A little bit late with this one as I have been out of the country on vacation recently, but here is something to remember while doing your Christmas shopping during the next month. Through January 4th, 2009, use your Discover card for any purchases at participating malls around the country, and receive a $20 gift card for every $200 you spend. And that's on top of the everyday rewards you usually get for using your Discover card!
It had to come about sometime. I have heard directly from an affiliate of Chase Bank that they are yielding to the recent economic woes and significantly downgrading the Chase Freedom Visa card. Goodbye 3% cash back, hello same ol' 1% rewards that all of the other cash-back cards offer.

Did you know that you can get free airline miles or free cash rewards on top of the rewards offered by the card itself just by signing up for one of multiple free programs available? There are a few options out there, but I am going to focus on the Rewards Network program as it is the program that I use personally.
