I've found with most of the rewards programs, if you work out the value of the points you're accumulating, it comes to be worth about the same as the money you'd get back with the average cashback program, and with the rewards programs you're limited in what you can spend them on.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Kathy, is it your birthday?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Kathy day!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want a card on which I'll put any large amounts and pay off that month. My low APR card does not have to be the same one as the rewards. In fact, the one I'll probably never let go is the one that intermittently offers 0% APR on balance transfers. I never buy anything on it, since the purchase APR is insanely high, but it's a nice place to tuck balances for a couple months.
I like the idea of Value Miles -- tempting, tempting.

We're having odd internet issues here at work. We can't get on IM, can't send emails, can't access any websites...other than this one.
That's fate's way of telling me I'm not supposed to work today, right?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Happy birthday, Raquel!
Discover doesn't actually send you the rewards anymore--they tell you "you've earned this much!" and then you have to actively redeem it. Which I... haven't done for a few years, come to think of it. I should go do that.

Yep, the big 3-9. Almost as bad as the 29th for me, but not quite.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have a miles card (AAdvantage). 60,000 miles flew me & Bob to Jamaica.

I also have a Delta AmEx, for Delta miles. Obviously, the down side is that it is limited to Delta flights.
