Mypoints Mastercard
I just saw on the Mypoints website that they are now offering a mastercard. Sign up bonus is 250, earning is 1 point per dollar. No annual fee. The main page says a fixed rate of 9.9%, but if you click through to the terms and conditions, you will find no mention of that rate, just a few astronomical ones! Something is going on there. I have been looking for a good MC/Visa to supplement my AMEX, but I don't like this offer. Maybe if it was two points per dollar...maybe.

A good VISA to replace your AMEX, in myn opinion, would be the Platnium Marriott Card...
No annual fee for the first year
5,000 bonus points for joining/first purchase
E-Mail me if you want to sign-up, they offer referals each quarter... 3 referals at 5,000 each...

Can I get airline miles with the Marriot card or is it strictly limited to Marriot points? Do those transfer to any other programs? I am not really interested in Marriot points since I'm a Hilton honors participant.

MarriottReward pts can be transferred to any of its airline partners for 3 pts to 1 mile when you transfer 30K pts.
FYI, MyPoints can be transferred to HHonors 1 to 1; with MyPoints MC, you get 1 HHonors pt for each $ charged.

if u want a true miles card......get the First USA World Mastercard. $50......but well worth it..........for the holidays, i cashed in 24,000 points for a $760 tix!!!! (the cheapest at the time, as availabe on Expedia & Travelocity).......AND NO BLACKOUT DATES & can fly any airline! The $50 is well worth it.
