Get a free $20 Discover Gift Card instantly by spending $200 on your Discover Card at select malls from November 1 through December 31, 2006. Just take your receipts totaling $200 to the customer service desk of any of the participating malls to receive your Discover Gift Card. You can get up to 5 gift cards per account. Link via SlickDeals.
All Discover cards should be eligible for the promotion, including some good cards I’ve mentioned before - the Discover Miles card and Discover Platinum Card which are both offering 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases for 12 months, along with no balance transfer fees for initial balance transfer. More details here (opening bonus with the Miles card).
Now, I don’t have to tell you bright folks that spending $21 more than you would have otherwise to save $20 is not a smart thing to do, right?

You can then go with those estimates or enter in more details for a more accurate analysis. The tool then calculates your home’s energy consumption and potential energy-saving ideas. You can even choose a specific payback period and they will only give you recommendations that will be profitable within that period.
