A Free Walmart Weekend?

Kind of. I have $50 worth of points I can cash in at Bing for Walmart gift cards. But I will only cash out $25 worth and preserve the other $25 for another time. Plus, I have a Wyndham Visa card I cashed out for my points from using their hotels (which my job pays for) for work related travel that is worth $100. I have activated it and it is ready to go. On top of that I have a $25 Visa gift card I got from my mom last Christmas I have not used yet. We have a few things on the list that we get at Walmart which we will do this weekend. All said, I have $150 in "free money" that can be used and I am sure we won't spend more than that. So, this weekend our Walmart trip is essentially a "free Walmart weekend." Plus we own stock in the company? Winning.

They definitely come in handy, especially when you really don't have to work for the money.

...and then I forgot, once again, to print out that Walmart gift card from Bing. But I still got to use the $100 Wydham card and forewent using the $25 Visa one so as not to hold up the line too much.

Will you be acquiring any camping supplies? We recently stocked up on a few of the essentials - a water filter, black tank enzyme pods, RV toilet paper (for those of you who don't RV, yes, the tanks need a special kind of tp).

Not on this round, but before our first planned trip in April I am sure we will need something. As for the tp thing, everyone I have talked to has said you can use regular toilet paper so long as it says "septic safe." I hope that's true because it's cheaper.

Even though it is not entirely free money, it feels like free money, and so that makes me quite happy about it.

You betcha. lol. With the Wyndham thing it is almost like a double win since I use my Discover card when I travel, so I get the 1% cash back on the stays, plus accumulate the hotel points that I can exchange for the gift cards—essentially paid for the by the company.

Wound up spending $152. All stuff we pretty much needed. I swear that place has a vacuum at the entrance that just sucks the money right out of your pocket. lol

That's awsome. I haven't been doing any of my earning sites this week, but I did cash out one of the apps today for a Apple Gift Card. I've been playing a game on my phone at night, and didn't want to use cash/credit/debit card to advance in the game, so I cashed out some points for a $5 gift card.
