I use my card for EVERYTHING and very often I get these 'bonus dollars' to spend. Last month I got $90 to use and this months $100. These are not related to the points earned from what I can see, and they can not exchanged for cash.

You get these too?

Do you have the 'World Points' card?
Anyway, this stuff is attached to the payment envelope. Some months there is a selction of DVDs or CDs, other times there is cheap crap gadgets and others there are software like encyclopedias and stuff.

I think I get something like that from them too. They're pretty useless though, I think 1000 points buys you something like a coffee maker.

I am not talking about the points you earn for spending. I got $200 in cash from them. This looks like something different.

I have eliterewards which may be world points now, I'm not sure. I always throw that enevlope in the garbage, often without even opening it. Maybe I should look in it more :)
My CitiBank cc gives me up to 5% cash back, I'm loving it
That's the one in the mail for me :D

Do tell. I have a MBNA Barnes & Nobles CC and all I get is a lousy $10 GC after I spent $1000.
