Seems a little wrong

Seems a little wrong

We recently purchased new cell phones. We now have the capability to text message. Yes, my last cell phone was produced in the last millennium.

Anyway, with our new cell phones, we received two $50 rebates, and we were quite excited to be getting $100 in the mail. We had big plans to put it in the bank because we don't like to hemorrhage money.

The rebates arrived last week in the form of a credit card.

You heard me.

A credit card.

Not a debit card.

Not a check.

A credit card.

In fact, it was two credit cards. Purchase two phones, get two rebates, in the form of CREDIT CARDS.

The credit card expires in September 2008. So, while I have my $100, my cell phone company is controlling the purse strings. In other words, the cell phone company is saying, “Here's you're money, but we're not giving you the ability to totally control your money because you're totally irresponsible. And, if you go over the $50 per card limit, we'll add that balance on to your next phone bill.”

What a bunch of bitches.

We considered purchasing a new wagon for Toddler Kaos. But we're not going to be able to split the cost between the two credit cards.

We're going to spend it on gas for our vehicles.
