2. I’m on a credit card diet right now so I’ll pass, but dang! That’s a lot of cash!

   It must have taken a while to write this post with all those pics! Wow!

3. Wow those are some great deals: I wonder how many/at what point the hurt on your credit score outweighs the monetary benefits…

5. Thanks for that list but yikes! I already feel like I have too many credit cards. I’m with Ron @TheWisdomJournal. I’ll pass this time, but will keep it in mind once we get our stupid debt paid off.

   Hopefully there’ll be even better deals by then (of course, we may also all be driving flying cars and have robot maids by then

6. Looks like a lot of the major issuers are moving towards higher purchase requirements, where you’ll only receive the bonus after $600 or $1000 in purchases.

   It makes it a little more difficult to take advantage of multiple offers, as you really have to plan to spend that amount of money, unless you can spend that much on the cards through bill payments and necessities alone, but that’s still difficult if you’re trying to take advantage of 3 or 4 cash bonus offers at once.

   I guess too many people were getting the cards, making a $0.50 purchase to get the bonus, and then never using the cards again, so they hope to get you into a spending pattern.

   They’re still great offers though, but it’s probably only reasonable to apply for 1 or 2, unless you just feel like going spend-crazy on your credit cards.

   Thanks for the information, Max

7. I fear that the Discover Business $100 bonus offer may be no more. I applied and got approved, but the rep didn’t know anything about the bonus. Also, I don’t see it mentioned anywhere on Discover’s site. Just a warning. Let’s hope I’m mistaken, otherwise I’ll have a useless card…

8. Can I get 1 $100 gift card form Starwood Business, and a 2nd $100 gift card for the regular Starwood cad?

   Also can i get 1 $50 card for Amex Preferred Rewards Green Card and then get a $50 card for the Business Green Rewards Card from American Express.

   A rep said no, but has anyone got actual experience?

9. Joe: I just tried to reply by e-mail, but the message was returned as undeliverable. In short, you should qualify as long as you can get approved for all of the cards. Your best bet is to apply for them all in rapid succession, and to do so online as opposed to talking to a rep.

10. Nickel, one more quick question, what would be my best bet for a new credit card with no annual fee, (I’ve no credit history as yet), kindly advice. Thanks for your anticipated response.
