			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_diamond/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi® Diamond Preferred® Rewards Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards</a> gives you 6000 Thank You points after first purchase. With the 6000 bonus points, you can redeem for a $50 gift card from the Thank You Network. The gift card can be Best Buy, Sears, and Target just to name a few. There is no fee to enroll in the Thank You Network and points are easily redeem</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick summary of the benefits of <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_diamond/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi® Diamond Preferred® Rewards Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>No annual fee</li>
<li>5 Thank You points for every dollar purchase from Gas, Supermarkets, and Drugstores for 12 months.</li>
<li>0% APR on Balance Transfer for 12 months.</li>
</ul>
<p>Few other benefits include identity theft protection, price protection program, and $0 liability on unauthorized purchases.</p>
<p>Usually, most cards have only either a sign on bonus or great cash back program, or 0 % apr promo. <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_diamond/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi® Diamond Preferred® Rewards Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards</a> has all three benefits. Although I wouldn&#8217;t do balance transfer with this card since the balance transfer fee is capped at $250. I wouldn&#8217;t not want to Balance Transfer for that high amount of fee.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a free $50 gift card, then <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_diamond/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi® Diamond Preferred® Rewards Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Apply Now</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a worthy bonus of a hit on your credit score. Citi is now offering $150 bonus after $250 in purchases with the <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_biz_reward/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='CitiBusiness® Card with ThankYou Network(SM)'; return true;" target="_blank">CitiBusiness ThankYou Network</a> with no annual fee.</p>
<p>I wrote previously that anybody can apply for a business credit card. Here&#8217;s a quick recap:</p>
<blockquote><p>Whether you have a home-based business or that you have sold something on Ebay, you can apply for a business credit card. <strong>You can put your name as the business name and your social security number as the tax id.</strong> Your business is called <strong>sole proprietorship</strong> and it’s perfectly legal with the IRS.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are still having several credit cards that still not meeting your needs? Switch to CitiBusiness Card and find that the  CitiBusiness card help you manage your expenses, pay all your bills, and earn rewards for all your purchases.</p>
<p><strong>The best part right now is that there is a 15000 Thank You points bonus after $250 in purchases which convert to $150 gift card bonus in the Thank You Network.</strong></p>
<p>If you click on  <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_biz_reward/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='CitiBusiness® Card with ThankYou Network(SM)'; return true;" target="_blank">CitiBusiness ThankYou Network,</a> there is only a 10000 thank you points bonus showing. However, turn off pop-up blocker, and then exit the page, and you will see the page below.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.mycreditcardsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/citi-biz.jpg" alt="citi biz" height="436" width="509" /></p>
<p>So after $250 in purchases, you will get 15K bonus points to get $150 in gift certificate. The CitiBusiness card also earn 3 points for every dollar spent on eligible business purchases. For all your other purchase, earn 1 point per dollar spent and start redeeming your points for gift cards, merchandise, travel services and more. Another bonus with the CitiBusiness card is that you can receive discounts at participating retailers and online merchants.</p>
<p><strong>  </strong>Other cardholders benefits include $1 million in travel accident insurance for you and your immediate family, car rental insurance when you decline the car company’s collision coverage, and advanced fraud protection. Then you get travel benefits such as lost luggage coverage, emergency cash replacement, and Citibank&#8217;s zero liability policy for unauthorized purchases.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait too long, apply now to the <a href="http://www.credit.com/r/card_citi_biz_reward/af=p44474&amp;ag=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='CitiBusiness® Card with ThankYou Network(SM)'; return true;" target="_blank">CitiBusiness ThankYou Network.</a></p>

<p><a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=305985&amp;of=655&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi PremierPass® Card - Elite Level'; return true;" target="_blank"><img src="https://img1.ncsreporting.com/9a2294c9-219c-4aa1-9598-158e60b172a4.jpg?124322&amp;100" alt="Citi PremierPass® Card - Elite Level" border="0" height="89" width="142" /></a></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want the 20000 points for $200 in gift card, then you can exchange it for an airline round ticket in the U.S. When you travel in the continental United States and Hawaii you can get a companion ticket every single time you buy a round-trip Coach Class excursion-fare ticket with your card for $299 or more. Also, for every mile you fly, you will get equal bonus points to the number of miles of your flight.</p>
<p>There is, however, an annual fee of $75.  <strong>Lets do the math: $200 bonus - $75 fee = $125 profit.</strong> You might be discouraged, thinking, *Damn&#8230;I really don&#8217;t want to pay any annual fee.*  Here&#8217;s a neat little hustle to get away from the annual fee. Once you get your 20000 bonus points, go ahead and cash them out for an airline ticket or $200 in gift card. Now call the CSR and ask them to convert to the <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=100740&amp;of=199&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Citi PremierPass® Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Regular Citi PremierPass Card.</a> This is very simple.  It&#8217;s  just switching to a different card and there is no hard inquiry on your credit. Why? Because the Regular Citi Premier doesn&#8217;t have an annual fee. They will simply credit you the $75. Make sure you tell them that you will only keep the card if they reverse the fee and give you the Regular PremierPass. If it doesn&#8217;t work, threaten to cancel the card. They will most likely to offer you something to keep you as a customer.  Call back to a different CSR if they don&#8217;t offer you something good. If they don&#8217;t give you anything, you can still cancel and be prorated to the amount of months left on your card. E.G. Cancel after 2 months, hence (2/12) x $75 fee = $63 back since you only have them for 2 months. YMMV</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have any loan, whether it&#8217;s a car loan or a personal loan, that is greater than 3% APR interest rate? If so, then you need to apply for the <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=100529&amp;of=360&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Advanta Life-of-Balance Platinum Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Advanta Life-of-Balance Platinum Card</a>. The card gives you 2.99% APR fixed for life when you balance transfer within 3 months of getting the card. On top of the low interest rate, there is absolutely <strong>no balance transfer fee</strong>. There is also no annual fee. Even though this is a business card, anyone can apply.</p>
<p>Whether you have a home-based business or that you have sold something on Ebay, you can apply for a business credit card. <strong>You can put your name as the business name and your social security number as the tax id.</strong> Your business is called <strong>sole proprietorship</strong> and it’s perfectly legal with the IRS.</p>
<p>Of course if you can pay your loan in less than 12 months, then you would rather check out these 0% APR for 12 months with <a href="http://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/credit-cards-with-no-balance-transfer-fee/" target="_blank">no balance transfer fee cards</a>. The Advanta card is for those who want to lower their high interest rate and pay it off for years to come. The 2.99% APR fixed rate is even less than inflation. By using this card to balance transfer, you will be saving hundreds and possibly thousands depending how big your loan and high your interest rate. Lastly, the balance on your business cards does not show on your personal credit report. This will have a positive impact on your credit report due to low debt/high credit limit ratio.</p>

<ul>
<li>2.99% Fixed APR for Life on balances transferred within 3 months</li>
<li>Choice of 6% Cash Back or Travel Rewards</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for free hotel nights, gift cards, or airline ticket? How about 10000 bonus Starpoints after first purchase with the <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=101316&amp;of=541&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express'; return true;" target="_blank">Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express</a>. The 10000 bonus points can be converted to $100 Amazon.com, Gap, or Banana Republic gift card. If you don&#8217;t like gift cards, then 10K points can be worth up to 3 hotel nights stay. You need 20000 points for a round-trip ticket, so you are half way there. Apply the <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=100038&amp;of=82&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card'; return true;" target="_blank"> Regular Starwood</a> too for a free airline ticket.</p>
<p>Anybody can apply for a business credit card. Here’s a quick recap:</p>
<blockquote><p>Whether you have a home-based business or that you have sold something on Ebay, you can apply for a business credit card. <strong>You can put your name as the business name and your social security number as the tax id.</strong> Your business is called <strong>sole proprietorship</strong> and it’s perfectly legal with the IRS.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, some people save the points to earn a free flight ticket once you reach the 20K points mark. Here is a quick summary with their rewards program:</p>
<ol>
<li>Convert a few miles so they won&#8217;t expire and top off to get to the reward ticket level</li>
<li>Get 1.25 miles per dollar spent which is 25% more than most other airlines cards.</li>
<li>Points can be converted to gift cards, hotel nights, and airline tickets.</li>
</ol>
<p>Top Reasons Why <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=101316&amp;of=541&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express'; return true;" target="_blank">Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express</a> is the best Airline Travel Card:</p>
<p>1) Starwood points can be easily converted to frequent flier miles</p>
<ul>
<li>The Starwood points convert on a 1:1 (1 Starwood point = 1 frequent flier mile) basis on major domestic airlines include Alaska, American, Delta, Hawaiian, Northwest and US Airways/America West.</li>
</ul>
<p>2) Get that free flight ticket by topping it off or keep your miles from expiring</p>
<ul>
<li>Say you want to fly free and you have only 23K delta flier miles, and you need to 2K more to make a free flight. With Starwood points, you can transfer your already earned points to Delta frequent flier program and get your free ticket. Hence, you don&#8217;t need to earn the points by doing other spending methods.</li>
<li>In order to keep your miles from expiring, simply convert a few hundred miles every now and then so your account would be active with other airlines. If not, you could lose your miles for being inactive.</li>
</ul>
<p>3) Great hotel card reward card</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t like gift cards or airline ticket? How about hotel stay for as little as 2000 points per night. There is no blackout date and all taxes are covered. Choose from Hotels such as Sheraton, W hotels, Westin, and St. Regis.</p>
<p>4) Get 25% more miles extra</p>
<ul>
<li>Other airline credit cards such <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=100036&amp;of=57&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card'; return true;" target="_blank">Delta</a>, <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=100097&amp;of=107&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='United Mileage Plus® Signature Visa® Card'; return true;" target="_blank">United </a>, and <a href="http://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/recommended/citiplatinumaadvantage.php">American</a> give out great bonuses but all give you 1 mile per dollar spent.  The <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=101316&amp;of=541&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express'; return true;" target="_blank">Starwood Biz</a> does the same with 1 Starwood point for $1 spent. This changes whenever you convert 20000 points, you get an additional 5000 bonus points or 20000 Starwood points = 25000 miles on all airlines flier program. This resulted in an extra 25% more miles per dollar spent.</li>
</ul>
<p>5) Free 10000 bonus points, another 15000 possible bonus points, and first year membership fee is waived</p>
<ul>
<li>If you sign up now, <a href="http://links.ncsreporting.com/redirect.aspx?cr=101316&amp;of=541&amp;af=124322&amp;ac=100&amp;uv=" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express'; return true;" target="_blank">Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express</a> is giving away 10000 Starwood bonus points after first purchase.
