[...AnyONE Use Any Cool Credit Cards?] sorry...

Looking at my first credit card...for small purchases such as gas and so on, just to kind of build some sort of credit up, or to pay for tickets on a monday while i'm waiting to get paid on friday, etc. Basically really safe because I've heard enough horror stories.

Anyways, anyone have a cool credit card that lets them like, get plane tickets free/discounted, hotels discounted, etc? Or anything interesting and worthwhile. Or do these not work like this?

    I know AmEx has a shitload of benefits, but I don't have one. I only have a citibank debit card which works fine, since I always make sure I have money in my bank account anyway.

    I have AmEx-the points are good and bad. The good- I flew to Hawaii on those points. 75000 points for 2 round trip tickets. Well worth it. The bad, using it for Ticketmaster or other entertainment. I wanted to go to see the Lion King. I thought that with 2100 points I could get a couple of tickets. Wrong. It was 200 pt for every dollar. So the tickets came up to $220, which equals 42000 points. Not a good value. There are deals but you have to look for them.

    Still, AmEx is good to build up the credit.

    I'll catch you one day! Why slide, when you can poke! :eek:

    What interests you? There's quite a few rewards programs out there these days with many interests, such as sports, nightlife, skymiles, etc.

    Hm, I guess I would have to say skymiles, not sure though. I appreciate the advice though, as I don't know anyone in person that has any credit cards with benefits and such.

    I use Alaska Airlines credit card from Bank of America. It's 1 mile per dollar and they don't expire. They also have lots of airline partners. We've flown business class to Europe and all over the US. I charge everything I can and pay it off at the end of the month. :)

    There are debit cards that give rewards. I recommend one of those over a credit card. Don't get caught in the credit trap.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
