Just saw a commercial for the Buy Power Credit Card. Apparently Chevy, GMC, Cadillac and Buick have teamed with Capital One to make a credit card that, every time you use it, earns points that can be applied for a new car from the 4 brands mentioned. While it reeks of being a big scam, I am somewh…

“I guess that will just leave me with saving money” Totaling the rebates on my Subaru MasterCard, my Costco Amex card, and my Citibank Visa card, I banked ~$1,200 last year. In my book, that equates to saving…

I imagine it’s just another “rewards” card like your Alaska Airlines Visa or your Delta Skymiles Visa that give you miles for air travel for every so many dollars spent, or the Shell Mastercard that gives you cents off per gallon for every regular purchase you make using that card, or the Discover c…

I prefer getting cash back, miles or a car discount are too restrictive for me.

I had a Shell card for years that was fuel only with 5 cents off per gallon. About 12 years ago as I was filling my car the attendant informed me that my current card was being replaced with the new Shell MasterCard and handed me an application. I had a VISA with zero balance and really had no desir…

I guess I’m with missleman. I will never, just out of plain stubbornness, use a credit card for rebates, etc. I understand I could get maybe a thousand or two a year but I’m not going play their game. Many a financial life has been ruined with these things being so easily available. I know peopl…

Its a gimmick of course,there is always pressure on you to use that card that gives peanuts back,kinda like using Manufacturers coupons-Kevin

How can it be a gimmick? Like VDC I pay our balance each month and receive money for using the card. I also have a cash reward program for paying bills on line.

Another thought-Credit cards do make great emergency cash-My Boss likes to use His GM credit card, as much as He spends,it does give him a pretty good down payment-Kevin

I use a CC for just about everything, and get no perks with mine, although theres no yearly fee. I like that it gives me a little bit of time or a safety net, should an emergency come up and I need cash. It also especially helps if you buy things online and theres some sort of discrepency, or someone uses it fraudulently, youre protected.
