I was hoping with the help of others to start an updated credit card comparison like BlondeBomber did in '04. I don't know how to make an external link like she did so if someone could help me there. I know the margins are off and is difficult to read without an excel spread sheet. I had it in a word document but the margins got shifted over when I posted it and I tried to adjust it the best I could. I did spend a lot of time on this so I hope no one explodes when they have trouble reading it. I did it with good intentions. Here are the 4 credit cards that I carry. Note the wide difference in insurance coverage.
