I do a heap of PPC marketing and use an AMEX card for all my payments. Its great as with AMEX, unlike most reward programs, the points are uncapped and dont expire. In Australia most cards have tough limits on yearly point totals which then mean that they are basically useless for getting heaps of points. It pays to review the conditions of the rewards card before you sign up to see what points limitations may be available. I dont only book tickets for myself but for family and friends as well. I love not paying for flights, spending on something I had to anyway. Then as you mention there are online stores where you can convert the points into household purchases that you would otherwise have to pay for. Go rewards!

I thought your idea of applying for all your cards within a very short time is a particuarly good one so you get your applications through before any impact from the other applications shows up on your credit reports. Not sure what the banks would think of this but I think it's a great concept! Hi Tim, Another great post.

Have you done much comparison between the frequent flyer type cards versus those that offer a 1/2% cashback on purchases? Hi Tim, great post.

Absolutely love the book mate, it changed a lot of what I now do online – and thanks for sharing these tips on credit card points. I spend a fair bit with my credit card on AdWords, so I will definitely be trying this stuff out.

Does anyone know which debit card allows one to load cash with the American Express Blue Sky card? I have the Western Union, AccountNow and Ready Debit cards. It seems as though they only allow cash, direct deposit or dropping by some money cashing place. One of them allows Paypal but I don't trust that service and plus they charge very high fees sending money. Thanks in advance. Hello…
