So I cashed in those reward points for two $100 Amazon gift certificates ... which apprently they're going to mail to me. They informed me of this via email.

Am I the only one that sees the stupidity in this?

OK, I shouldn't complain about getting a heck of a good shopping spree on Amazon, but really people. Get with the 20th century! (And maybe one day join the rest of us in the 21st.)

NOTE: Yeah, the previous version of this post was an accident. I intended to cancel it out and start again from home, but it looks like I didn't do that so I'll just post it now. Oops.

Over a year ago I signed up for the "Chase Leisure Rewards" program with my bank card. At the time I wasn't making or spending that much but I figured what the heck it'll probably pay for itself with the occassional Amazon gift card or something, right? Anyway, I pretty much forgot about the thing and haven't been paying attention to my point balance.

Then last July I got a better job, we moved, and I've put most of the repeating bills plus weekly groceries and other regular expenses on the card. I had gotten into the habit of not paying any attention to the point balance because I didn't really have much there ... so imagine my surprise when I logged into the site today and saw my total:

Current Points: 84664

Wow. Now we're talking some serious reward territory. (Or I could wait a month or so and see what things look like in the 100K+ range! Bwahahahahaaa!)
