Agreed..but everybody has their limits. I have 2 Platinum cards and wouldn't go to a Saks/Lululemon store for 1 gift card of $50 or $75, but WOULD for $100 or $150.00
Similarly, when I get to the end of the month and have expiring Uber credits, I have to decide whether I want to order food that my fat a$$ doesn't need, or get off my butt, get in an Uber, and go somewhere, even if the smart decision was to stay home.....
