Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC.Credit card BS

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

One of the main cards I use for my biz is a Merrill Lynch WCMA VISA. You 
basically get a point for every $1 you spend.  You can request gift 
certificates to steakhouses, gas cards for hell, airline tickets, etc. 
in exchange for points, but you can also exchange points for diamond 
earrings, golf clubs, Bang & Olufsen stereo systems, etc.  I think one 
year for 1 million points you could get a Range Rover.  All you had to 
do was pay sales tax on the value.  I also use marriott VISA where I can 
stay free at Marriotts.  1 point for $1 spent everywhere but Marriott, 
and at a Marriott resort, hotel or owned restaurant it's 3 points for 
every dollar.
