So remember how I was perplexed on how I got rejections from both Chase AND US Bank for new cards?
Well, I guess I assumed wrong when I got the message "you'll hear about our decision in 7 - 10 days via mail"
Because guess what I got in the mail today? My new US Bank card! With a ridiculous (good) credit limit.
I've got my rewards categories all set up. Now I just have to get my electric, gas, trash and cell bills all transferred over. 5% here we come! (Not to mention the sign on bonus ) I wonder if the one I signed my DH up for went through too (with his go ahead). That'd be sweet.

I got my first interest from my new 4% CD (at the Christian Community CU). That'll be nice having $2500 earning 4% for the next 18 months. I need to get direct deposit set up soon though for the checking bonus.

I did a Pinecone survey, and nudged Karen about the shopping Amazon thing. Hey, it's an easy $3, and I need to find the $'s wherever I can.
---
I can't remember if I mentioned this here or not - but I signed up for a Stepbet starting tomorrow. My previous six week returns were all between $9 - $20. I should be able to complete two, or possibly three between now and the cruise.

I bought some sticky socks to use in the barre class. I may try it on Monday or Wednesday. (They were $2 after my Amazon gift card from Bing.)

I was supposed to go to a small group potluck this afternoon. I even made a big pot of veggie/bean soup to take. But then I realized that it was being held at an assisted living home, so was worried about how many people might be there ... and chickened out. Sigh.
Sometimes I can get myself out to events, but more often than not, I decide to stay home instead. I wish that wasn't so. Sigh.

4% on CD is fantastic! I expect we'll be seeing rates continue to rise.

I hope rates continue to rise!
Rob - Me too. I don't want to be that way, and *usually* when I make myself go I'm glad later ...
