Credit Card Rewards Strategy session

This post will be growing organically.

Here are some suggestions on how to maximize your credit cards rewards:

For grocery, drugstore and gas station purchases, Citibank offers 5% rewards, either in a cash-only rewards program or a rewards program (Thank You Network or Thank You Redemptions or something like that). You can have both type of cards. You can't complain with 5%! There is an annual cap on your total rewards per individual credit card.

Chase has a new creative idea for their Chase Freedom card. They have fifteen (15) categories of purchases. Each month, they calculate your top three categories and give you a 3% reward on those purchases. Everything else earns 1%. The categories are computer-calculated for every statement. You have a choice of rewards or cash. You can switch between the two choices once per month

American Express has special mail-in and email offers to receive double points for purchases until August 31, 2007. This means your Amex Blue or Optima purchases earn 2% instead of 1%. Not bad for things that don't qualify for higher rewards in other cards.

Discover's Get More program offers featured rewards that change every quarter (every three months). These earn you a flat 5% reward on those featured purchases regardless of your regular reward percentage status. The 5% reward has a cap per quarterly promotion

As always with all these, make sure you read the fineprint!

Borders Rewards 20% coupon via email

The latest email from Borders Rewards has a printable coupon for 20% off purchases at Borders Stores. The coupon has fineprint, and be sure to read it. Membership rewards is free and easy to sign up and you can keep track of those rewards online.

Other offers advertised in the email are Buy 3 Get 1 Free, select DVDs and CDs for $10, including 8 mile, 8 women, 12 monkeys, Apollo 13, the original Battlestar Galactica pilot, Bourne Identity, Bruce Almighty (not to be confused with Evan Almighty), Bridget Jones, Dr Seuss, Conan, Fast and Furious, Friday Night Lights (the movie, not the NBC TV series), Jurassic Park, Monty Pythons, Mallrats, Meet the Parents, Peter Pan, Pillow Talk, the Return of the Pink Panther, Seabiscuit, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, SNL (Saturday Night Live)compiliations, Saving Private Ryan and a lot more.

On the $10 music CD promo, includes select albums by Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, 20th Century Masters, Jill Scott, Herbie Hancock, Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and more

Also if you participate in Discover Card's Get More program you can get 5% flat cashback on Borders Bookstores purchases until the end of June (you have to sign up for the Get More program, but it is free to sign up and you can sign up online, no need to even call the toll free number, unless of course you want to do so).

Free 1 year financing from Panasonic Direct

If you like to buy direct from the manufacturers, Panasonic Direct is offering free one year financing on select massage loungers and the core trainer. These and more at Panasonic Direct. Also free shipping on all purchases regardless of this offer.

AMEX Rewards Point Advance!

American Express boldy goes where no other credit card rewards programs have gone before. Based on your account history, you can now take rewards points advances so you can get your favorite reward faster. If you do not acrue the advanced points within 12 months, then AMEX will charge you the price of the points at the going rate of the advance. Or something like that. This sounds like a brilliant idea if you are close to getting a reward, or you have special promotion points that may be coming up in a couple of months, but can't wait to get your hands on the reward. Brilliant idea American Express!... As always read the fineprint.
