| re: American Express Cards Just thought I'd drop a helpful hint here to anybody that has American Express I was actually denied today at my second day of having the card at a gas station on Bluebonnet. Raceway, I believe  Reply • Back to Top |

| They said that they did not accept American Express. Not that it was rejected. It's across from the mall. Reply • Back to Top |

| There are two places I go regularly that don't take my Amex.... A Mom & Pops Sandwich Shop and inside at Sam's Club.... I use my USAA MasterCard there If you have Amex as your primary card... Carrying a back-up card is a must Reply • Back to Top |
quote: This. I pair my Amex with the Citi Forward Visa. Pairing with a Mastercard would be more optimal for me because Sam's is weird and doesn't take Visa. Reply • Back to Top |

| Small Hijack- Does anyone use Amex savings accounts? Mint just alerted me that Capital One is changing my savings acct APY to 0%. American Express is offering a high yield savings account for 0.90% APY. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: I've carry a crappy Citi Mastercard as my backup card. They have crappy service but it has a ridiculous limit. I never use it and the balance is cleared out. Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah... My usaa card is not great for rewards but it has a 1.9% apr they keep renewing since I never carry a balance Reply • Back to Top |
| 5% back on dining, bookstores, and Amazon is pretty phenomenal. If I used a ton of gas, I would definitely get the Penfed Card. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I have the forward, too. I don't think the 5% still applies to Amazon and the points aren't the same as other cards as far as redemption goes. It can vary from less than 1% to just a little over 3% depending how you redeem, so it's not really 5% Reply • Back to Top |
| 1 month ago I got 1 cent per point on brooks brothers gift cards. I'll look into the amazon thing, but I am pretty sure I am getting it. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by Croacka on 12/12 at 12:19 pm to TheHiddenFlask I'm pretty sure I got it on amazon last month Reply • Back to Top |
You see that promotion they had for double points on travel? Hell, maybe 5 points on travel. I used it for a honeymoon I paid off.  Reply • Back to Top |

quote: If I don't go on a road trip (only my daily driving) I would probably burn about a tank a month. I have 2 tanks per month budgeted, which is close to my average. My dad burns 2-3 tanks a week. For him it would be a great deal. Reply • Back to Top |
