Question about Extra Points on Travel Spending
Some credit cards offer extra points for money spent on travel. Does this include metro fares or Zipcar reservations? Living in DC, I regularly spend a decent amount on both.
I tried searching, but didn't have any luck. Thanks!

Welcome to FT.
General credit card questions belong on the Credit Card Programs forum so I'll move it there.
Not sure of the answer to your questions but someone here might know. Car rentals should count as "travel" points.

Awesome, thanks. I figured the metro fares would, but I wasn't sure if Zipcar would count as a car rental since I never see them listed with the other major rental companies.

There is a good chance these items will count. My CapitalOne card shows metro bus fares as "travel expenses" that get treated like other travel expenses.
