I recently got rid of all my Credit Cards because theyre pretty much the devil.

I was looking at getting a AMEX Gold Rewards card. Supposed to give you alot of points for travel and I've seen a few posters talk about all the free travel they get of their rewards card.

Just wondering if it was worth it cause I could filter everything through that card. Get travel points. Profit.

That's what I do. I've amassed 250,000 Delta Skymiles since 2005. Would be stupid not to get a card with good rewards.

Just make sure you find a card that offers you something in return close to that annual fee.

The Dela Platinum made sense because a) we usually fly delta, b) bag fees waives, and c) using buy one get one free we always book a flight more than the $150 annual fee would have been. Like a $300 flight to NYC.

I've used a gold card for business purchases for years and have traveled quite a bit off of points. I pay it off every month. As far as transaction fees, my understanding is they're much more competitive than they used to be as long as the seller has billing address and 4 digit security code.
