So my son's new hockey rink finally reopened. I was EXCITED to see there is a staples 1 mile from the rink. I rolled over, grabbed 5 VGC walk up the the register and I'm told I can't buy them, the limit is 1. Now they didn't have any Staple signage up either. I pulled up the ad and showed where it states limit 5. The cashier then says, well the policy changed 3 mos ago, the ad isn't up to date. I'm like this is YOUR AD from the website. Then the manager comes over and says "it's HIS store, so HIS policy" is to only allow 1 card so others can get one and they don't sell out. I showed him again the STAPLES ad, but he flat out refused to honor it (he was very much on a power trip). I bought the 1 VGC, but then actually did the survey leaving terrible feedback. My BF said I should have demanded their names and called corporate since it's in the weekly ad.
I just know I won't be bothering going there. I was hoping to knock out another $1k of the $3700 left on my CIC #2. I saw Meijer has $10 off VCG, but you have to go through the checkout lanes, and yesterday the 3 that were open had about 20 people waiting in each. I need OD/OM to run a few more sales.
In other non-CC news....I dove into the world of crypto mining last month. Back in May the BF and I bought helium miners. They aren't cheap ($480) and take forever to get here, but my miner has made $828 in about 1.5 months. I'm torn on cashing out my investment, or letting it ride, LOL.
I was coming here to post this as well. I have the free IHG and the $89 one. I'll keep the $89 for the FNC, as I can use that at some nicer properties. I'll keep the free since there's no harm in keeping it as well. But now I need to find another cellphone protection card. I know it was the "world mastercard" offering the cellphone protection. I wonder if other cards (like the freedom flex, and the AAviator had it at one point) will be losing it too. Hmmm.
