Coupon-Palooza...anyone else?

I have an extraordinary number of coupon points that are pending right now. I just counted 130 coupons worth (1300 points), plus a 25 pointer for redeeming 10 or more in one month. Do you think it's because stores hang onto coupons and mail them in to be reimbursed quarterly? It's a shame, because I should have a lot of 25 pointers pending, not just one or even two. Those coupons have been spread over several months.

I noticed the other day I had several pending. I'm not sure how many though. I wondered the same, since I have not redeemed any of the printed coupons for a few weeks.

I had been really happy with their coupon program UNTIL I noticed that the redemption stuff sucks. They've changed the monthly bonus and even that isn't effective because they don't show up when you use them. They show up whenever the heck they show up. Now I just print from coupons.com

It's hard for me to turn my back on 1300 points. Cuz that's almost a $10 card right there in addition to my coupon savings.

Oh, I wasn't meaning You were wrong to do it. Just that it's not worth the frustration for me. I kept getting so annoyed that I decided I'd rather have my calmness than the giftcards.

But, I do that from time to time. I try different things and stay with the stuff that's easy and makes me happy, and drop the stuff that's annoying. It's not always the big money makers that make me happy. But I'm doing all this mostly for enjoyment, rather than truly after it for profit.
