Looking for a New Rewards Credit Card

Author: Paul

13 May

Chase has decided to abandon the Chase Freedom credit card as we currenlty know it. No long will they be allowing 3% back on your top three most used categories and 1% back on everything else. They are also ditching the extra $50 dollars for waiting to cash out until you get to $200. The changes go down on June 30.`

This is a major blow to my strategy for making the most out of my rewards credit card. This is also going to upset my wife because she will have to change the card information on all of our automatic pay accounts (mostly utilities). Is anybody else paying off their card every month in order to reap the rewards? I will be scouring the web but hope that some of my readers will have clued into another good deal on rewards.

This is the second blow to this card.
When I signed up it was a 5% back.
Now it is just like the discover reward card.

We have the Citi Primier Pass. We got 10,000 pts just for signing up which is a $100 gift card. You earn pts for your purchases, we do the same ya’ll we’re doing,pay off every month and earn rewards!. Points go toward “Thank You” network. Check out thankyou.com to check out the rewards before you sign up. Has worked great for us! citicards.com

This stinks! I’ve been using this card for over 2 years and have made some decent returns, especially adding in the extra $50 when you hit $200 in rewards. Please let us know what is the current best card!

Hey Paul…this has been several years ago but I was on clark howard’s radio talk show asking about cash reward cards. He referred me to cardweb.com. I just checked and it sends me now to cardtrak.com. maybe this will help…good luck..
