For those of you who know me, you’ll know that I like things organized. Like, really, really organized. Like Leslie Knope organized.

So it would probably not surprise you to learn that I meticulously track how many points Nick and I earn. It’s one of those things that lets me quantify how we’re doing in the points game and keeps tabs on my accounts (p.s. if you haven’t checked out Awardwallet, I highly suggest you do!). I dunno, I like numbers, sue me.

In any case, this is the long-winded introduction to reporting back on how many points Nick and I were able to earn in the first quarter of 2016. So far this year, we’ve earned a collective 187,156 points, from three credit card bonuses, organic spend, and shopping portals. How does that break down?
