First of the gift cards arrived, so I spent it all at Amazon
I leverage my good credit by signing up for credit cards, getting $100 rewards after the first purchase, then canceling the cards. I just got a Starwood Preferred Rewards card that I'm going to ditch for sure, and I got an Amazon.com gift card in the mail yesterday.
Normally, I'd have gotten a reward that would benefit the household, then trade it to the household at a discount for actual cash (nobody hands out gift certificates to Time Well Spent, sadly enough). The reward selection was not as big as I was expecting. I almost traded it for Continental miles, since at some point we'll need to travel again, but there's a cash excise tax that you have to pay when you do that.
The Fiskars stuff and card stock is for board game crafting, and I bought Ubongo because it's cool. There was a They Might Be Giants exclusive, but Amazon went out of stock in the last week, and doesn't know when they'll get more.
