Prepaid credit cards.

Quote from Kevmeister:



I like the Hilton HHonors American Express card. You can earn miles and points for each stay at one of the many hilton brands. Also you get 3 points per $ spent. In 1 1/2 years I've already saved enough points to stay in any Hilton hotel throughout the world for 12 days. You can also use your points for cruises, airplane tickets, merchandise, car rentals, etc and it's a great way to get upgraded at many hotels. Some hotels are $600 a night. There are literally hundreds of ways to earn additional hilton points. I found that you get an average .03 - .06 per dollar spent if you use your points for the very expensive hotels.

I checked out the GM card but there is a limit on how much you can spend on each car. You can only apply $1,750 tops on most cars. So you can earn all you want but you can only apply $1,750 per car. Not that great a deal.

Marriott has a similar excellent program.
I had a week free at theNewOrleans Marriott on Canal a few years ago.
Talk about a good time

Quote from vhehn:

the best credit card is the gm credit card. you get 5% back on all purchases towards any new gm car

and they already started limiting how much of the rebate you can spend on which kind of GM vehicle.

I give you credit for SPAMMING a 2 1/2 YEAR old thread!

This concept has been around the trading environment for years. Pre-pay your futures account, make trades, blow the account out. Re-charge the account, trade, blow out the account again. Re-charge the account. Rinse and repeat. Nothing new here.
