So I spend about $50-$55 on the card every month, get my $1 reward on it then put it away until the next month. I may only get $12 a year back on the card but I only put about $650 on the card a year. I figure I get about a 1.8% return.

So I did, as I have unsuccessfully done a number of times in the past. Yesterday, I received a brand new shiny Disney Rewards Credit Card in the mail. Who'da thunk it? I am either back in their good graces or someone wasn't paying attention. I find it really funny at any rate.
