If you or your small business do a significant amount of mailing, you can combine the soon-to-be-discounted postage rate with your CC reward for a 5.5%-6.5% boost.

Of course you have to be willing to use the stamps rather than meter your mail. If you buy online, USPS charges a flat $1.00 postage and handling regardless of the size of the order.
