Thank you all for helping me get this little gem.

I feel like a kid at Christmas. My head is now swirling with sugar plums of what I will get at Home Depot.  Yes I have visions of appliances.

I know it is because of your support that made this possible.

God bless you all and thanks again.

Congrats! It's so great to hit that request button...
Congratulations!!!
I remember the first one for me and so far it is exciting every single time I get one.

Awesome! Congrats on it. I usually only save up my points to get the $10 Border's cards, because I hand them out as gifties during giveaways and contests. Readers LUV them! :D

Good for you. Isn't it fun? I always get Home Depot cards. I don't know if we have a Borders around here. Home Depot works for me with all the repairs we have to do.
Kabba T. Sep 14, 2007, 11:49am EDT
Congrats! I'm waiting for my day!

Christopher K. Sep 14, 2007, 11:51am EDT
way to go Nan..im working on my second one from borders..itll go with my first one so i can actually go and buy something nice via borders.com
Ian M. Sep 14, 2007, 11:51am EDT
It's nice to have coffee at Borders and maybe purchase a book. I also usually just get the $10 ones to cover the coffee, and I guess it makes up for the gas I spend to get there. It's sometimes a relief. I'm glad you're enjoying Gather.

Congratulations on receiving your first gift card, Nan! May there be many more to follow!

I don't have a real Borders in my town, I have a waltons that converted. It's in the mall and is a very small bookstore with no coffee. I wish they would go back to B&N cards. I love barnes and noble. But I do have $40.00 in borders cards that I won in contests this will help with books for my little guy. I am home schooling him and any help with his books is appreciated. I also have to make a stop and deliver some books to a local nursery home.
My last cash out was in August. I got $100.00 in Home Depot for hubby on his birthday. Before that I cashed out in June for $50.00 also for hubby on Fathers Day. Since the points have dropped I am struggling just to get to $25.00 to get a borders card.
