I have to tell you I really like your blog; you seem to offer up a lot of info/tricks that I haven't seen in other places. Major props to you!
Wow, thanks! That's too cool that you remember me from the seminar. I hope you'll forgive me for not remembering: the seminar was a whirlwind of non-stop activities and learnings. I can't wait for the next one!
Re: your water heater, yeah 12 pts per dollar is still good. It's just depressing compared to what you could have had yesterday

Quick, free tip: if you have or can get a Chase Freedom card, I believe it is giving 5 points per dollar for department store purchases until end of December. As you probably know, those points can be turned into UR points. So, If you buy the Sears gift cards with the Freedom card, you should get a total of 5 + 6 = 11 points per dollar, and then another 6 points per dollar when you use the gift card = 17 points per dollar! Just remember that the Freedom card has something like a $1500 limit on purchases that get 5 points.
I need to write this up for my blog...
