I got a notice that a Chase statement was ready to view.
I looked to make sure my final payment hit. It had.
I had 1700 of some sort of other rewards/points. I didn't expect I'd be able to redeem anything, but was able to redeem for a $10 Target gift card with just 1000 points.
I think my Fidelity is still looking much more lucrative! But I am happy I squeezed out one last reward - I really thought I wouldn't be able to redeem my small balance. I only spent $150 or so, last month. (Some of the points must have converted over from my old reward system, which was different).
I just redeemed a $250 check under the old system - last month - so wasn't going to sweat not using every last point.
The Target card was a nice surprise - will use it for groceries.

Dh got a $10 off gift card from Safeway today (spent more than $75?) and also earned a $1.50 off coupone (Safeway) - he isn't sure why. Something he bought...
We really don't shop Safeway much at all any more. It's gotten so expensive! Dh still gets gas there though.
At our main Grocery store (local/regional) we get 25 cent off per gallon gas every time we spend $100. So I fill up the van there (16 gallons at a time) and dh usually hits Safeway for 3 cents off a gallon.

What sort of deal is Fidelity giving you?

Fidelity is 2% "Cash back" on everything, into a Fidelity account. I am putting it in my ROTH and expect about $500 per year.
Chase has been lowering my rewards and trying to charge annual fees, so I am just ditching them. I looked at the rotating categories and many are ones we don't use, so doesn't much appeal to me.

I have a Chase Freedom, and thus far have not been slapped with any annual fees. I also have a Wells Fargo Visa which is 1% on everything, credited to my WF mortgage. I like your Fidelity card better.

MonkeyMama,
Sounds like you and your DH have been getting some good deals!

I declined the changes, and they let me keep going for another 18 months. Now that they changed my rewards, I figure it is a matter of time before they try the fee thing again.
