You can use the rewards calculator at this site to see which credit card will pay you the most frequent flyer miles rewards (or other kind of reward) for your spending profile:

Using that calculator, the American Express Blue Sky card looks quite good for travel rewards (for my spending profile). But there are other cards that would pay me even more in cashback, etc.
If that's a FICO score, you might qualify for a reward card but it won't have a good interest rate. Use the card and pay the balance in full and the interest rate makes no difference.
However, if that's Vantage score, it's probably not good enough. TransUnion and Experian sites give you Vantage scores (scale to 990 vs FICO's 850).
SUCKER……….!!! I bet anyone that wants to do this is thinking that right not.
this happend to me! UGH!
@janoleolsen dam! lol
Well, thats one way to get back at credit card companys; run them into dept!!!
Why not start a credit card bank? Charge 30% APR, get 10,000 clients with a balance of 5000 dollars each, and the bank makes 10,000 x 5000 x 30% = 15 million dollar annual profit! There will be expenses, but they won’t be 15 million… 1000 people investing 5000 each makes enough to start a bank. And if the bank makes a 10M profit, your 5000 dollars owns 0.1% of this. Typically a company with a 10M profit is worth 100M dollars, 0.1% of 100M is 100,000 dollars – a very good return on 5000
alot more people know how now hahaha
What does your WRITTEN CONTRACT with your neighbor say? Oh, no contract? Consider that lesson #1.
You apparently had a 'verbal contract' with your neighbor. That contract apparently did not include interest payments. So, don't pay them. He can sue you in small claims court, but no judge will support his position – unless he has something in writing.
Your neighbor "gained" from this transaction by 'earning points'. You do not owe him interest payments, unless you agreed to them in the first place.
Final lesson – NEVER mix your finances with other people. NEVER.
@janoleolsen good luck getting 10,000 clients though.
danG!!!!! dat dude is so boringggggggg!! aLmost fell asleep!! :^/
Cmon boring…
I have run into this before and the reason they were so vague with you is that almost every place has its own policies. Corporate just gives guidelines.
I have rented cars in Chicago and had $300 holds placed on my card. I have rented in Las Vegas and no hold has been placed, only a verification swipe. I have rented in Dallas and a $50 hold was placed. Same with hotels. There is no rhyme or reason.
You can check with your company about overpayment (my credit card company won't accept overpayment as a way to artificially increase credit limit…your limit is your limit, period) and if you don't want to ask for a temporary increase, the best I can offer is to set aside your credit card for holds only and use your debit card for gasoline purchases/meals until 24 hours have passed. Then you can contact your card company and find out exactly how much was placed against your card as a security hold from both places.
