I do. Anytime I see the credit card offers where they give you anywhere from $20.00 to a $100.00 in credit or cash for applying for their card and being accepted I apply. These offers are everywhere if you look. Just about all gas stations and stores have something like this.

I got a Shell card yesterday where I had to make at least four purchases totaling $20.00 in the next 60 days they put a $25.00 credit on the card. Right after I activated the card I ran up to Shell and put three $5.00 purchases and one $10.00 purchase on the card right at the pump and filled my tank up. When I get the bill next month reflecting those purchases and the $25.00 credit I will call and cancel that card. The month after that I will wash and repeat. Just dropped another application into the mail today from BP for a $20.00 credit.

Money for nothing and tax free to boot. Something to keep a retired guy like me occupied and out of trouble. Anyone else do it?

Don
