I've been spending a lot of my entertainment/eating out money on eating at my work cafe. Mostly this is due to laziness.

Well now I have $5.81 left in my entertainment budget until the 15th. Oh well, lots of eating in and watching movies. I plan on doing some deep cleaning at the house this weekend. I want to sort some stuff to sell on Craigslist.


Also, I just got a statement from my Capital One Money market Account. I received a $25.00 bonus just for signing up and funding a small amount ($40.00). Woo hoo.

In other news, my MyPoints balance is over 1000 points! I took it to zero just before Christmas and now its already up to 1k! Very nice!!

    Congrats on building that balance up so quick!

    I think my MyPoints balance is around 28,000 points. There is just nothing there that I want or need. I did cash in 2800 points a few years ago for an Applebee;s GC, but I wish we could get cash for them. Meanwhile I'll keep hording points in the hopes that someday they'll offer PayPal or a check for them. Smile

    You made out like a bandit, only $40 deposited and you earn more than half of your deposit. Awesome Big Grin

    Mypoints work basically by signing up, if you purchase items from their site throughh an affilliate (ex. Target or Amazon) you earn points. You will also get emails, and by clicking on them you earn points, some are surveys as well. Once you receive a certain amount of points you can redeem them for gift cards. There are a number of ways you can receive points. If you would like I can send you a referral (I will earn additional points if you sign up) via email or you can go to
