It's still very chilly so I'll cheer myself, and hopefully you, with some more photos of spring flowers in a moment.
I have just sorted out a vacation in the US and will be staying at a Marriott resort in September. Yesterday there was a letter from Marriott and I thought that it was info about the resort. No!
It was an invitation to take up a rewards credit card.
We have one credit card plus a back up credit card which we hardly use but it's there in case the main one has a problem.
We get inundated with credit card offers, and they go straight to the shredder.
How about you? Let us know because today's peeve is;
Those credit card offers are so annoying! Sometimes when you make a purchase they offer you a discount on the spot if you will apply for their card. I did that once at a jewelry store and then never used their card.
We have only one credit card these days. When I was in busines I had 2 cards one for business and one for personal use.
Before I retired I use to get credit card offers weekly. But since I pay cash for most things today I guess they finally gave up on me, or else they think I'm dead now.
Some places offer an incentive to use their own card but I don't want to screw up my credit score by having a bunch of useless cards for a short period of time.

Excellent peeve, Jezer. Lately, I've been inundated with offers for new credit cards. I actually did open one account recently, though, because I got a great discount on my first purchase. I paid the balance as soon as the bill posted, so still have zero credit card bills.
I hate getting all those credit card apps in the mail. I always shred the letters.

Want another credit card?
Not really, but we are considering one from USAA.
The credit card applications that seemed to show up daily in our mailbox have pretty much dried up for which I am thankful. Guess they got the message.
Love the flowers and I see some of my favorites in there as well: Columbine.
We have multiple cards, but use them for specific needs. Gas has been put on a business card and general on a personal card. That is going to change however, as my business card is going to offer another 1/2 airline mile per dollar charged in the near future so I will be charging more on it and less on the personal card.
And we shred offers all the time...
Edit: All cards are paid in full every month. If we ever get to the point that we can't do this (unlikely) I'll shred all of them.
