New Credit Card Rules Coming Soon, to the Benefit of Cardholders
I read this Reuters article tonight about new credit card rules that may soon be effective. There aren’t many details, but from what I read, it could be a good news to consumers. According to the article, the Federal Reserve, along with other two federal agencies, will vote next Thursday on new credit card regulations [...]

Fidelity Retirement Rewards American Express Card: Shop & Save for Retirement
As I mentioned many times, one of my favorite cashback credit cards is Fidelity 529 College Rewards Card. I like the card because I get flat 2% cashback on every dollar I spent. No category. No nothing. The best part isn’t just the cashback. It’s that the rewards are automatically invested in a Fidelity 529 [...]
Citi UPromise Will Be Bank of America UPromise
I received a letter from UPromise yesterday, announcing the change of ownership of the UPromise credit card.
The card, which I have been using since 2002, is one of the tools that I “shop & save for college.” Currently, UPromise is associated with Citibank, but in a couple of weeks, it will be associated with Bank [...]
FNBO Gas Rewards Credit Card Gives You 3% Cashback on Gas Purchases
Looks like the 3% cashback from Chase Freedom card is a thing of the past.
Though you can still save 3% on gas purchases with AMEX Costco TrueEarnings card (BTW, you get $25 statement credit if you open a new account), the problem with AMEX card is that not every gas station takes AMEX. I’d rather [...]
Citi Closed My Dividend Platinum Select Card
A couple of days ago, I received a letter from Citi, informing me that my Dividend Platinum Select card will be closed soon due to inactivity after a routine account review.
It’s true that I haven’t used that card for a long time. In fact, I didn’t even active that card since they decided to upgrade [...]
Chase Freedom Card: No More 3% Rewards?
Credit card companies are downgrading their rewards programs. Chase Freedom Card is the latest card reducing its cash back rewards.
Nowadays, good credit cards with generous rewards (relatively speaking of course) are rare. And good cards can go bad, as the Citi Dividend Platinum Card did a while ago.
That’s what happened to Chase Freedom Card, one [...]

Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards
So far I have talked about best cashback credit cards and credit cards with good gas rewards. Another category that I haven’t touched is cards with travel rewards. The reason for leaving out travel cards is that I don’t travel much, so there’s little chance I can get the maximum benefits from using travel cards [...]
