Not Hot! eCard Visa 5% off at Amazon, Outpost & others ending

[lizardboy]

Got a letter today saying the 5% off at select online merchants ends 06/01/2004. This card's been great the last few years for getting 5% off at Amazon & Outpost.

I got my letter yesterday. If it weren't for the 5% incentives, I would have ditched this card long ago. Any suggestions on a replacement Platinum Visa?

I get 1% back on all purchases with my Citibank Platinum Select (something like that). Maybe I 'll switch get the Amazon Visa card that basically gives you 3% off your purchases at Amazon.

I don't think I've charged anything other than Amazon/Outpost purchases on that card for the last 2 or 3 years, no wonder they're ending it.

At least Citi offers virtual one time use cc's.

I've been using hte Amazon.com visa as my main credit card for years. It's through a reputable bank, and (at least with my spending habits) I pretty much get a constant stream of $25 Amazon gift certificates in the mail. They're stackable.

You get 1 point for each dollar spent, and 3 points for each dollar spent at Amazon.com. 2500 points get you a $25 gift certificate.
