The Best Credit Cards
Deals, Tips
Want to be rewarded for your shopping? There are lots of credit cards out there that will give you cash back, airline miles or even donate to a charity just for using them when you purchase things. Check out the best credit cards for rewards.
Gas Discounts
The days of being forced to purchase one brand of gasoline in order to qualify for rewards are over. With the Chase PerfectCard Credit Card, earn 6% rebates on all of your gas purchases made at any gas station for the first 90 days. After that you’ll earn a 3% rebate. On top of that you’ll get 1% back on all of you other purchases. But with gas prices soaring, that will add up quick.
Money for your Mortgage
A credit card helping you pay off your mortgage? Sounds a little strange, but that’s exactly what the Citi Home Rebate Credit Card does. Every day purchases will give you a 1% rebate towards your home mortgage principal. You’ll earn a 6% rebate on utilities, cable television, or Internet connection. This works with any mortgage and there’s no annual fee.
Hotel Stays
With the Hilton HHonors Platinum Credit Card you’ll earn five HHonors points for every dollar spent at the Hilton family of hotels, as well as other qualifying purchases. Use your points to redeem free hotel stays and travel packages. With your first purchases you’ll receive 10,000 points– that’s enough for a free hotel stay.
Air Travel
Free flights sound pretty good right now. With every dollar you spend using the Capital One No Hassle Miles Ultra- For Professionals, you’ll earn two miles. Redeem your miles for free flights on any airline. There are no black out days or seat restrictions, but there is a $39 annual fee.
Charitable Donations
Charities cash in when you use the Working Assets Visa Signature Credit Card. When you buy gas, Visa will plant a tree and make a ten-cent donation to alternative-energy groups. With all other purchases, a ten-cent donation will be made to progressive non-profits. Plus you’ll get six free pints of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream after your first qualifying transaction.
