What type of card is Bold/Plus?
« on: October 24, 2012, 03:43:20 AM »
Posted here as not to clutter the CC forum.

You get the Bold/Plus card for 50k sign up bonus and spend the 50k at OD. You then sell your points and rinse and repeat. Would you consider this a cask back or miles/points card?

What if I change that to "you sell your points for CASH" does that make a difference?

I need another cash back card in my arsenal for my crusade against miles/points cards.  ;D

No difference. Your crusade will go down in history like the rest of them, a lot of bloodshed, no long term victory :P

It would be a points card that would give you a better return then any other cb cc (except for citizens? )

The reason why miles are worth more than cb is bec you can get more then 1cpm , as opposed to cb where each percent is worth only 1 cent.

In this case, even for people that don't fly much (like yourself ) , you'll still be taking advantage of the benefit of more then 1 cpp.
