Free Safe Deosit Box!

14 years ago

It takes so long to get a large box, that when I finally got one it did not occur to me that I really didn't need such a large one.

But this past year I decided to ask about a smaller box and finally last week I was told that some were available. With our Gold Card our present box was discounted, but we were still paying $138.00 for the year.

Going down a size, we use the $150.00 discount which means the box is free!

Has anyone else discovered something they were entitled too and just so happened to find out?

Hmmm....can't think of anything right now, but that sounds like a good place to be in! Glad you got your box for free...nice surprise.

The only thing similar I can think of, is when the plumber working on my bathroom remodel told me he'd do my tear-out for free. My tile guy was going to do it for $800.00! So, that was an unexpected "freebie" in my life that I really appreciated!

For the longest time (like years) I never paid attention to the points acquired on a credit card. I really don't know why. Maybe it seemed gimmicky. I do remember checking when they first launched the program, think I was eligible for a free travel alarm clock or calculator. Then I started shopping online, using only that card. Fast forward to this year. My printer & scanner are both starting to give me problems. Just discovered recently I have enough points to get some pretty nice things.
Including a highly rated wireless all-in-one printer ideal for my home office that retails for near $300. That was a nice surprise. :)

moon, we have a similar deal. We use one particular credit card for EVERYTHING, and we earn points from it. In the past, I have gotten a Crate & Barrel sofa for "free" using those points, and recently I got two kitchen chairs and a set of drapes from Pottery Barn, all using points. I love it!

I just received two gift cards to a fun/interesting local store that I bid on in an auction for our schools. They weren't "free" -- I pretty much donated the amount they're worth -- but, you know, they kinda/sorta were. I'm looking forward to using them to buy some "free" stuff!

Soon after my husband and I were married, I talked him into switching from his Visa to one of the newer (at the time) Discover cards. I think it was the only one, back then, that was offering cash back. I use it exclusively at the grocery store and other shopping. Fast forward a few years and we bought our last 2 TVs with the rewards. Latest model is a 50" Sony LED 1040p flat screen that we just love. That was $4,000 worth of TVs for just shopping the way I would normally shop.

I put everything on my credit card too. 'Even pay most of my other bills with it if they allow it. So far I've gotten a TV and a refrigerator. I don't know how your card works, but my Citi Card will give me more for my points if I buy gift cards from them for stores that participate in their plan than if I were to just cash out the points.
