MM that is fabulous. What a great amount to put towards groceries.
A friend in Texas said her grocery store (HEB) now has a credit card with 5% cash back on purchases made in the store. She uses it for all of her food purchases. I'm not sure if my local stores offer a card - we have Safeway and Fred Meyer. I use my Amazon Prime Visa at Whole Foods, that applies discounts if items are on sale and we get the Amazon rewards points. Maybe I should start using it for all of my food purchases.

I have started the new year with $40 on my Everyday rewards card. I will be interested to see if I do as well as last year or not.

After grocery shopping today I have $100 on my rewards card. I am pleased with that. Would love to have $200 by Christmas.

I mainly use cc rewards from Citibank. I use some of the cards to buy gifts and some as gifts themselves.

My thoughts are we have to shop somewhere so we may as well maximise rewards where we can. I used some left over rewards from 2023 to stockpile some meat and groceries and get a jump start on stocking fillers etc for this year.

I’ll save it until Christmas. It’s become a game to see how much I can earn!
Same here, I look at where I can earn bonus dollars etc. Loving the challenge

At $257 on my rewards card. Husband finally had signed us up for the grocery store Visa card so that has helped.
He had almost $800 in rewards on his cabelas card which you can only use at cabelas. Couldn’t find anything he wanted there so he got me the Traeger smoker I’ve been drooling over!

I am at $150 on my rewards card. There does not seem to be as many rewards so far so I think I am a little behind where I was this time last year. Still in a good place and am hoping on $200 by Christmas. I will save to rewards cash with the hope that it will help me purchase some gift cards or groceries come November or December

Now have $180 on my card. The bank Christmas club also has a good amount in it. Hoping to purchase the GC to the hardware warehouse by the end of September and also purchase a few GC to send to DS.

If any of you have the Krazy Coupon Lady app, she has some GC bargains today.

As of today I have $398 on my grocery rewards card. Switching over to their credit card has increased our rewards substantially.
WOW. That is great.

We have only two choices of places for buying groceries - Walmart or Super1 - unless we drive 50 miles or more. You know Walmart doesn't offer incentives, and neither does the other. I tried getting a GC and adding some money each week at Super1, but you have to get a new card each time. I don't want 25 GCs to scan at Christmas! So, I'll just stash cash in an envelope.
