Yeah, I remember Green Stamps.

Sometimes these little premiums come as a pleasant surprise. My wife and I do our banking at a credit union, and they give "points" for various kinds of transactions.

We've been banking there for years, and we'd forgotten all about this. Then a few months back, we got a notice from the C.U. that we had amassed about eleventy-forty-thousand points and if we didn't use them, we'd lose them. They also sent us a catalog with the notice. So we browsed through it.

Our television set was a little 13" jobby that we've had for years. We retired that to another room, and now we have a gorgeous new 26" flat-panel, high-definition TV with all kinds of neat-o keen-o features!

Didn't cost us a cent!!
