Holy Shite Did I Get a Pleasant Surprise

 Last week I got a letter from my credit union.

When I got it from the mailbox I noticed it was not my usual statement envelope. It looked like---a letter.

Well shit. Here recently when I get---a letter---it doesn't carry good news.

So, with some amount of trepidation I gingerly opened it.

And what to my eyes should appear, but a nice surprise.

Seems like I have some rewards points on my credit card account. I didn't know I had reward points.

The letter said they expire in December so get em now while the gittin is good. It also said they had something new. Instead of buying merchandise I could redeem the points for cash.

Well crap that motivated me. Cash instead of merchandise? Sign me up!

And I'll be goddamn if I didn't get $445 from those damn points.

Holy smokes. Maybe I should get a few more cards so I can get some  more of those points. As the kids say, Just Kiddin.
