Re: Odd Balance "Left Over" From A Holiday "Gift Card? HERE IS WHAT I DID WITH MINE

  Hi WGT Community....

  I just thought I would throw this out there - might be "helpful" for someone to hear this.

  As we are now into February, I just realized that I had a "left over" small/odd balance remaining on a VISA Gift Card issued by a major bank  that I received during the holidays.  (Originally my gift was $100 to spend - so I used MOST of it to make purchases in retail stores etc).

  This morning I realized I had a $2.04 balance "left over" from my purchase remaining to be spent.  WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH 2 Dollars and 4 cents?  Most commonly I would forget about it and end up lugging the card around in my wallet for the next 6 months forgetting about it completely.

  INSTEAD OF THAT....Well - I just went into "My Account" and purchased 204 WGT Credits with it.  No idea what I will spend it on on WGT yet BUT it will be far more useful than carrying around unspent in my wallet for the next 6 or 8 months.

  Maybe this will help someone else find a use for an odd balance on a Gift Card.  It is just about the time of year when many others of you might have used up all but a small portion of a giftcard so I thought this made sense to post.

  NOTE:  I prefer not to slide down a slope into a discussion of "Why should a person give WGT Money?" - There are plenty of other threads about that debate.  This suggestion simply for those who CHOOSE to do so.  

  Thanks,

  AtlantaCoaster

  AC, I here you're quite good. As such, what I'd do is enter 2 Ready-Go's (your 2 best of course) and try to 'double your money'. Keep doing this until you have enough credits to buy some good clubs (if it works in the first place).

  That's basically what I did when the RG's came out.   At the time, I had 150 credits.   Dropped 100 of those credits into a Kiawah front 9 RG and I've been rolling since.

  I am responding to my own posting from last year to bring it "current" - it is a good idea that is relevant this time of year.  Read my original post up above.
