Say It Isn't So

Hubby and I shop at a chain grocery store because of necessity. A reward is cents off on gasoline purchases. We have been known to rush up to make needed purchases just before month's end so that we can utilize the discount. Well, for a long time, we have noticed that the amount earned toward cents off has fluctuated. And not long ago we had enough for two fill-up discounts only to find out that they had been used. My inquires have been unsatisfactory in a solution. Yesterday my husband called the company headquarters and got the answer. Seems as if the company has linked two of our children to our account, even though they do not live with us and got their discount cards separately, all the numbers are different. We have all been earning points (us more than them), and they have been using the discounts at the pump. Go figure. Merry Christmas, son and daughter.
