harvey lee Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If the crdit card comapnay can give something away, one is paying for it. Nothing is free from these CC companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have a USBank account and have the Check Card with miles as well as a CC with the miles. It's $25 a year fee to use the cards. But I've also earned a ton of miles using it. I just charge everything or use my check card and then pay it off every month. I've got close to a hundred thousand miles using it. Paid for our trip to Florida a couple of years ago when we went to pick up our baby girl. They aren't "giving" it away, it's a deal they have worked out with the airline. Every $2 you spend you get 1 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy City Walleye Hunter Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I tell you guys. I have a Bass Pro Shop Visa that I charge everything on, gas, meals, etc. I have accumulated $275 worth of credit for Bass Pro merchandise and have not paid a dime because I pay my balance in full each month. Pretty sweet deal and the card looks great. Check into it. I am looking into the Cabela's Visa as well.Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've got an american express card I use for my business with 5% cash back.I kmow of alot of guys that run every purchase through these cards, and just pay them off at the billing cycle.There's a HSOforum..... I can't remember the name right now, something like creditcards.com or .... well anyways, there's 50+ cards there, and you can compare them all, and see if you want cash back, miles, gas cards, 0% interest for balance transfers, whatever you're looking for, and you can choose which one suits you, rather than try to look through all the mailings.

MuskieJunkie Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The Citi Dividends card gives you 1% back on all purchases and 2% on gas and Groceries (up to $300 per year) that is the best deal I have found and use it for every purchase I make, from fast food to vehicles.This is totally free money - no catch. Of course if you mis-use a credit card (i.e. spend money you don't have), you'll pay big time in intrest fees.I would assume the Bass Pro Shops card is 2 or 3% and if you spend money there anyway that's an even better deal.

Coach Dog Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I've had the bass pro for years now and I believe it is 1% on everything and 2% on orders from them and 4% on their brand merchandise. We usually have a couple hundred bucks every year that I can blow on outdoor stuff, Rememeber they also have the Red Head brand for your hunting gear. I've always paid off my balace. There's no annual fee with theirs either. But if your card charges you an annual fee, you are a sucker if you pay it. Just tell them you'll take your business elsewhere and they'll waive it, or at least they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy City Walleye Hunter Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yup,Again, I am a credit card companies worst nightmare, paying off the balance in full each month. I even do it on line so I save the cost of a stamp!Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyes12 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I agree,it works if you pay it off every month. I got a scheels card, I put gas, groceries, ect. on it and make sure I pay it off each month. I got $250 ready to be spent at scheels now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 As long as one pays off the balance in full each month, then they are a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sorry off the subject slightly....You guys talking about the BPS or cabelas cards, another option is the Gander Mastercard. Earn 5% rewards (best I know of) on ALL product purchased at Gander and 1% everywhere else, no annual fee. Save 10% off your first purchase with the card and get special coupons just for card members. Also, there probably is a GM within 30 mins of you at any point in the metro.

croixflats Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yea were just gonna have to bail out airlines again just because they wont charge what they should. Or they will down size and thousands of people will lose work. Just so you can get cheaper and quicker transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The way the airlines are going right now, I don't know if I'd be trying to bank too many miles. Who knows if you'll actually get to use them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Dog Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It seams everytime they get into financial trouble they "adjust" their frequent flier program. I had a NWA Worldperks account (not a C.C., just an account that I could accumulate miles with when I traveled) and I burned those miles up recently on a personal flight as I have the feeling they will "downgrade" the benefits again soon.

Central Bassman Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I will have to do some looking into the cash back cards. Them seem to be a great deal. I have also been looking into the BPS or cabelas cards aswell. Good information guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleShack Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I also just heard on the news that one one airline (not sure if it is Delta or...) that they are charging $50 to redeem the fequent flyer miles now. kind of takes away some of the incentive now....?

Vexipro Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Cabelas card is the way to go- but as with any credit card pay your bill of in full at the end of the month. I have been putting all my bills, plus gas, etc etc on my cabelas card, i think i have close to 100$ worth of free stuff at cabelas coming!i dont remember who said but they were right, the free stuff isnt always free. Somewhat right, SOMEONE is paying for my free stuff at cabelas, but it isnt me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggs222 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I bank through US Bank and have my check card through cabelas. I get around $75-$100 a year in free stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I bank through US Bank and have my check card through cabelas. I get around $75-$100 a year in free stuff. Probably from all those taco house tacos you are buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
