Daily Rant

My Chase rewards card has a catalog of things you can earn once you've collected enough points. I have now earned enough for a $50 Spa Finder giftcard. I went to Spa Finder's website and the only spa in the area that was listed was Contours Day Spa. I called them just to make sure they did accept them before I ordered it. The woman said they did in fact accept them but they lose money on them so it would be better for them if I just got a gift certificate through their website (I already told her I was buying the Spa Finder one with rewards points, not money, why would I want to spend money on their site when I can get a $50 Spa Finder card for free?). If they don't like accepting Spa Finder giftcards, why don't they stop accepting them instead of complaining about it to potential clients? That made 0 sense to me. I think I will just pony up the money to get myself a massage somewhere else and pick out another item from the rewards catalog. Awesome way to lose business Contours!
