I have to say that I have tried for over 2 year (maybe 10 different times total) to use the SPG50 offer and the rate is always higher than the best rate at the time. It seems that the 'rack' rate is so inflated that it is never worthwhile to use the coupon. I just throw them out now.
Exactly, the SPG50 seem worthless to me too. I just trash them as soon as I get them.
