Correction, I did not focus on the fact that the tracker is cumulative. My Drugstore spending did not increase at all from May to June. The fact that the Everyday spending was still a high percentage was due to the pre-June spending on drugstores counting in the year-to-date totals.

In other words, this is not working for me any more. Maybe I spent too much and got noticed? Perhaps the actual results will be better when the July statement cuts off and the June rewards post, but I dount it.

Hope it continues to work for everyone else. At least I surpassed the $6,500 barrier so my non-manufactured drugstore, grocery and gas spending should produce a benefit.

These things are always worth a try. If it works for anyone else, great. Maybe it is better to keep spending low? Slow and steady does not usually win the race, but maybe here it does.
