Just what I need, another account to keep track of!
But it seems like the sale prices at some stores never get really interesting unless you can also take advantage of the extra discounts they only give to their charge customers. I've noticed this at Kohl's and Boscov's in particular.
I was getting the microwave at Kohl's anyway, and also had to pick up a birthday gift for my MIL to give my mother. And that was bringing it pretty close to th amount you needed to spend on your Kohl's charge in order to get $10 in Kohl's Cash. It seemed like a good time to go for it.
It ended up that the microwave, a summer purse and a bathing suit coverup cost me a total of $47. Without doing the deal, the microwave would have been $38 anyway, so basically the purse and coverup together came to $9. Not necessities, but things I've been looking for a long time, and I'm glad to find them for $9.
Anybody have further suggestions on store charges that are worthwhile to have because of special offers for charge customers?
Why I just opened a store charge, and may do so again

I don't know if there's one in your area, but Value City Department store is another such retailer. They won't price match but they do have a store credit card, a rewards card, and if you sign up for email alerts you get email coupons.
