I received a card in the mail offering a free hotel stay in Brown County along with $150 in cash. The fine print said it was a promotional offer, but I wasn't sure what the scam was. Offers like this are sometimes tied to timeshare pitches, or they might require you to sign up for a service that charges you every month.
In any case, nobody is going to give you $150 in cash without a major catch. I threw the card away.
Lately, I've been thinking, "There's always a catch." I don't just mean promotional offers — it seems to me that most things in life come with hidden downsides. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but it feels like that's true more often than not. (For example, several things I've bought have broken within a year or two.)
