Nothing substitutes for planning early regarding your career.

Combine Rewards Programs

One way to create synergy maximizing cash back and rewards points is to plan
what card or program to use when purchasing something you need and doing that
with a cash back program. After years of seeing different sales compensations
plans you become keenly aware of how to combine programs, discounts and rewards
to your best possible benefit. Most cash back programs yield 2% to 6% direct
cash back to you. Now by using a reward credit card to receive points for your purchase you have increased your discount on what you bought raising the yield
to about that 2% to 6%. This is getting two for one, but it is spread across two programs. Do it often enough and you become great at getting other things at a greater discount. Best times to shop are when you make a volume purchase for
example Christmas time, back to school and other holidays or special times.

$200 Worth Free Gas Every Year

This is simple and easy to do. Sign up for Wheel of Fortune Wheel Watchers Club on line and answer the Bonus Puzzle, Jeopardy clue and answer and Sony Picture Television questions worth 10 points. Get a Sony Card and double your points so you can earn 80 points a day. When you earn 3500 points you can order a gas gift card for $25.00 dollars, that is about 8 times a year. I am sure there are other rewards programs that provide gas gift cards, seek them out and find one you can easily accumulate points to spend on gift cards and other useful items.

Saving On Car Rental

Low cost car rental on vacation is a must when you fly. A complete package of air, hotel and car rental is usually the best way to go. Other than working for a major
car rental company you will get you best rate from the last minute deals through
the car rental web page or travel site web page.

To illustrate on my last vacation the rental rate was over $400 for the week in Orlando through the airline site. I knew from experience that I could get a better rate for the week if I would work on the computer to find it. My first thought
was to get a free certificate from my hotel points program, which I did but since it was Spring Break season the car rental company would not honor that free certificate. No worry, I could use it later since I have a full year. Next I logged on to search for the best last minute deals at the major car rental companies and found one for $227 complete with taxes. Mission accomplished total spent with gas and fees $280 verse $450.

Buy The Sales Using Coupons

This is the best way to get the best price from a retail store. Buy the items that are on sale and use a coupon with that sale item. Can you say stock up time! Clipping coupons and keeping track of is painful and work. Get an envelope making dividers out of cut index cards or a good coupon organizer from the dollar or discount store. Organize by category works best, but using expiration dates will help you with trashing old or out of date coupons.

Saving With Reward Points

By using reward points I have received a HDTV, gas cards, food from Omaha Steaks
and other items. Christmas shopping can be done with reward points and the best
part of this shopping is the items your order are delivered to your door or can
be delivered to the door of the person you are giving the gift.
