Points for PC's
I am going to be making three pc purchases over the next six months or so and want to maximize my points. I see the following as options:
USAair - Dell
Goldpoints - IBM & Dell
Mypoints - Gateway & Dell
Greenpoints - Dell
I'm not at all familiar with Goldpoints and if I went w/ them it would likely only be for these purchases.
Any advice on what point system is the best for three purchases of around $1,500 or so?

How about ebates for Dell?
I know it's somewhat heretical here on FT, but cash is as valuble as miles/points, and even more flexible!
Plus you get miles on your mileage earning CC with the purchase too!
Please be sure to remember to access the Dell (or whatever) website via the ebates.com site, as well, in order to get an additional 3% back!
WARNING, a commercial! If you're not a member yet, why not join ebates.com and remember they'll give the referrers 10% of any rebates earned at no loss to you or anyone - and so we all get a percentage as well.
If you wish to, please click the link below and don't forget to enter my username, "markw70" as your referrer!

I've been enjoying the "surprise" checks for years now! Thanks again!

I just got a bulk letter from NW offering 10K miles for:
1. Subscribing to Earthlink.
2. " " AT&T Worldnet.
3. Getting a Nextel cell phone. I already have one (got 5K DL miles) but am not so satisfied due to an excess of NO SERVICE areas in counties near my home.
Do any two of the above & get 2500 Bonus Miles.

NWA mall giving 2 miles per $! for Gateway and J&R.com I have been using JR for years and find them a great company to deal with
and othen have great deals.
Just bought two laptops recently from them and one good thing is they do not charge sales tax.
