Best CC for reward points

[B+Shooter]

I'm looking at starting a new job that would require me getting a credit card for an expense account. I have talked to a few of the employees who take fully advantage of the incentive points. I have been trying to figure out which card would may offer the best "warrior benefits" Does anyone have any suggestions?

My first thought is tell the company to give you a card, I have never been fond of putting up my own capital taking risk of not being paid or being paid slowly with no overhead charged to the person I am working for.

That might not be an option for you though so I will say I use a Cabela's card for personal stuff and a Wells Fargo reward credit card for business, the Wells Fargo one builds points that can be put toward ANY approved airline as well as a bunch of other stuff, that was what sold me.

I personally use Discover and Cabelas CCs.

Okay, Cabelas is a good suggestion... I would probably do Bass Pro since we have one local. I have seen cash back and travel points. I wondered what other rewards were out there- fuel or other things?

If you travel alot, go for something with solid FF miles rewards. Buy currency (coins) from the US Mint, deposit it, and use it to pay off the balance before it accrues interest, and you can rack up free trip after free trip.

If not, go with a solid cash back program, and do the same thing.

I use a Barclay's Choice Motels Visa card. Every purchase gets me points for a free motel stay at any in the Choice Motels group. I use these in the summer for traveling to gun tournaments. Airlines miles do me no good, don't do air travel much anymore, neither do I buy much from Bass Pro nor Cabela's. The motel points is the best plan for my needs.

Dicover Escape is a good choice.
No annual fee, earns a good ratio of points to dollars spent that are easy to redeem or apply towards travel.

I've always understood there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. All those credit card points get paid for somehow. I'd select a card on some other basis.

For most that is probably true. But, if you are like me, I pay off my balance each month. I could care less what the interest is. So eliminating that factor, I want a card that will give me something. I am going to use one anyway, so why not get something back? I used to have a cash back card, but now most of those limit to $300 a year back at most (I think Discover might be $500). That might work for some, but I was going over without the reward. So at the time, a couple years ago, I decided to go with an airline card. I do a bit of traveling and it has come in handy. I have a Citi Cards American Airline one. It has worked pretty well. However, I've been meaning to look and see if there is something better now.
