Sometimes I just laugh at the credit card "Special Offers" I get sent in emails.

Like this morning checking my emails I had an offer from American Express for $120 in free Uber benefits. This struck me so funny because I live in the middle of nowhere rural America. The only delivery service we have is the US post office, Fedex, UPS, or Amazon and 90% of the Amazon deliveries are passed onto the post office for the rural delivery driver to drop off.

So, what would $120 in free Uber get me, the local Amish only take cash so that leaves them out, and the Ohio Dept. of Transportation snowplow guy only piles snow in the mouth of my driveway off of the state route. So what would I Uber? LOL

A man we knew a few years ago would collect offers like that or:
20p off a box of 500 teabags
10% off your meal when spending over £50
Free parking after 6pm
Free gym session for you and 3 mates
Free will writing
Etc
All stuff most people throw in the bin. But he was that tight he'd put a selection of these in a recycled envelope and give them to people for birthday and christmas presents.
