In my last transaction I bought some scotch tape to put up christmas decorations at my house. It was a product I needed and would've bought anyway but the fact that I did transactions before and earned ecb meant I spent almost the same amount of money I would have for the tape, but earned FREE STUFF!

I ended up with $16 in ecb and paid $1.84 + tax OOP & $8 ecb. In reality, though, I didn't make much profit because of the tax on almost everything (bayer meter, etc.).
