For months my BP card has given me 10% off BP gas, 5% of travel and 2% off everything else. I've been using it like crazy except for the "everything else" because Chase gives me 3% back on those charges. Target Visa gives me a 10% shopping day every $XK I spend (can't remember the exact amount. I can easily turn that into a VERY decent % rebate - especially around Christmas. It counts for everything - even food and on sale items. AAA gives me 5% back on all gas for those times I can't find a BP card and the new Spiritair is giving a mile a dollar and 2 miles a dollar for their plane tickets.

It's like a game to me, lol.

Plus I look at it this way - I have such enormous credit limits on so many cards, if I find out I have a terminal disease my friends and I are going to REALLY enjoy the months I have left
