Discover, The Card the Pays You Back®, paid us back. We spent $20 of our cashback bonus on a 10-Rental card from Blockbuster. The last time we did this, we seemed to notice that it rented a lot more than the number of movies the card supposedly got us, but we didn't pay close enough attention. The card eventually did not work, but only after it expired.
There's all kinds of info the store is supposed to put on the back, and all kinds of supposed restrictions; but they never fill it out and they never look at the restrictions. We've rented more than one at a time (forbidden), we've rented from more than one store (forbidden), and we've rented on more than one account (forbidden with extra not-allowed-pants on). We're now up to movie #14 on our 10-rental card. I think it no longer works on my wife's account-store relation, but I think we'll prove successful with it at account-store#2.
UPDATE It's true. Account_store_rlt #2 resets the card. We are up to movie #16, with a ceiling of 40 rentals. There are at least three more stores in the area, making a potential rental tally of 100 rentals. Not too shabby.
