Sword Points Explained
What started as a joke is now a reality. I guess that adds credence to the saying, "Be careful what you mock, it might . . ."
No, wait, that's a different saying.
Success Warrior Reward Points are now worth something. No, they won't help you pay off your mortgage. No, they won't help you pay off your student loan. You can't cash them in for airplane or movie tickets.
On the other hand, you also don't have to pay 14% interest to earn them or pay late fees, over the limit fees, transfer fees, pay by phone fees, talk to a person fees, paper billing fees, or an explanation of fees fee.
You don't have to pay for them. They aren't free but they don't cost money. They cost effort.
From time to time, points will be awarded for actions related to this blog. Currently there is a 5 point bounty for articles submitted and used on this blog that show something crazy about the world of finance. 25 points will be awarded to the person that wins the Success Warrior Slogan contest. Submit suggestions for a saying that sums up Success Warrior Coaching in the comments section. On June 9th, voting will open and the winner gets the points.
What can you get? The first person to earn 100 points will get the shirt right off this hottie's back.
The current score will be displayed in the left sidebar under the heading Sword Points.
I decided to shorten down the name because that seems to be the current trend in our text message world. You just have to be "with it" enough to understand what the secret codes mean. "You don't know what TMNT means? Do you live in a cave?"
So SW reWARD Points, with a minor spelling change becomes Sword Points and ties in very nicely with the name and logo for this blog.
You could probably sell the shirt on eBay and use the proceeds to help pay down your mortgage. If you win enough of them, you could save thousands in interest.
Or you could just wear it.
Do you have a signed release from that blonde hottie to use her image and likeness in advertising images on your blog? Does she understand that this is an implied endorsement of you and your wacky ideas?

No and probably yes. She has gotten used to the wackiness. It's normal to her now.

Can we get frequent flier miles with these Sword Points, please?

I'll see what I can do.

Totally belated and off topic, but I thought I'd already linked you.
I've added you to my blogroll.
Be well.
