WaMu just gave me $125 for free, what should I buy?

mrgoochio · 10-19-2009, 11:37 PM

In an attempt to get some actual legitimate answers, I've decided to post this here (which was also posted on another car forum I frequent, which also unfortunately accumatively adds up to about a 4 year old's IQ)

Anyways:
WaMu sent me a letter a month or two ago for a $125 bonus for setting up a direct deposit account or making (5) purchases using my checking account. This offer was only available to limited people and somehow one was sent my way. I assume I was qualified for the offer because my account has been inactive for more than 6 months and they are changing all of their systems into Chase pretty soon. I've been out of the country so my account was inactive with only $20 in it, but now that I'm back I was planning to start using it anyways. Long story short, I made (5) purchases on random fast food / beer and $125 was credited to my account.

I already have money and don't need anything in particular (and if I did, I would have already bought it), but $125 is a nice small chunk of change to spend on some fun. What should I spend it on?

Here are some of their bright ideas:

At least you got the money - you only have 4 days left before WaMu goes bye bye. When they changed over here in TX, my (ex)wife lost the amazing interest rate on her savings account, so this offer probably would have gone away this weekend.

Pay off something you owe money on w/ interest building - if none of that, blow it at a strip club.

Spoolin335 · 10-19-2009, 11:53 PM

i would have said hookers and booze...

but an M1 sounds pretty cool. haha

Noc57 · 10-19-2009, 11:57 PM

Hookers and beer.

Get a couple lap dances, or just spend it all on beer. Just don't cum in your pants bro

...Though last time I went to a strip club, absolute disaster. I was trying to give her a $10 bill, ended up sticking it exactly in her ass crack....which was bad.

Offer was limited time (until end of last month, just had to redeem in-store before then) I was allowed about 60 days after I redeemed my offer to make the (5) purchases or setup a direct deposit. Anywho, WaMu's systems are all converting to Chase, although I'm not sure what policies are changing etc. I don't pay attention to them (although I've gotten multiple notices with all relevant information) because I only have a simple checking account I use to keep small amounts of cash for little online purchases and what not.

And yeah, I don't have any payments that haven't or aren't already being paid. Strip club isn't necessary, I'm in a situation where I don't have to pay for the goods

+1
I was earning a modest sum from interest on my savings account. But now, after the change...why do I even have a savings account?

mrgoochio · 10-20-2009, 04:38 AM

edit: hmmmmmmmmm thinking about the bmw aluminum pedals and m door sills.......... they look so nice.... shiny......

fdsasdasdf · 10-20-2009, 09:40 AM

Save it.

UncleWede · 10-20-2009, 01:00 PM

125 chances in the CA lottery, or variations on that and scratchers. That person you referenced above about the free goods might enjoy some scratching on a boring night.

(If you hit, a bit of a finder's fee would be nice)

mpimping · 10-20-2009, 02:42 PM

Its like pocket change bro. Play 1-2 nl

GordonShumway · 10-20-2009, 02:44 PM

Give it to charity. There's a lot of hungry people out there.
