Let me start it out....

What is the best credit card for rewards....

Bankrate usually has good info. Here's the Bankrate Credit Card page. I'm pretty content with Discover -- some cash back, good service, cool card designs.

only rewards card i have is my costco american express.. it is a cashback card.. 3% for dining out, 2% for travel, 1% everything else..

I use a Discover Miles card. Its okay, but requires a lot of use to really take advantage of the benefits.

I would prefer to have cash back options instead of the simply a miles program. Perhaps one of these days I'll actually do something about it...

I use the American Express Starwood card. Points build up very fast and you can stay at any Starwood property as long as they have a room available. No black-out dates. Doesn't take many points to get a free night either.

My Phillips 66/Conoco card allows me to buy a cold drink and a snack each time I fuel my vehicle. It's like having money without actually having money. Very cool.

I like my AAdvantage MC - 1 AA ff mile for each dollar charged. We like to travel so the free airfare is nice.

Costco AMEX. Not the current one, but the old one. 2% back on Costco purchases, 1% back on everything else. Tough to beat hard cold cash.
