My husband purchased a gift certificate to a local salon with Smart Circle, when I tried to redeem the certificate with the salon, they (the salon) told me that they were not offering those services, but I could call smart circle and get my money back. When I tried to call smart circle, I talked to a customer service rep, and they told me I could not get my money back because I was 30 days from my expiration date and I had to be 60 days so they could only exchange it for something else. Nothing else they offered compared to the certificate I got. When I asked to speak with the supervisor, I was told she was busy and would call me back. Two days later I called again asked to speak with the supervisor and was told she was not there. I just tried to call again and she was not in yet. When I asked to speak with the person over her head I was told they would not give that information. I was then told that since my certificate expired tomorrow I was taking a chance in waiting to talk with her. BEWARE OF SMART CIRCLE! I would NEVER buy anything from The Smart Circle.

They are great way to take your family or girlfriend out. Really. No problems whenever I go. I use them for ATL Braves and Atl Hawks. I thought is was to good to be true. I used them. Now I am hooked. I look for them every year. I have used the Smart Circle Cards. They are great way to take your family or girlfriend out. Really. No problems whenever I go.

They worked perfectly for me. There are a few catches though, 1st you can't call ahead and reserve tickets, but you can go the the ticket office window at the stadium and use them to get tickets to any future game. usually I try to plan ahead and when I go to a game I go ahead and get tickets for a future game, that way I know before hand that I have seats reserved. It's a great deal, if you use the tickets. I think alot of people purchase them and never use them and that's how they make their money.

What a Great Way to Eliminate Additional Debt Posted on April 23, 2008 by Brett Bittner In one of the few breaks of my workday /sarcasm, I came across an article that I think I can add to.  If you don’t carry enough plastic to charge up every item you come across, you will keep yourself from spending money that isn’t yours, or that you don’t have yet.  I like the simplicity factor in organizing my life, and I find that having fewer options to pay for something really keeps me from saddling myself with additional debt. Take a gander at this story on Lifehacker, and the story that inspired it on Real Simple and consider how much you could save if you didn’t carry all 32 cards of plastic evil, and how much of a positive factor that will be in reducing debt via the Debt Snowball.

]]> Comment on On the Cheap - Buying a Gun by Brett Bittner http://commoncentsforeveryone.wordpress.com/2008/03/15/on-the-cheap-buying-a-gun/#comment-123 Brett Bittner Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:04:37 +0000 http://commoncentsforeveryone.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-123 I think that the price was excellent for the purchase, but I would try to buy from someone that ALSO has a store and a guarantee, especially if it is a used gun. Gunsmiths on site are also a plus. They will sell to anyone that passes a background check that day. There is a fourteen or so question survey to determine your eligibility before the call they make to check your background. The only license they require is your driver's license or other ID to verify your identity. My main purpose in the post was to highlight my friend's ability to get the price he wanted to pay, as well as shed some light on an oft-overlooked industry for some co-workers of ours that are also interested in guns.
