Basic credit cards with rewards

One of the great thing about some credit cards are their rewards features. I have actually cashed in on many great rewards without changing my spending habits. Everything I would normally buy or pay for cash such as gas, utilities, groceries, I would just used my rewards credit card to build points.

So what have I been able to get for free from these rewards programs. I have received gift cards for BestBuy and was able to buy a laptop for free. I have also received gift cards for Apple Itunes, Starbucks, and other stores I shop at. I have also received 2 sets of travel luggage, airplane tickets, and hotel stays.

I think that is pretty amazing. I do use Discover too and usually just get cash when I get to a certain thresh hold. Planning is important when using your rewards credit cards. Discover is one of the cards that will increase their bonus points every 3 months into categories. Just check out their site in the rewards program and you will know what I mean.
