Why do I always feel so accomplished...

when I get Gap rewards?

I am like, "Yes!!! Earned $20 - I am so awesome. "

Then it dawns on me that all I really did to "get" that was to spend money and then I don't feel quite as cool.

I do the same thing! Our Stubs card for the movies has saved us a small fortune in concession upgrades and admissions, but then I realize how many movies we went to save that. I try to shop sales and get the most out of rewards. I just got a Gap blazer for $12.50 that is royal and white stripes.

That blazer sounds really cute!

I feel that way about Sephora VIB points. Especially when the 500 perk is awesome.

In the opposite direction, I feel sad that I am only halfway to my Gap reward. I would do a little happy dance if I could finally earn my reward. I just never think to pull out the card.

Thanks! I'll post pics when I get to an actual computer. I thought it was still going to be a fortune since it was so cute, but on the clearance rack.

I do this too!!! I get so excited for the rewards and when I get the letter saying I reached 'luxe' (banana card) status. Then I realize how much I had to spend to get that status and how I never take advantage of everything it gets me like free shipping/alterations. I've really got to start doing that!

This! I get super excited and then I'm like.. wow.. I really spent that much on makeup and skin care in the last few months? :-|
