    It's stupid because coins suck dick. And I pay with $1 bills all the time; so does anyone who pays with cash.

      Also, even the best credit card reward programs don't exceed the rate of the merchant's fee... and that's assuming if every single person is spending in such a way to maximize the return.

      There's nothing wrong with admitting you learned something new. It's not like we're competing for anything here. You said something. It was wrong. Big deal.

            You're in Chicago, right? Try Bronzeville.

              How about the southwest suburbs? I won't drive more than 15 minutes just for sex.

                I was talking about penny candies. Candy is awesome. Candy that costs a penny is the holy grail.

                Fare cards don't taste good at all.
