Damn – your title for my post is a lot better than mine. Great use of the word “snag”…
Funny article on redeeming rewards points – that’s why I gave up my Aerogold Visa points card – it’s just not worth it.

Thanks for the link, CC. Enjoy your weekend.
Mike: I’m thinking of redeeming all my points and be done with rewards. Cold, hard cash works best for me
Have a great weekend everyone!
Thanks for the mention CC. I always knew that the M1 mortgage was more expensive, but until I had that table shown to me, I had no idea it was that the premium was so great.
