Discover - Discover Platinum
I love using my Discover Platinum card. They always have extra cash back opportunities every month on the things most of us use. This month is Gas, Hotels and Amusement Parks. I will be cashing in on this opportunity. I earn money and have the convenience of using the credit card. I pay my balance every month so I don't have a finance charge. This is a no annual fee credit it card. The saying It Pays to Discover is a very good discription of this card. Go to Discover.com and check it out! You must sign up online every time for the extra cashback opportunity. Easy to do when you check your balance...

Chase - Business
This is for the Chase Business card. I have had this credit card for about 2 years now and it has been okay with me. I chose to also get the Identity theft program provided by Chase for about 10 bucks a month. It is a pretty good service as they monitor your credit thoroughly every week to see what has been happening with it, and if there are any suspicous transactions on either your credit report, or your Chase Business card.
You earn 3% on some on the more popular purchases in certain areas, and 1% on the rest. There isnt very many points or rewards to be given, but I have cashed out...

Ameriprise
There is a long story associated with Ameriprise and my family. We had a personal financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial, and we were using this guy for many many years.
They do offer great customer service and help with your financial planning when you are with them, but when the time comes for you to pull the money out and actually retire... the whole story changes. This is what happened to my family. My dad personally wanted to now start taking payments from his program since he is 64 years of age and so I assume we had to make aphone call and some paperwork.
Well the paperwork...

AAA
I have had a pretty good experience with AAA up until they excluded me from their policy. I understand why though. 3 accidents within a month and being under 21, my parents were paying insane premiums. They took me off the auto policy and I was able to see that AAA premiums are actually very low and are catered to those who are 25 years of age or older, and have a clean record.
They offer discounts for multi policy, good driver, lojack, and other things as well. My parents pay very little for coverage on 2 cars. The premiums can't really be beat either.
The best thing with AAA is...

Visa - Vanilla Visa
I have a hard time with Vanilla Visa Gift Cards and I do mean cardS I have purchased many over the years . I use to not ever have problems but now they are constant. When I use to buy Vanilla Visa Gift Cards I used them to purchase online or at a retail store. But within the last several months I found every time I try to use them they decline my purchase. I have called them many many times And when I get customer service the people are nice but they blame the business I'm trying to get a product or service from. You have to register the card and then hope it works. which for me has been a...

Citi - Professional MasterCard
Citibank's Professional credit card is marketed as a business credit card, but will be reported to the credit bureaus as a personal card. The highlight of the card is that you get three points per dollar spent atrestaurants, office supply stores and gas stations. You will get one point per dollar spent for all other purchases. The points can be redeemed at Citi's Thank You program. This reward program is pretty comprehensive and you will have many options to redeem you points with: straight cash, statement credits, a variety of gift cards, mortgage payments, student loan payments,...

Citi - Forward
Citi's Forward credit card is similar to their mtvU card: five points per dollar spent at restaurants, bookstores, and music stores, and one point for all other purchases. However, this card does not require you to be a student in order to qualify for it! The Citibank Thank your reward program is one of the best credit card reward program available because you have so many options for redeeming your points: cash, gift cards, statement credits, mortgage payments, student loan redemptions, gifts/other merchandises. You can't always redeem everything at a one point per one cent ratio, but...

Citi - mtvU Visa for students
I've had this card (Citi mtvU) for over 3 years and it is awesome for this student. You get 5 points per dollar at restaurants (including fast food), music stores, and bookstores (amazon.com is included, even if you don't buy books!!). The points can be redeemed through Citi bank's Thank You network and there are a lot of options: Gift cards, cash, statement credits, mortgage, student loan credits, travel, merchandises/gifts. Not everything can be redeemed at a 1 point per 0.01 ration, but I still think this is one of the top reward programs. With the mtvU card, you can earn points...

Chase - Platinim Visa
Blue Cross / Blue Shield
My husband has been with BCBS for 18 years now. In 1991 is premium was 160.00 per month, full coverage mind you. Now his premium is 450.00 per month for the same coverage. This is rediculous, where is it going to stop.
He does not use his insurance every year for surgeries or anything. He does get Kidney Stone which is one of the reason's that he has the insurance in the first place, but he does not get those every year.
I'm going to be putting him on my Hospital Only policy today and the money that we will save will cover his Dr. Vistis and Pharmacy Prescriptions. The Hospital only plan...

Esurance
Esurance was very easy to use. Their website was easy to navigate and didn't take a long time to set up a policy. Their prices were competitive though seemed to be a bit higher then companies, like Safe Auto, that advertise to low income families. The set up was painless and my policy was complete in under 20 minutes. For someone like me, who doesn't use credit cards, paying esurance was more difficult then using a local company. In the past I've been able to just drop off a payment along with my other errands and this took a bit more work to make payments on time. The few instances...
