I’m not big on credit cards in general, even though I know they have their benefits when used (and paid off) “properly”. Please don’t send me a bunch of emails about the evils of credit cards and the faulty reasoning of posting them on a frugal website. I don’t buy into that either. This post is just a “passing along of info” if you’re interested.

Best Card For Smaller Spenders: Chase Freedom Visa Signature
Users get 3 percent back in the most-used category — like gas, gym memberships or hair salon services. They get 1 percent back on all other purchases, and a $50 bonus after their first purchase.

Best Card For Bigger Spenders: Amex Bluecash
Users get 1 percent back on everyday purchases like groceries, gas and drugstore buys, and half a percent back on everything else. But after they spend $6,500, they get 5 percent on everyday purchases and 1.5 on the rest. Plus, there’s no cap on the rewards.

Best Gas Reward Card: Chase Perfectcard Mastercard
Users earn 6 percent cash back on gas for the first 90 days and 3 percent after that. Other purchases earn 1 percent cash back .

Best Travel-Reward Card: Capital One No-Hassle Miles Rewards

This card lets users earn miles on any airline and has no annual fee. It collects 1.25 miles for every dollar spent — about 25 percent more than most airline reward cards — and there are no blackout dates, seat restrictions or limit on earnings.

Not sure if this is nation-wide or just in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Starting August 15th the CVS circular will be in Friday’s paper, not Sunday’s. This is only good if you already take the Friday paper. For folks like me, this makes Thursday’s ad scan that much more valuable because I’m not spending the extra cash for a hands on look.

CVS doesn’t put the circulars in the store display racks until Sunday, so if you shop when the new sale week starts on Saturday afternoon, you’re out of luck if you want to hold the circular in your hand and be able to flip through it as you walk through the store.

Just another CVS setback. They’re starting to make it harder and harder to get the wonderful freebies we’ve been used to. Take heart…we still have Thursday’s ad scans here!
