The challenge is 1/4 over, so I tallied everything up to see how I'm doing.
Bank Bonuses ($900) - So far I've received $175, with another $200 outstanding. I didn't do a new one in March and probably won't in April. Instead, I'm cleaning up some accounts to get myself organized.
Books ($360) - Ebook finally came through with all of their payments. My new total in this category is $136.33. Half.com alone won't be enough to reach my goal of $360, so I think I'll try ebook again, though cautiously.
Rebates ($120) - I've received $89 so far, so I'll easily surpass this goal. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this category is working for me.
Recycling ($100) - $1.95 so far. Should I even bother listing it anymore?
Other ($520) - $226.93 so far. The gift cards from the trial memberships really boosted this total.
Daily Savings - $69.01 - I added this category last month and don't really have a target. The key is actually transferring the money I save when using coupons, forgoing something, etc.
New Total: $673.22/$2000
Outstanding items: $100 (Citi bonus 1), $100 (Citi bonus 2), $2 (Chandon rebate), $5 (GG Rebate), $10 (Barber coupons), $15 gas vouchers (PNC), $2.20 (Eckerd March), Walgreens Mar (?), RiteAid Mar (?), half.com (?)
