credit card with a worthwhile rewards program

[UDT89]

im looking to transfer my balance to a new credit card. im trying to find one that has a rewards program, but one thats worthwhile. like bank of america has a travel card, and i love to travel, but the things all start at 25,000 points. and with only getting 1,000 for applying, i'd have to spend 24,000 dollars to get a reward.


anyone got a good suggesstion?

i just have a plain jane cash back card. it's the "free cash rewards" visa from bankone. $25 check for every $2500 spent on the card, including interest payments.

I'm still using my Citibank Driver's Edge card, mostly because I'm an employee so I get a great rate. My wife and I both bought new cars in the last few months and together we got about $900 back from them (she had the same card). It took awhile to build that up, but it was nice to get something back.

My drivers edge card earned points. then i bought my car, and i mailed them copy of title and registration and they sent me my points balance. it was $396.

not sure what you're talking about 2%.
