4/16/09--Rebating saves the day!

I looked up Carraba's customer service number today because I thought it wouldn't hurt to call and just see if they can replace my lost gift card, even though the cards say "Lost or stolen gift cards will not be replaced." I had a copy of my receipt from a rebate I sent in before Christmas so I thought it was worth a shot. I had to leave a message, so I did not have high expectations. HOWEVER--the rep called me back within a hour and said "No problem!" I just have to fax her the copy of my receipt! I couldn't believe it and I am so thankful! That was an encouragement I really needed this week!

We did no other shopping today--in fact, we stayed around here cleaning house (my two older boys did a great job cleaning their rooms) and doing laundry. So things are looking up!
