I've been doing the credit card rewards hacking for a while now. I keep most of the cards open after getting the rewards to season them for tradelines, so you get to a point where the pickings get a little slim when looking for new cards with decent bonuses. I had some expenses coming up, so I started looking for cards. I received a targeted offer from Regions (I opened a checking account with them for the bonus) that was good for $150 cash back after $1000 spend. Car insurance for six months is $846, so that will cover most of that spend. I saw that Citi came out with a new Aadvantage card with no annual fee, so I applied. You get 10,000 miles after $500 spend. The second half of property taxes on one of our rentals is coming due, $493 - spend met! I wasn't looking for other cards, but I had a targeted offer in my email this morning from Bank of America for a business card - $200 cash back after $500 spend! Whaaa...???? Can't pass that up, especially considering the class my daughter is taking at the community college eats up that spend quite nicely (I think her tuition total was just under $500). So, not only do I get 10,000 miles on American, the cash back is enough to pay for 4 tires and installation on my car! It doesn't help with Mrs. Ducky19's assessment of me being a credit card whore (over $300,000 in available credit at this point), but I call it a win!
