Default Need a Credit card... wich one??

I'm looking for a credit card to charge all my monthly expenses and bills, and pay the full balance at the end of the month, so I was thinking on some kind of CC with points, miles or rebates... I would like to get your input before making a decision...

I think that visa is the most widely accepted.. so I'm leaning towards that...but really don't care which one it is...

Thanks in advance..

If you plan on paying at the end of each month I'd go with an American Express.

I typically do the same thing with my amex. Lot's of good stuff to use your points towards.

if it's a business card chase has a 3% rebate card you can use for gas, office supplies, etc
we are saving some pretty good $ just on the gas rebate right now

Yes this is by far the best deal around - You don't have to have the business card - see their web-site its chase advantage or something

the rest may have 5% on some catagories but the yearly max is ridiculous Cash is always worth more than "points" to me

Amex Blue is pretty good. 5% on most purchases once you hit $6501.

Get back around $1,000 per year credited to my account.

American Express.
Best CC company in the world to deal with.

Member Rewards are top notch, with no hassles whatsoever.

I recently had my Amex Blue card number ripped off my an enterprising soul. My guess is a certain restaurant in Seattle, because that is where the bad charges started. Amex called me about a month after my trip to ask about repeated card charges to internet retailers. We went over the outstanding charges on the card immediately. Amex dropped the disputed charges instantly, closed out that card, and shipped me a new card with a new card number via overnight delivery. They also earned the respect of this customer. Great people to do business with.

Thanks Again
