7/10 My credit card company which gave Amazon rewards just went bankrupt.
What's a good Visa/MC rewards card out there? And no, I don't intend
on buying a GM car.
\_ (MBNA linuxfund). no it's not just for linux it's for all open src
but opensrcfund doesn't sound as sexy. It's by MBNA and has one
time credit card number generation.

shitty Discover or American Exp. oh yeah no fee.
\_ And these certificates are good why? They're basically virtual
credit card numbers. How many sites let you use multiple credit
card numbers on a single transaction?
\_ I think I'm going with this card to replace my Amazon card:
http://csua.org/u/6a
It gives 1% (not up to) back on "certificates" supposedly good
anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Also it's mastercard and not
shitty Discover or American Exp. oh yeah no fee. actually it sux nm.
Anyone heard of "stockback" card? 1% back as cash in an account...

\_ AmEx black. ~$2k/year, but rewards = assassinate a third world
\_ Darn! What happens to the $200 worth of rewards I have
accumulated?
\_ Fuck, me too.

\_ Yahoo visa. No annual fee. Point good for books and merchandise.
\_ i use citibank mc AA which gives american airlines miles. they
have an annual fee but i usually charge around $3,000/mo so
$75 off any ticket with just 7500 dollar spent. $39 annual
fee.
so i get a free RT domestic ticket every year. -uctt
\_ you should try orbitz's mastercard. Cheaper annual fees
and you can claim miles on all major airlines. You get
$75 off any ticket with just 7500 dollar spent. $39 annual
fee.
\_ There is a Citi Bronze AA World Mastercard with no annual fee
available by solicitation only. Miles are capped at 25K a year.
\_ There's a citibank dividend card that gives 1% cash back, but you
don't get a check until you reach $100. There's also a bank of
america "banking benefits" card--you can use 10 points to get a
certain increase in interest rate of cd's or whatever, or $10
credit to your account.

\_ TD Waterhouse investor's prime card. You get 5% off from
selected online vendors (e.g. Amazon), plus a free trade in
your brokerage account for every $2000 spent.
\_ Nextcard? If so, I am also using it, but haven't heard
anything about it becoming invalid.
\_ Nextcard just went belly-up, which is probably why the person
was asking. I'm in the same boat, leaning towards the http://buy.com
card. I wish http://amazon.com had a credit card like http://buy.com. -eric
\_ what about the yahoo card? -tom
\_ Shell MasterCard/Visa is good. Also American Express Cash
rebate is good if you want cash back. BofA used to have a
cash back Visa card but I heard they don't issue new cards
anymore. Call them and find out. I still own a BofA cash
back Visa card today.
\_ REI Visa gives you 1% cash back (but many months later) if you
are a member. http://www.reivisa.com
\_ Isn't that only spendable at REI? (I have one.)
\_ You can ask for a cash dividend if you want. It doesn't
come until July, but it's cash.
\_ Quicken Card (actually by Citibank / Traveler) ain't bad.
Spend $8000 and get $100 towards purchase of airline ticket
through their travel agency. They pretty much give you
the same ticket price as what you can find on the net.
Card service was much better than NextCard.
\_ I had a bunch of amazon credit card points I hadn't redeemed
yet and yesterday when I tried to redeem them it said they
were out of stock, but it seems to be working now so get your
points out while you can!
\_ thanks brothah
\_ I think I am one step too late. :( |
