What's this "Black Friday" you humans speak of? It is the Day after Thanksgiving Shopping Tradition. Stores offer all kind of sales hoping to get people who took Friday off into their stores. It used to be years ago that stores opened on Friday morning.. then it was midnight and now it is just ridiculous.. A lot of stores opened at 6pm on Thanksgiving with sales. It's insanity... and the sales aren't really even that good. |

What's this "Black Friday" you humans speak of? What you want to participate in is "Cyber Monday" ginger. Here are the best stores and the best deals for Cyber Monday. www.cbsnews.com/news/these-10-stores-will-have-the-best-cyber-monday-deals-in-2017/"No matter how hard you study up for Black Friday, come Saturday there will probably be items you haven't checked off your wish list. You're in luck! At many retailers, Cyber Monday is like Black Friday, round two. These 10 stores hosted Black Friday-caliber offers last Cyber Monday. In fact, some retailers actually beat their own Black Friday deals. Read on to see where you should be shopping. Amazon Best For: Everyone and everything. With Amazon being a ubiquitous one-stop online shop, it's no surprise that Cyber Monday is one of its biggest shopping days of the year. Last year, 31% of the deals we saw on Cyber Monday and the Sunday before at Amazon were hot enough to be marked Editors' Choice. Those discounts covered everything from toys to electronics to clothes, but many were short-lived lightning deals. Best Buy Best For: TV doorbuster shoppers who didn't find what they wanted on Black Friday. Last year Best Buy had an abundance of deals, and nearly 70% of them were Editors' Choice picks. Look for TV deals nearly on par with Best Buy's Black Friday sale, as well as great prices on smartphones, Amazon devices, video games and consoles, and home automation.". There are 8 more stores with their best deals...just go to the link. |

I'll echo @justbec 's response...not having to shop! I'm an Amazon Prime member and I signed up with Ebates for other stores like Walmart (for stray kitty food), Petco, Ace Hardware and a ton of other stores. In 8 months I have gotten 93 dollars back from Ebates. Still for MOST things you can't beat Amazon BUT they can be very high on some things so I always check first. |

I too have an Amazon Prime Membership. I have done well with Amazon and with the Prime Membership. Very well. I charge most everything and pay the balances in full when due...usually thru auto pay. No interest and no chance of a late payment. Never charge what I cannot afford. Charge for many other reasons including to build an excellent credit score. I rack up whole lot of points on my cards because of this. I use these points at many places, Amazon at the top of the list. |

Um, Yeah I pay off my balance in full every month on my Amazon Card and on my Mastercard and my credit score is almost as high as it can get.. so not really sure what your point is.. been a Prime member since they came out with it.
As for Cyber Monday, nope just another day for me. If I need something I will buy it, regardless of the day.

My point is though I charge almost everything I do not carry balances and therefore pay interest on my cards. I also never go higher than 30 percent per card.
I get all the advantages to using my cards and none of the downside.
Only use checks to pay co-pays for MD visits. There I know they will not get lost in the mail, a very easy way for me to glance at when my MD visits were and to whom plus I always keep 2 bank accounts...use the second bank account to write the checks off and the first to pay everything online.

MOST people with common sense do that. I haven't had an overdue balance on anything in 35 years.
