Find a credit card

Find a credit card

Posted on by Jack

Just a short note today as I was totally surprised by this. I was looking a something else entirely on Amazon.com. I often buy books there but also a variety of other items.

Today I was looking and noticed they had a credit card category and wondered about it. So I looked and saw a sort of one stop credit card center which lists a variety of cards and their features, including customer reviews on some cards. Easy to look by type of card or various features including type of reward (if any). I prefer cash rewards but others may prefer travel rewards or points toward various gifts. Some cards include an Amazon gift card.

If your in the market for a credit card or even thinking that a rewards card might be useful, have a look at the Amazon credit card page .

This is becoming a very occasional blog but I felt compelled to write today about credit cards and charitable contributions. The recent earthquake in Haiti has created great needs and many of us would like to help. For most of that the best way is to contribute cash to reputable charities and many will do that by credit card. Of course, credit card companies normally take a few percent. Many credit card companies have announced that they will either wave or reduce fees for this emergency. See the Huffington Post article and updates for further details.

One offer that impresses me is that the Discover card will not only wave fees but will match contributions to the American Red Cross of their CASHBACK bonus (up to $1 million total). See the Discover Card website for full details.
