Here is the details of the trip I made today, and I did so great! I was excited. I was excited, and mad at myself. I was in a hurry to get home and so I wasn’t paying as much attention to the details as I should have. I ended up doing one big transaction, thinking that I wouldn’t have enough, and I came to find out that if I had just bought one more thing on my list, I would have been able to break it into 2 – $25 transactions.

    Hi. The reason you would want to do two transaction is so that you can split it up into about $25 purchases and the you can take advantage of the $5/$25 coupon. This will help decrease your overall cost. Another good reason to do this is so that you can roll over the Up+ Rewards you get from the first transaction into the second transaction, so that it brings your total out of pocket cost down.
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you any other questions.
