My VISA and MC cards from Rocky Mountain Bankcards (originator of the PLUS
network) have taken to giving these premium bucks.  When you apply the
premium bucks you get the list price down to what the discount catalog
places such as Best products, LaBelle's, or whatever it's called in your
area is.  In addition, the little flyers of items never seem to have any
thing I want to order (just things like ghetto blasters and other useless
crap).

I have a card from Citicorp called CHOICE.  I got it when they bought out
two local credit card companies:  NAC and Central Charge (formerly owned
by the Riggs National Bank in D.C.).  They give a half a percent rebate
at the end of year provided you spent $600 dollars (as I pay for my Gasoline
with this card it was no problem).  They used to give you 5-1/4% interest
on your account if you overpaid it, but some stupid government agency made
them stop in order to protect the consumer.  Unfortunately  CHOICE is only
good from Northern Virginia up to New York.  No one else has ever heard of
it.
