    I currently have 3 credit cards but I really only use one, my Chase Continental card. I use it to rack up an average of 5000 frequent flyer miles a month and that's great. But the card has a $75 a year charge and I'm beginning to think there might be better deals out there.
    Anyone have any ideas of what might be the best current deal? I'm not sure if I should look for cash back or frequent flyer miles. I do know I don't want a yearly fee.
    Thanks.

    I have the Cross Country Beryllium and a La Quinta MasterCard Gold ~ I highly recommend both of these credit cards.

    Uh huh. Yonkers, you may want to do a quick google search for "cross country bank" and see what you get before you get one of their cards....

    Wow, lots of unsatisfied people.

    KingCheetah, what do you like about those two cards?

    I pay mine off each month so I don't care about interest rates.

    The prestige of the Cross Country Beryllium is unmatched ~ when I lay that down at the strip club I get results.

    I can't find a thing on these cards. Beryllium is a metal used in making nuclear weapons. Are you yankin my chain?

    Everybody should have a Discover card. Their customer service is next to none.

    I can't remember the last time I called my credit card company - I hope I never have to. :D
