What are some credit cards that you can earn points (or get $$ back or whatever) on? I know there are ones for airlines . What other ones are there (and any links of you have 'em)?

Thanks!

Amazon.com VISA from Chase.

These days you can find "point" cards from just about anywhere. Just check the websites for retailers or programs you're interested in and there will probably be an ad. Chase sponsors a lot of them.

So does CitiBank, Julie. www.citicards.com Their rewards card is really good. It is diamond preferred. On their web site, click on rewards cards. It will display them all, then you can compare on 1 screen.

I have a CapitolOne Miles One card. Love it. Have used it for many flights. No airline restriction and no black out dates.

Mamapors, could you give me a little more info on the Miles card? Do you get a mile for every dollar you spend? It seems like it would take ages to build up enough for a free flight (for the international flights I take you have to earn 50,000 miles) so I've always assumed they don't help much. How does it work?

about a month ago, i heard on the news that one can pay their taxes with certain credit cards. you earn rewards. i never knew you could pay your taxes with a credit card. there are some rules, so you need to be careful and understand the terms.

i don't remember which cards they suggested. i just googled the information, and this is the first site that came up:

https://www.pay1040.com/enjoy/default.aspx

(i have no idea if the site is reputable. this was not part of the news report).

Kitt,
Yes one mile per dollar. I am not a credit card person and carry no balance. But I do use it for big purchases, purchases that I then pay off. College tuition, taxes, furniture, etc. It does add up fast. And the way MilesOne works is that you only use as many points as the tickets costs. Incentive for you to get a good deal. You make the reservation, use the credit card, and if you have enough miles, they take the charge off the card. There is a multiplication factor of 80 for exactly how many points you need. For a $100 ticket you need 8000 points. And so on. I love it.

Ah that makes sense, I couldn't work out how they could avoid the black out dates. But I understand now. Might give it a try, thanks for the info!
