Time to see where we are for giftcards. I have been using a lot lately, got a book from Barnes and Noble, icecream at Cold Stone and 4 pairs of new pants, a planner, and some Christmas gifts at Walmart.

We got a lot of new ones too. MO got $500 in Visa GC for a Christmas gift from his employer!

I checked some of our Visa/MasterCard GC that we received last year, and I found out that after 12 months of not using them you get a $2 per month inactivity fee. We haven't gotten any fees yet and to make sure we don't get any we will be using them for fuel, and everytime we fill fuel with a GC, we will then do a transfer for the same amount from checking to savings. That way we will actually see the benefit of the GC since we don't have any tangible or large purchases that we are needing right now.
