There are many different unique credit card “extras” that you may not even know about! Major credit card companies have adopted and developed unique incentive programs to attract new cardholders and retain their valuable customers. Certain types of cards, called gold or platinum, will automatically provide valuable savings and protection programs for cardholders viewed as low-risk and high-volume charge clients. Cardholders in standard classifications will be offered many of these programs in exchange for the payment of an annual fee.
Credit fraud has become a multi-billion dollar annual risk to banks that issue credit cards in many countries around the world. Third-party providers have established entire businesses to protect the credit profiles of clients that also carry major credit cards.

Treasury officials have spent almost £2 million on taxpayer-funded credit cards over the past three years amid growing concern among ministers over unchecked spending by civil servants, The Daily Telegraph can disclose. 
Mandarins charged with overseeing public spending have lavished public money on five star hotels, cookery courses and even shopping at high-street stores.
The disclosure comes as Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, launches an outspoken attack on the use of government credit cards by officials which he claims has led to a breakdown in “financial controls”.
It is understood that George Osborne, the Chancellor, was surprised by the use of taxpayer-funded credit cards in the Treasury after last year’s election and ordered a clampdown on their use.
A source close to the Chancellor said that the lavish spending had now been banned, and that spending on the cards had halved since the election.

REI Credit Card with $50 Signup Bonus: Brand Loyalty at its Best
17 May
Posted by Shannon Reyes as Credit Cards
Full disclosure: I am not the most objective observer when it comes to REI. They won my heart long ago, and while you can surely get cheaper outdoor gear elsewhere (steepandcheap.com has 50-90% off flash deals on outdoor gear), none of them has REI’s unparalleled return policy, they don’t have REI’s membership discounts, and their staff won’t ask you, months later, how that backpack they sold you worked out. While we usually don’t recommend store credit cards, the REI credit card is above and beyond: not only do you get member dividends, but the REI Visa gives an additional 5% back at REI plus 1% back elsewhere. And if you apply in May, you’ll get a $50 REI gift card. This is why they have such loyal customers.
REI memberships: don’t think, just get one
If you shop for outdoor gear with anything resembling regularity, REI is just about the best place to buy.
