you can tie it up in a CD or use it to start an investment portfolio for some stocks or something. I would recommend one of these options if you have no credit card debt to speak of. If you do have credit card debt, especially high-interest credit card debt, I would probably recommend that you pay that off with the money you have from your tax rebate, because the interest rate on your high interest credit cards will likely cost you more per month in interests charges on the card than investing the money in a CD or stock plan will earn you. Whenever possible, it is usually a good idea to reduce the amount of debt you have. Tax rebates are usually a good way to take a bite out of that total amount.
