Credit card question.

I guess I just don't like the fact that if accounting makes a screw up then the bill doesn't get paid on time. It sure is nice to have the company credit card.

I just started a job where expenses are put on my personal card. I have had a SWA Rapid Rewards Visa for over a year now, and will continue to use it for my new job. Every $1200 you spend = 1 point. 16 points = 1 free roundtrip. I'm working on my 4th roundtrip in a little over a year.

 

[Yeah]

Sounds pretty good. How long do you have to use your free roundtrips?

Get an AMEX Gold for sure! Use Visa to pay for Marriott stays until that promotion ends.
Sign up for every single award program you come across. Watch them add up fast.
I have taken my family of four to Cayman Islands, twice, airfare, hotel, and meals all free because I am a points whore.
When changing a tire on a GIV costs six thousand dollars, the points add up.

a lot of places don't take AMEX.

I agree, especially in Europe. VISA/MC is accepted overseas far more than AMEX. That being said I still like converting AMEX points into Home Depot gift cards.:smash: (house fix up)

Not exactly sure - but I think it's around a year. If it goes past the expiration date, you can keep it active for $50 or so.

Our company gives us a $2000 travel advance when hired so that if accounting screws up we dont use our own money to pay the credit card bill. Using the Marriott VISA as we almost exclusively stay there. Points add up with bonus', etc.

While I'm quite capable of random thought, it's from a Holiday Inn commercial that kind of spoofs point whores.

Oldtimer--Awsome avatar! Not 'Porn star awsome' but awsome in the general/humorous sense. TC

Thanks! The doctors tell me if I keep taking the antibiotics they prescribed me, my condition should improve.

I just upgraded from the Marriott Visa, to the Marriott Premier Visa. You get 5 points for every dollar spent at a Marriott when paid with this card, plus the normal points. I charge my meals to the room, then pay with the Mariiot Premier card at the end

The promotion now includes: 15,000 point & 15 nights torward nest elite level (gold = concierge level/access), and a couple of other gimmicks.

The United card give you 1mile for ever $1. But I don't know how much they miles you need for one ticket.
