Long shot here, but wondering if you have any experience with how Amazon AWS charges show up ( http://aws.amazon.com/ ). I rack up quite a hefty bill through them each month- would be significant if those got counted as a “book” purchases!

This credit card seems to be the only card I’ve seen that is rewarding good credit behavior. I have seen people in the last six months who pay their bills on time get their credit lines reduced and have their interest rate increased. To me it seems that the Forward Card is the best card out there for people who pay their bills on time.

I also have an AmEx card that started out paying 5% cash back for fuel purchases, but then stopped doing so about a year ago. Do you have any advice on how to negotiate just to get the initial rewards back? Thanks.

I think the card below is the “Richest” rewards card the Citibank offers. I realize it comes with a $125 fee after the first year – however – I plan on calling and asking for the fee to be waived or I will cancel the card. I got this card last June and have been loving all the points I’m earinging.

5 ThankYou Points for every $1 spent on purchases made at supermarkets, drug stores and gas stations and 3 ThankYou Points per $1 spent on all other purchases for the first 24 months; 1 point thereafter
