So now that I have been at this game nearly 8 months, I find that companies call me and offer bonuses. This is nice! Today I got called probably five times from MSC's. One wanted me to attend a health seminar for $30. Well, it's downtown on Monday, and I wasn't thrilled. Also, Seattle had an unusually unexpected and bad snowstorm, so I haven't been out to shop, just to go to my regular work with hubby driving me in my dad's car with the snow tires.
So I was about to decline, when she offered $10 more so up to $40. I hemmed and hawed, another $5 thrown my way. Finally, I said, I'll do it for $50. Done! And another purchase and return computer shop last week that is usually $25 (too little in my opinion for putting a $800 computer on your credit card and then going through the embarrassment and hassle of returning it the next day), was upped to $50. There was a message about if you have had a previous bonus, we will match it. Well I did one at $50 a couple of months ago, but I asked for $75 and got it.
