I am going to be doing some traveling this year. Its hard to get hotel rooms, rental cars, etc. with out a credit card. I currently have a Chase Card with Continental I use for traveling purposes. It helps build 'miles' on my Continental One Pass. However I want to get another card or two. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best credit cards? Either extremely low interest, bonus points, rewards, or other benefits? Thanks!
I like discover. Use it all the time. You do get cash back, but not 5%. They have promotions though where you can sign up online and get 5% on a specific purchase type for 2 months or something. Recently it was groceries. That was handy.
if you're going to use it internationally, go with a visa or master card. they're accepted in more places than discover.
Doesn't anyone listen? Visa, it's everywhere you want to be. Even Morgan Freeman said so. Morgan Freeman!
I like American Express's rewards. You can transfer points from them to Continental, or use their points for other things. I'm playing right now with the iPod Shuffle I got through their rewards program. I think you have to make sure you pay the card off on time in full though to earn points. I always pay it off in full though on time... so not sure on this one. I have a Chase MasterCard I haven't used since I got the amex card. To cover all bases, my debit card is Visa.
HSBC Platinum Direct Rewards....5% cash back on drugs, groceries, and gas...1% on everything else. www.accountcentralonline.com is the website that i see my stuff on, i assume u can apply on-line there too.
