Perkstreet Financial, the online bank with free checking, is looking to help their customers with their New Year’s resolutions (and their taxes)!
Here are their 5% cash back categories for January 2011:
• 5% Cash Back At Gyms: Memberships and purchases made at the gym, such as personal training sessions
After all of the holidays you might be tempted to look down at your waist and see what the damage is (what with all of the parties and food you may have eaten). The next step you take is to resolve to get fit and lose weight in the New Year. When you sign up for that new gym membership (which you will actually use, right?), use your Perkstreet debit card and beef up your finances as well as your body.
• 5% Cash Back On Weight Loss Programs: Add smart eating into the New Year! Get tons of cash back on Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem programs
Maybe you want to lose a few of the holiday gifts you acquired around the waistline at all the parties and dinners you went to? Using your Perkstreet debit card can help you save money (with 5% cashback) while you trim off the calories and weight.
• 5% Cash Back on Tax Prep Solutions: Get your taxes done right (and early) with tax prep help from H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, Liberty Tax Service and TurboTax Online.
Physical health isn’t the only resolution we tend to make this time of the year, fiscal health (your money) is also big on most resolutions! Start the tax season off with an extra 5% cash back when you use your debit card for tax preparation solutions.
I love how Perkstreet makes their 5% cash back categories practical and fun for the season!

I bought my first ever gym membership in advance of the new year’s eve resolution. How’s that for planning?
And I won’t say how many times I’ve used it since purchasing it.
Sounds like a good start to the year. Make sure you use it. Going 2-3/week can yield real returns (I kinda miss the gym).
Thanks for the tip! Fortunately, I have a home gym, but it is a good offer atthis time of year.
A home gym is great. I think I’m going to work on setting one up this year.
The offer isn’t just for a gym though. If you plan on using tax prep software then you can earn a 5% cash back there.
