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? -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

Sorry to dig this thread up but thought I would share an experience with FreeCreditReport.com
My parents got their free credit report about 2 months ago. They filled out the form, received their credit report and went along their merry way. My mom was paying their credit card bill last Friday and noticed a charge for $12.95 from CIC*TripleAdvantage. She didn't know what it was so she asked my dad. I was in the room working on my laptop so I did a quick lookup, seems that that charge is from FreeCreditReport.com. I called the TripleAdvantage people and got the run around. Spent about an hour on the phone with them demanding they refund my parent's money and cancel their account. After a while they finally canceled the service but were still reluctant to refund the charges, since my mom was on the phone with the credit card company she had them remove the "unauthorized charges". FreeCreditReport.com does not ask for a credit card number, they simply charge a credit card that shows up in your credit report. Make sure you cancel this service immediately after getting your free credit report or use annualcreditreport.com instead (truly free). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
