How Do I Earn 5% Back With Blue Cash from American Express?

Posted by Anthony Jackson at Dec 01, 2010 | No Comments »

Q: How can I earn the most cash back with my Blue Cash from American Express card? How much do I have to spend, and what should I buy in order to earn these rewards?

A: The Blue Cash credit card from American Express is just one of those offered by the company that provides cash back rewards. It is possible to earn as much as 5% cash back on purchases that you make every day; it doesn’t have to be just special or one-time purchases. Every day purchases include motor vehicle fuel, groceries, and items bought from drugstores.

This doesn’t mean you can’t earn cash back rewards on other purchases. They can get you as much as 1.25% cash back.

You’re not limited as to how many cash reward points you can earn. The more you spend, the more your cash back rewards will be.

If you want to earn cash back quicker, spend more than $6,500 on your Blue Cash card. This wi Read more…

Choosing Between Student Credit Card Offers

Posted by Andrea Lewis at Nov 27, 2010 | No Comments »

There used to be thousands of student credit card offers out there, all competing for clients. College students just had to walk on campus, fill out a form, and presto: a brand new credit card, no credit check or history required. These days, though, things aren’t so simple, and credit card offers are fewer and further between.

What happened?

There are a number of reasons that student credit card offers have slowed over the past year or so. The main two, though, are the economy and new federal laws involving credit cards, primarily the Credit Card Reform Act. While the Credit Card Reform Act is generally a good thing, it has made it harder for students to get credit cards.

In the past, companies were pretty reckless with student credit card offers. They knew most students would make a strong effort to repay their debts, that they’d accumulate a lot of debt, and that their parents would help them out.

PNC Everyday Rewards Visa Credit Card Review

Posted by Anthony Jackson at Nov 27, 2010 | No Comments »

Verdict: The PNC Everyday Rewards Visa Credit Card has a lot going for it: It has a generous and flexible cash-back program, low purchase interest rate, introductory offer of 0 percent interest and no annual fee. But if you charge a lot every month, you might find yourself losing out on some potential cash-back rewards checks. That’s because this card puts monthly limits on the amount of cash-back bonuses it will pay you no matter how much you charge.

Overview: Like many rewards cards, the PNC Everyday Rewards Visa uses a multi-tiered rewards system, meaning that you’ll earn more cash back for certain purchases and less for others. The card also comes with an introductory interest rate of 0 percent for nine billing cycles.

How This Card Works: Every time you earn at least $100 in cash-back points, you’ll receive a check for that amount with your next statement. You’l

A special events insurance coverage is a basic requirement for almost all special events. The process of organizing all events can be quite disturbing at times, and you must ensure that you protect yourself against all eventualities by taking out adequate insurance.

This policy is entirely appropriate for a wide variety of special events and is essential to any business occasions. Special events insurance is ideal for the infinite range of private and public events, social occasions and summit talks. Read more…

Verdict: Though it’s not at the top of its class, the Alaska Airlines Visa Business Card is still a good choice for the business owner who travels often. And the good news is that these owners don’t have to settle for traveling to Alaska. Business owners can redeem their mileage points for travel on both Alaska Airlines and Horizon Airlines. All told, owners can redeem their miles for flights to 700 destinations.

Overview: Like most airline cards, the Alaska Airlines Visa Business Card allows cardholders to rack up miles at two different rates: Cardholders will earn them faster when they use their cards to charge purchases made with Alaska Airlines. They’ll earn them at a slower pace for all other charges.
