I've already reported on the 2012 cash back categories for Discover and Chase Freedom, and I thought I was done. I'm delighted to report I was not. Yesterday I got an email from FIA Card Services who manages the Fidelity Investment Rewards AMEX. As a reminder, this card already pays you back 2% on every …

If you are considering leaving your big bank, would like to go the debit card route, or want a rewards checking account, there's never been a better time than now to sign up for a PerkStreet Financial℠ Visa® Debit Card* because now there's a $25 bonus to sign up, and you know how I love …
You should have the Chase Freedom card, especially as a new applicant since you'll be eligible for the $200 bonus promotion! But, don't just take my word for it. Let's consider this card objectively: ADVANTAGES Consistently shows up in my quarterly list of credit cards to maximize the cashback you can be earning from credit cards (Q4 …
Hey readers, This just in from Amazon.com – If you are a carrier of the Amazon VISA, they're offering 10 points for every $1 you spend on all digital downloads.

At the end of 2010, British Airways was promoting a pretty incredible offer I was really tempted to jump on. New cardholders would receive a bonus of 100,000 British Airways miles — 50,000 miles after their first purchase and another 50,000 after spending at least $2,000 in the first three months. That's easily enough miles to …
Wow, 2 Marriott Rewards® Premier Credit Card posts in a row. That certainly wasn't my plan, but it is clear evidence that Chase is putting some serious marketing behind this card right now. Yesterday, I got the inset mailer offering double points on grocery and gas purchases between May 1 and June 30, 2011. The best part …
I just received my weekly e-mailer from Lowes. In it you will find a new promotion designed to get you in the store this weekend. There is a $10 off coupon on purchases of $50 or more (20% off). If you combine this coupon with the cashback categories I discussed in a post earlier this …

In it I noted that this quarter basically all the cards were competing in the same categories (e.g. home improvement). From a business perspective this doesn’t make much sense, but as we all know credit card companies don’t always …
Dear Pentagon Federal Credit Union, For years, I have been a big fan. I love many things about you, particularly your wonderful customer service representatives. However, since I joined back in 2008ish, some things have started deteriorating, and I'd just like to let you know that I miss them. * I miss when in December …

The convenience was compelling. However, there was no way I would …
