Check into rewards programs and cash back offers

Once you get into a rewards program, you want to look around and kick the tires.  You might not even be aware of all the different ways to get those points rolling in.

Some people think just about the regular rewards programs, but you might have access from other sources.  The big banks might offer some cash back or rewards programs.  

You are already buying stuff in the real world.  Getting some of that cash back with your credit cards and debit cards is a great idea.  Just by using your card and using the program.  This is like a no brainer.  

The one thing about some of the rewards programs are the expiration dates.  They might not last for a long time and that can suck.  

Check to see if your bank accounts and debit cards are eligible for cash back and rewards.  Just think about some of those tasks that you are going to do anyway.  

Are you going to the pumps to fill up on gas?  Sure, the gas prices are already low, but every extra penny of savings is still great.
