To CaptainCool- I agree with you on the other forums. Until the Staples deal I didn't know they mimic'ed this thread but with similar arrows & circles. I have not yet seen any wife pics. I actually have never spent more than 10 seconds on them since I just simply thought only FT/MP would have data like this. #fail

Now that the ice cream has melted, has anyone "discovered" a better use for Tim Allen other than taking him out to Lowes or HD? Just wondering if it's worth stocking up before he goes away also.

yes they have to talk with customer service and compliance for a month to get it back. Not worth it, just boot him from FT and the CIA and be done with it! lol

I bought 3x$200 Visa gift cards and 2x$200 Visa gift cards for $1034.75. Staples rebates pending $135 and $75. I posted my process on my blog, PM me if interested. I don't think posting this deal is killing anything because its limited one per household. Unless you have multiple households, but in my opinion not worth the risk. I can also verify that you can Kiva the gift cards. Thats $1,035 towards my minimum spend on my Ink Plus!

Miles/points for sending money?
A friend asks me to send 3k to his daughter in college in the next several days (can't wait until next month), I'm looking for ways to get miles/points for this.
Can't use AP as I have already paid close to 1k this month for something else? My Serve account was closed in order to get BB. I could send her a check from my BB account, but I'd rather use the fund to pay upcoming property tax, etc.
Any suggestion on how to best utilize this for points/miles?

CVS $5 extra care bucks with the purchase of 2 visa cards
I just saw that CVS is offering $5 Extra Care bucks with the purchase of 2 Visa variable load prepaid cards.
Good through 11/21.
Limit one.
they're also offering $20 Extra Care bucks for the purchase of a $75 or more iTunes card.

I did 3 x $200 VISA gift cards at Staples. Rebate center said I was eligible for a $135 rebate after submission. But I just got the below email from Staples. Looks like they're in the process of "fixing" the glitch and will be adjusting the amount of the gift cards:
