Preparing for next FFN: Good MC program?
 

I have been using a Bank of America Mastercard for FFN stays. However, some slimy "card insurance" company has attached itself to my card and neither they nor BofA will honor my request to end my participation (not that I remember ever agreeing to it in the first place).

Anyone have a good suggestion on another bank for getting a new Mastercard account?

I went to a local bank, opened a no-fee and no minimum balance checking account that came with a MC debit card.

Citibank AAdvantage Debit MC so you can double up your benefits (points plus miles.) Also, I have found very favorable foreign exchange rates, as with Cap One Plat MC.

MBNA Amtrak card. They're a good bank to deal with, good currency conversion rates, no annual fee.
