http://www.greatfunonline.com/ membership card entitles you to discounts at Carmike, Cinemark, Regal and AMC\n\nBuy.com had a promotion with them that gave you a $25 rebate on any purchase if you signed up for a trial membership. First month free, after that they charge you monthly until you cancel. Probably worth it if you take advantage of all the discounts.

The following offers represent the top 10 credit cards for consumers with a "bad credit" rating.  In addition to quick and easy approval, many of these cards also feature monthly reporting to the major credit bureaus, which in turn can help cardholders rebuild a positive credit rating.\n\nFirst PREMIER Bank Gold MasterCard

You can check here:\nhttp://www.edealinfo.com/creditcard/\n\nThe most popular ones are Citi Dividend Platinum Select MasterCard and Chase Cash Plus Rewards Visa Card.  Both have no annual fees, 5% cash back on grocery stores, drug stores and gas stations, 1% on other purchases.  The only difference is that Citi Dividend has a $300 limit on cash back per year.\n\nHaving too many cards increases the possibility of identity theft and stolen credit cards, and most likely you will lose check of them.  You don't really need specific credit cards for specific stores/purposes if you don't spend that much on them, because the benefit difference is not that much.

The Credit Cards take a percentage opf your purchase for themselves (typically 1.5-4%).  They will pay the business in a few business days, allowing them to use the money for investing for a few days without interest; kind of an interest free loan. more here....\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card

It depends what you want.  To generalize, the four different cards associations have different market positioning that can be summarized as the following:\n\nMasterCard/Visa: Greatest worldwide acceptance\nAmerican Express:  Good for frequent travellers and affluent customers\nDiscover:  Good for customers wanting cashback rewards.\n\nHowever, what really matters is the loyalty program that you get attached to the card.  This depends on the bank that is issuing the card, not the cards association.  You can find a cashback card that is branded with the Visa logo, the MasterCard logo, the Discover logo, or the American Express logo.  The deal given by the bank is what you should use to determine what card you want.

I love American Airlines and CitiBank's card:\n\nAadvantage Mastercard\n\nI earn 1 mile for each $1 and they have a million more ways to earn miles.\nWe put EVERYTHING on this card, including groceries, gas....and it pays for us to go on our family vacation about every other year.  We don't even have to save for vacations anymore!\nTwo years ago we went to Hawaii and it paid for our airfare and hotel.\nThey have remarkable service, too.  They call whenever there is any questionable activity to ensure that no one has taken your number and charging on it.\nHighly recommend them!

4 cards.\n\nCitibank Mastercard - no balance.  Pays back 5% on gas, supermarket and drugstore purchases, 1% on everything else.  I get the maximum $300 cash back out of this card every year.\n\nChase Mastercard - no balance.  Pays back 1% on everything.  I usually get $100-200 cash back on this card every year.\n\nWescom Credit Union Visa - no balance.  I only use this card when I travel overseas because it doesn't have a 3% service charge for currency exchanges like the other cards I have.\n\nChase Visa - carrying an $9K balance at 0% interest (introductory 1st year offer).  I took out a $11K cash advance (cost me $75) and put the money into a CD paying 4.75% interest.  When the year is up, I'll pay off the card and keep the interest earned.  Net gain: $447.50 before taxes.\n\nBasically, once you get out of the hole, credit cards can be a good tool for generating extra money on stuff that you're going to buy anyway.  The main thing is to keep tight control on your spending.  If you can't afford to pay off the card every month, you probably shouldn't buying the item.\n\nMost people make the mistake of believing that credit cards stretch their money because they can buy things they can't normally afford.  But that's a mistake.  The reality is that you not only have to pay for whatever you purchased, you also have pay interest on top of that.\n\nCredit card companies offer deals to lure people in.  The key is to make those deals work for you, instead of falling into their trap.  The company will lose money on you, but they don't really care because they'll more than make up their losses on you by profiting from those who get can't control their spending.  So take control of your life and get yourself out of the hole.  You can do it and once you do, you'll be amazed at how much extra money you'll have because your earnings are not being dragged down by interest payments.\n\nThere a bunch of us money geeks who discuss this stuff all the time, so much that one guy started a Web site for such discussions.  There's no membership, no fees to pay, nothing being sold.  Just a bunch of people talking about how to save money and invest.  Check out the link below and if you have questions, don't be shy.  Feel free to ask anything you like.

Either would be OK if you need another credit card. I would check the benefits of any card before I just got one.

E Top Up cards allow you to link the card to your mobile phone and add values of 'Top Up' to your pre paid mobile. It depends whether your friend has added any top up to this card or whether it is empty.\n\nSee www.vodafone.co.uk for more info.

Avoid this one like the plague as well.  It's a racket, it isn't a real credit card at all.  They only thing you can buy is overpriced junk from their catalog.  For that dubious privileged they charge you for the "card" and charge you a monthly fee.\n\nSave your money.  It isn't going to help your credit in the slightest.\n\nAnd yes, you will have to pay a shipping fee as well for items you purchase.

Most Banks will give you a secured credit card if you open a savings account with them. They usually hold your savings for one year then determine then whether to release the savings back to you or hold it for another 6 months. You can also increase your limit by adding money to your savings, which most banks will match dollar for dollar. I got mine through Bank of America.

Definately use the corporate card.  You're putting your personal finances at risk if you use your own.  What happens if you charge your travel expenses and the company goes out of business?  You're stuck with the bill.\n\nDon't fall into the trap of using a personal credit card for any kind of bonus (cashback, travel miles, etc.).  I believe the risk of using a personal card outweighs the potential benefits.
