Gasoline, groceries, drugstores, restaurants – you name it, my Amtrak card gets used to pay the bill. Buying groceries gives me at least 700 points a month and gasoline a few hundred more! My AT&T phone bill alone gives me over 1200 points per year. Regular old purchases add up if you use the card for all of them.

There were no cell phones. There were no online saving or bill paying services. You physically went from store to store (or called on the phone) to compare prices and products. Gasoline stations did not serve food, have coffee or provide bath rooms. There was no internet. There were no personal computers. Go Frugal'
