Since my other blog got deleted, I am going to post how I plan to spend my $2000 visa prepaid card.
Here is how I came to have $2000 to spend. Walgreens/Wyeth had this promotion last year when you bought 4 Wyeth products you qualified for 4 $25 spa reward certs. To make a long story short, there were many problems with this promotion and Wyeth finally decided to offer a prepaid visa card for your unused certs. This is what I bought:
80 packs of Robitussin cough drops
Walgreens had them on sale one week for 3/$2 or .67 each
.67/bag
-.35/coupon
=.32/bag x 80
= $25.60
+ 1.79
=$27.39
So for $27.39 I got $2000.00
I do have to pay taxes and will get a 1099 but am hoping to make $$ buy doing deals, rebates, etc. to make up the taxes.
I welcome posts to help me decide how to stretch this $$$$. I have to use up this card by 10/08
I am planning on buying gift cards like Wal-mart, CVS, Walgreens, Winn Dixie, restaurant, etc. so will be looking for deals on these.
Also, anyone know if I can tie this to my paypal account and, transfer to my paypal account and earn the interest from them?
