Biff,
I believe that's a 2:1 transfer raton on the Hilton VISA. 3:1 only for Hilton stays. In any case, this VISA card has a TERRIBLE transfer ratio!

Better to go with the Yahoo Visa (approx $5 for $500 spent on Gc's..i.e. 1%) or Nextcard Amazon Visa ($10 for $500 spent...i.e. 2%). They are both free.

Compubank obviously is having a conflict of interest with Clickrewards.

Recently Clickrewards began a program where you can tie-in a credit card with Clickrewards so that when you buy something from a Clickreward partner, you get extra pts. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO GREATER THINGS TO COME.

I BELIEVE Clickrewards has reached the CORRECT conclusion that you can make more licensing money from having a Visa/Mastercard co-branded card with a MAJOR bank than crappy ole' 3%-interest-paying Compubank. I THINK THIS IS THE WAY THEY ARE HEADING. The FACT that they've broken-up with Compucrap means that they alrady have a big bank that'll offer something attractive in co-branding! WHEN THEY DO I'LL SIGN UP!

I never thought the Compubank deal was that great to begin with. THERE ARE BANKS paying 6% out there on the net vs. 3+% for Compucrap. NO WAY!
