I started doing rebate from drug stores last year. After spending all the rebate money I received for few months, I wonder "Wait..... How much will I save with all the rebate I receive?"
This simple question triggered me to open up a new account that is specifically for rebate saving purpose.
Of course, I didn't waste my chance to receive a bonus from the bank I opened the accout with. I just saw $50 creditted to my account.
OK, I started doing this in December and here's the result so far.
