【ガソリン代】出光で全額楽天ポイントで給油し409円が返金される、英検1級でる順パス単（0522～0541）

3月に出光カードまいどプラスを発行してから、ガソリン代は全額楽天ポイントで支払うようにしています。

【ガソリン代】3月の楽天ポイント獲得実績と出光カードまいどプラスと全額楽天ポイント払いでキャッシュバック

そして、一昨日、出光カードまいどプラスを使ったときに得られるリッター当たり割引分、409円が銀行口座に振り込まれました。

本当は先月末に振り込まれるはずだったのですが、銀行口座の登録に手間取ってしまったため、今月末のキャッシュバックとなりました。

最近、原油価格が上昇して、ガソリン代も上がっているので、家計には非常に助かります。

ただ、ガソリン代の原資となっている頼みの楽天リワードで獲得できる楽天ポイントは、今後も改悪が続きそうなので、いつまでこの状態を維持できるかは全く不透明です。

そして今日も、英検1級英単語ですが、休日なので20個です。
