Sounds like you got a GREAT deal! HAVE FUN!!!
My hubby has been ignoring me for several months...Momma needs some attention too! Between Pokemon at Indy (4 day trip without me), Playing Poker over in Cherokee, poker at friends house, and now this stupid computer game they are obesessed with I've had it! So for our 21st anniversary (11/18/10) I have decided he is going to take me to a bed and breakfast and get the most expensive room!
I knew the area I wanted and found what looks to me to be a really romantic BB and I picked the most expensive room (which was the most expensive there, but compared to others in the region, it is an average rate room)....One of the links (for reviews) took me to Bedandbreakfast.com...While there they had a ad banner for get a $50 GC for free, pressed the banner and read buy $250 GC and get a $50 gc for free! As luck would have it, the place is $129 a night and we are going for 2 nights! And they accept these gift certificates too (Not all BB registered on this site take the GCs).
I went to eBates and low and behold it doesn't say GC are excluded from the 5% back you get....So I purchased...sure enough this morning there is $12.50 in my account! I booked the room this morning, now let's hope I get to double dip and get an additional $12.90 put in my account after we stay-even if we don't I have already only spent $250 when it would have cost me $277.41 plus I got $12.50 back.
Net-
$129 room for 2 nights plus 10.25% tax
cost ME so far
$237.50
and I should get an additional $12.90 back
making my cost just under $225
and I still have $22.59 which is a reason to go to another BB in the future...
The gift cards never expire either.
And best of all, I get my hubbys undivided attention for 2.5 days in the area of my state I absolutely LOVE (I have retirement plans to move there)...no computer, no work, and no cooking for me! I think if it were any longer it would be too much. I say I need attention but after 2-3 days of constant attention I will have had enough.![]()
