Cash Back Reward To My Credit Cards in 2010

I’ve always chosen cashback instead of air mileages for my credit card reward. The reason is cashback goes into your pocket directly, and unlike air mileages or point systems, it is not subject to the conversion factor change in the future. I have arranged my spending on credit cards as follows: 1. Grocery, drugstore, and […]

Time To Change Your Auto Insurance Company

I have noticed that Ameriprise, the auto insurance company thru Costco has been raising its price.

When I Bought My Diamond Engagement Ring

AskMr.CreditCard.com sent me a post on buying diamond ring at Costco. And he asked me for my comments on buying diamond rings at Costco or at Tiffany. I definitely think it’s okay to buy the diamond ring from Costco. Well, guess where I bought my diamond ring for my wife? I bought it from an […]
