In 1950, the first credit card that could be used at more than one, specific merchant emerged on the market. The Diner’s Card, started by Frank McNamara, was an invention that got its start when Frank was having a business meeting over dinner, and realized he had forgotten his wallet at home. Of course, the man was extremely embarrassed, and had to call his wife and ask her to bring him his wallet so he could pay for the bill. Then the light bulb over his head turned on, and he thought it would be incredible to have a way to purchase things wherever people shopped, and pay for them later. The Diner’s Card started with 200 card holders, and within a few years- banks and private companies began offering credit cards.

Eventually there were so many credit cards to choose from that the credit lenders had to come up with new ways to stand out from the competition and entice people to select their card over another. Credit card reward programs were born sometime around 1986. Discover card began offering cash back based on the amount of money you spent on your credit card, and the first “frequent flier miles” for credit card users was with Continental Airlines. The frequent flier miles were such a hit that now every airline has joined in the rewards programs, offering discounted trips, free complimentary airfare, travel accident insurance- all based on the amount of spending you do using your credit card.

Now that just about every credit card has some sort of rewards program in place, once again card companies are finding themselves looking for new ways to entice more customers to slide their credit card into their already overflowing card holders in their wallets. Rewards programs have to be turned up a notch, and become so amazing, so absolutely unforgettable that consumers can’t forget them and will apply for and use their card more than the other seven in their wallets when they go shopping!

Currently, the trend in credit card rewards programs appears to be creating cards that offer very specific rewards to cater to what people are doing with their lives. Michelle Shepherd, of MBNA Corp (one of the largest credit card lenders) says the rewards programs are developed with real people in mind, offering something for everyone “…whatever stage in life a person is in, whether it’s someone who’s trying to reduce a mortgage or someone dreaming of going to the Super Bowl”. This is seen in credit cards MBNA offers with rewards programs related to NASCAR and GMAC. Also, Visa offers several credit cards with Disney rewards programs- your spending earns you points towards travel to Disney theme parks and on the Disney cruise line.

Credit card interest rates have begun to rise overall, which is another reason why lenders are trying to entice new customers with their fabulous rewards programs. It would be hard for a card to sell itself to new customers with a high, unattractive interest rate- so lenders have learned to sell the idea of the rewards programs, hoping to gain your interest from that and divert your attention from the not-so-glamorous interest rates.

Keep in mind that while rewards programs can seem very rewarding when you are considering a credit card offer, there is often a lot of information you won’t find out until after you apply for and receive the card. Rewards programs often have limitations, meaning once you reach the ceiling you are no longer eligible for the rewards program benefits- information they don’t normally disclose in thecredit card offers you receive in the mail. Also, for rewards programs that allow you to purchase items with points earned based on the spending you do using your credit card, keep in mind you will probably be charged additional money for shipping and handling of those items. For cards that offer travel discounts and airline tickets, many rewards programs require you to then pay transaction fees to redeem them.

As major credit card issuers compete for customers, credit card rewards are ever plentiful. Today’s card holders can enjoy free sky miles, hotel and travel points, cash back for purchases, even money contributed to an IRA or transferred to a interest accruing savings account.

But which credit card reward is better? Points or cash back? Main contributors are the interest rate offered to card applicants based upon their credit scores, as well as the fine print regarding how to earn; and redeem, points and cash back.

When choosing a credit card rewards offer, decide what you desire most and which you can generate the most rewards. Since computing points is often confusing, many consumers choose a cash back credit card instead of a points card. With a cash back card, they know exactly how much money they will earn, and redemption is far easier. Even consumers who travel frequently will often prefer a cash back credit card instead of a points card for that very reason, plus because they have more flexibility on how; and where, to use the cash back. They don’t have to worry about point blackout dates, nor restrictions to a specific airline or hotel.

Another problem consumers face when choosing a rewards card, are card fees and whether or not they will payoff balances in full each month. Otherwise, fees and interest could be more costly than the cash back and points accrued.

For consumers who do not frequently travel, and those who do not patronize a particular airline or hotel, Credit Federal suggests a cash back credit card versus a points card. Some airline miles cards are limited to a particular airline, and may have restricted travel dates. With cash back rewards, not only do you know exactly what amount your earnings will be per purchase, getting and spending your cash rewards is much easier and more flexible. You can view various credit card rewards offered by major issuers; including American Express, Chase, Citi, Discover, Visa and MasterCard at Credit Federal.

Consumers desiring reward credit cards also face the scrutiny of a credit check. Typically the greater the rewards offered, the higher the credit qualification. Bad credit people are considered a high risk and generally do not qualify.

Before you submit an application for a rewards credit card, consider these tips:

To maximize your rewards, payoff balances in full each month. If you cannot payoff balances in full monthly, select a card with the lowest possible interest rate.

Check for rewards caps to see if there are restrictions on the amount of points, etc, you can earn.

Find a rewards card with no annual fee. Otherwise, the fee you pay may be greater than the rewards if you do not use the card frequently enough, or not effectively.

Avoid cards with reward expiration dates.

Avoid short-term, introductory only card rewards.

Browse for perks. Some rewards cards offer free perks such as travel insurance.

Almost every day I send my Mom (age 98 now, January 2011) an AmazingMail.com photo card. She likes to see photos of her son.
This is indeed an amazing service. For well under I can print photos and or text on four faces of an 8.5”x11” folded and laminated color card containing my Flickr or any other photos I want to upload. Once you have an account established, it knows the addresses you send to, your return address, etc. AmazingMail prints, addresses, stamps, and mails these cards for you. This is cheaper than you can do it yourself for sure. People love to get these cards. I send them all the time to people to say thanks to a hike leader, a service provider, a clerk… anyone who has made my day bright… I try to make theirs brighter too. I often send a card to their supervisor to make sure they are appreciated and rewarded for good work.
There is a promotion running where you can get 10 free AmazingMail cards, no tricks, and I get some also, if you go to www.amazingmail.com/signup.php and in the REFERRED BY field, enter mike at mikebaird.com (replace the “ at “ with “@” of course)
