If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for new ways to use your reward credit cards. Well, here’s an idea…
Why not pay your taxes with a credit card?
I know what you’re thinking… There’s always a surcharge associated with using a credit card to pay your taxes. Right? Right. But in the case [...]
This is was a pretty hot deal for anyone looking to make some big purchases in the next few months… Unfortunately, the offer has since expired. It’s been replaced with a 20% bonus on your cash back earnings for the first twelve months.

This is an interesting question, and one that I’ve thought about quite a bit in the past…
According to the Wall Street Journal, the IRS hasn’t issued much in the way of public guidance on this matter. The IRS did, however, issue a private letter ruling in 2002 that said certain card rebates are not considered [...]
This is just a quick note to let you know that American Express is currently offering a couple of nice signup bonuses…
For a limited time, if you apply for the Amex Preferred Rewards Gold Card you’ll get 10,000 bonus points, which can be exchanged for a $100 gift card, after your first purchase. Alternatively, if [...]
According to the February issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, the top three cash rebate credit cards are:
» Blue Cash from American Express
» National City Everyday Rewards Visa

The rewards follow a flexible 3%/1% structure wherein you 3% cash back [...]

Are you in the market for a cash back reward credit card? If so, I highly recommend Blue Cash from AmEx. This card offers one of the most generous reward programs out there, and there’s no annual fee. For the first $6,500 in annual expenditures, you’ll receive 1% on “everyday” purchases (gas, groceries, and drugstore [...]
The other day I wrote about taking advantage of your free annual credit reports, but check this out… According to The Consumerist, minors cannot access their credit reports online. It’s not that minors don’t have credit reports, it’s just that requests to review them have to be made in writing.

As you probably know by now, you’re entitled to receive one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion).
To do this, simply go to annualcreditreport.com to claim your free credit report(s).
But instead of getting them all at once, consider checking just one at a time, and [...]
