Which one would you cash out for ???

Here is my question:

Long story made longer


I have cashed out for a little over $300 dollars in disney gift cards in the past 7 months or so give or take.... for a trip that i dont even have planned yet.....

So fast forward and about 4 months ago we got a new puppy!!!! Which we knows what that means.... yeap you guessed it..

So my question is

1. Would you cash out for another disney gift card ?

2 or would you cash out for say like target to get a carpet steam cleaner.

3. just pay for a carpet cleaning service out of pocket and still cash out for disney gift cards

or

4 cash out for neither and just let the cash ride .... haha since i know we will take a disney trip sometime this year

or

5

any ideas would be great




OK SO I MESSED MY POLL UP SORRY I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO EDIT THAT!!!!

Carpet cleaner. Mainly b/c I really want one, but never seem to have the cash on hand to justify it (especially since we only have carpets in two rooms now).

When we had our cat I would have LOVED to have such a thing.

So I'm voting for the steam cleaner. Much more sound option than to pay for renting a steam cleaner every so often, too.

Thanks molly.... that's kinda what i am leaning toward

I went with other. I think you should cash out to Paypal so that you would have cash to do whatever you need. Stuff for the puppy and also some savings for your trip. Best of both worlds.

I voted for the steam cleaner too. Sounds like you really could use it right now and you don't have a Disney trip planned.

I went for the Disney gift card. I would rather splurge and use SR $ for fun stuff that I'd never justify otherwise - it does a lot for me on cold, bitter days like this to look at that pile of gift cards and know that they'll be used someday for a trip where I'll see palm trees! If I would start using SR $ for household expenses, I just know that I'd never go back to cashing them in for Disney.

I chose the Disney Gift Card. It is one way to assure you are saving for your trip. However, I would definitely shop through SR for your Steam Cleaner and get the extra credit. If you have a Walmart near you, I'd do in-store pick-up and save the shipping.

I voted for the steam cleaner. It is one of those things you probably wouldn't go out and buy for yourself but if you spent rewards to buy it you wouldn't feel so bad about it.

I agree! It's still 'free' money! and who says 'free' money only has to be spent on something fun. To me if it's money that doesn't come out of your budget, even for something 'serious' is still pretty AWESOME. I would say 80-90% of my cashouts have been for Disney, but sometimes I have needed to get clothes for the kids, or a birthday gift for someone, but am short on general funds in my checking account.
