I need a credit card.
I know very little about what I want.
It's important that it will collect airline miles and I'd like for it to have some sort of reward points too.
I obviously would like a low interest rate.
I don't mind a small annual fee.
I bank at Wells Fargo if it helps.
Any suggestions?

well i think the coolest thing you can do is take advantage of the no interest financing you can get on from a lot of retail stores. helps you build credit and pay no interest and get a really cool TV/fridge/washer/dryer/whatever makes ya happy smile.gif

back in december i bought my 61" samsung DLP + stand + xbox 360 + games/controllers/etc and spent about $3500 total. they had no interest until 2010 for any purchase over $1000 from the video dept.
