Just spent 58k on IB at office supplies.  :-[
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

If you spend 50k in an Office Supply Store, Chase doesn't get suspicious?

I am embarrassed but I'll admit it.  I thought the spending threshold on the nfl card was 2k but it was really 3k so I didn't get my bonus. :(
No one to blame but myself.
