This year, I used rakuten via a referral, so got an extra 30$ added to the 50$ saks credit. Also rakuten has extra cash back as saks is a merchant which you can designate for cash back amex points.... so on top of the $80, I'm getting 8% of amex point currently.

Got cool swim shorts etc.
If you're into it referral below:

Go on their website or app, choose “sale” and then “shop by price.” 8,000 choices come up in the “under 50” category. You can then filter by department.

I usually use it for less expensive things like beauty (make up, skin care, etc), socks, underwear, but I also look at the sale items. Just keep in mind when you shop online and spend less than $100 you will likely have a $10 shipping charge as well.

Buy something at Saks 5th….yes typically more than 50, but shocked if you can’t find something and they do have sales throughout the year.

Just buy something you were going to buy anyways. This year I bought lipgloss and hairspray. They carry a lot of things, it’s really not hard to find something you needed regardless.

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can. For example, my firm will favor a former prosecutor who has seen the courtroom a lot but has no civil litigation experience (not even a depo) over a seasoned associate who has only second chaired cases with a partner but hasn’t tried a case. Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.
