Travel Reward Credit Card

[bnlbebes]

Does anyone have or use a Travel Reward Credit Card that you would highly recommend? Currently I have and use the Disney Visa (1% back for Disney purchases), the MilesOne card (earn $100 toward airfare at any website or travel agent for every $9000 spent), and the AirTran card (free one-way ticket anywhere they fly for every $8000 spent). I like each card for different reasons, but would like to cut back to at most two. I was also considering applying for an American Express Blue card or Orbitz Mastercard. Anyone familiar with those?

If you can give me any insight into the cards you like to use, I'd appreciate it.

we use the Southwest Rapid Rewards Visa. we've had it since october and have already earned a free ticket!

if you fly southwest anyway, this is a good card. it takes 16 'points' to earn a free ticket. you get 1pt for every $1200 charged on the card. add in the points earned by flying southwest and you can accumulate a free ticket pretty quickly.

we charge everything, i mean everything on it, then pay it off at the end of each month.

Picking the "best" card is so subjective. Do you fly frequently on any one airline. How much do you charge on average in a particular month? Would you be willing to move other items to your charge card spending if you would pay it off each month? Can you charge your business expenses to a card? How much of an annual fee is to much?

Have you ever thought about a card that you earn cash instead of awards. Sometimes rewards are difficult to use on airlines. It may be easier to use a cash rewards card (Bank One issues a no fee one) and save the cash to put towards a ticket.

Are you specifically loooking only to fly to WDW? What airlines service your home airport?

I have a Travelocity cc. The interest rate is 12.99% no annual fee and for every $8000 you get $100 credit to be used for travel on their webiste. I think it's 1 point for every $1 charged and 3 points for every $1 in finance charges. So far in the past year I have 1 $100 credit and close to a 2nd.

So far so good. No prblems. I also just got an offer from Worldpoints M/C 5.99% fixed and 1 point for every $1 no annual fee. So we now have that also.
