Spell "Omaha"

[snubbyfan]

We use our Discover card for as many purchases as we can. That way we can build up our cash back bonus then use it for an Omaha Steaks gift card so we can order meat.
I went to order a gift card today and told the young lady that I wanted an Omaha Steaks gift card.
She asks, "how do you spell that?"
I ask, "spell what?"
She replies, "Omaha."
I reply, "transfer me to somebody else."
Luckily, the next person was literate enough to spell "Omaha."

 

[boykinlp]

I bet Peyton Manning know how to spell it.

 

[sheepdawg]

While Jim wrestles the man eating crocodile I'm reminded.

Marlin Perkins could spell it too.

You should have been in the back of a Buick when the Southern Iowa driver was in touch via OnStar getting directions. The non-native speaker at the other end said, "I see you are in Dess Moaness" (that was how it sounded). The trip went downhill from there.

We received Omaha steaks as a gift several times.
I thought they were way over rated and priced.

I go to our local Randalls and look for the half off steaks when they have been sitting for more than a few days. I can usually get a really nice 1lb ribeye or strip steak for $6 or $7. The way I look at it, aged beef is better, and cheaper. Cook them up on the Old Smokie and they are as good as any Omaha steak I have had.

Marlon: "Here's Jim about to crawl into the Condor's nest to count the eggs".

"Here's the mother Condor unexpectedly returning to the nest."

"The female Condor has amazing lift capabilities."

"We'll be right back".

If anyone gave me a gift card for Omaha steaks I'd feel obliged to thank them with a fruit cake next Xmas.

Damn, that's hardcore.

About a year ago I almost got run off the road by an obviously impaired driver behind the wheel of a large truck. I get behind the guy and call 911. The operator, who sounds like he's about 20 years old, asks me to describe the truck. I tell him it's a large stake truck. He says, "Omaha Steaks?" I'm guessing the kid didn't know how to change a flat, either.

When I think "Omaha", I always go to this scene:

I always figured their target market was more large cities in the east/southeast U.S where quality beef was harder to come by.

If you live on the plains or in the western U.S. where there’s a ready supply of corn feed beef, not such a big deal.

How has this morphed into who can bea... BEST Snubby's meat?

Cash back bonus on a CC.

Spend $1000.00
We will give you back $10.00
HTH see’s that as a bonus.

Its a money making gimmick for the CC companies.

That $100 OMAHA gift card only cost you 10k what a DEAL.


Pay off and close CC and buy the things you need want CASH.

Oh please. Ease up on the "...doing it Dave's way..." spiel.

I use a CC regularly, purchasing fuel and maintenance items I would buy anyway. I pay it off every month, actually twice a month.

It's MUCH more convenient than carrying thousands of dollars of cash (Standing at a diesel pump with a Class 8 truck takes a bit of intestinal fortitude).

What's the difference if I pay with a check from my desk ?

The points are merely a bonus. I use them for gift cards that I either give away as gifts, or use for gun stuff.

Snubby, enjoy those steaks!... I used to have an air miles credit card and you had to argue to use those points on the flight you wanted. These days, I don't travel much so I have a LL Bean credit card. I pay it off each month (no interest that way) and I get free LL Bean camping gear, clothes and shoes that don't cost me a thing... I'd have to buy the items charged on the credit card anyway (gas, veterinary bills, etc) and I fill in my wardrobe a few times a year, free... Great backpacks for the grandkids this time of year-always, quality stuff. It's all good as long as you don't overspend on the CC and pay your complete bill on time.

The persons gifting you the steaks must have spelled Omaha wrong when ordering.

It’s a Cardgame, U S Customs Aircraft callsign and an Indian Tribe.

next time tell them to contact me... or look up:
Mutual of...
Warren Buffet
College World Series
origin of the Reuben sandwich
butterbrickle ice cream
and there is that beach in France
the list goes on
born & raised in the big "O"...
and yes for those of us in the fly over zone
the steaks are expensive.. but still good meat
for those outside the
"we know what a cow looks like area"
they should be a treat
went to a fancy steakhouse in a big coast city...
they were very proud ($$$) of the steaks...
when I asked... they said Omaha steaks...

 

[Kurusu]

Omaha, huh?

Yes I know of a Town in Nebraska that goes by that name.

Also know about a beach in Normandy that was given that name in 1944.

My salute to all who landed there.

Edit. To be fair. I will have to extend my salute to those on the "receiving end". "dogfaces" are Universal. They don't do the "politics". They just get to do "their best", bleed and die. Some get to return to their families. This is not PC, I'll admit, but it's honest.

C'mon. Quit pulling my leg. Everyone knows there's only one fruitcake- it just gets passed around year after year.

 

[Muss Muggins]

I had a former boss in the late 90’s who paid for everything, and I mean everything, with his Discover Card. Paid it off every month, so no interest. His cash back reward check at the end of the year had a comma in it. He was massively unhappy when Discover wouldn’t let him buy a new truck one year, even though the dealer took Discover and his credit limit could handle it . . .

If Jim had done a cameo appearance on "Star Trek" he would have worn a red shirt.

 

[mtgianni]

I average $750 back on the Costco card and pay it off monthly with never carrying a balance. It costs someone but not me.
