Anybody know the best card for charging electric/garbage removal bills (waste management Houston) it's about 15-20k a month. Thanks. (Would ink give 5x?)

Going to buy a refrigerator online (Ajmadison)

I will probably buy some sort of 5 yr. warranty

Hoping the price will go down over Labor Day weekend sales.

Should I still go with Amex for 2nd year warranty or use Discover for price protection (does price protection work on appliances?

Not sure if you live in NYC tristate area, but if you do try Town (in Lakewood) before you purchase. Have found them to be allot cheaper then AJ every time.

Towne was $5 cheaper but would not ship to Ohio.

They did for me, a washer. Probably depends on the appliance/supplier. Saved alot on the taxes.

For Amazon, 5x points if you buy gift cards at office supply store with Ink, or you can get 20% or more back if you buy gift cards at a store with an Amex offer.

Sorry I have not said which card is best when purchasing directly with credit card.

For Target, use REDcard for 5% off.

I want to buy a laptop and debating which CC to use.
I'd love to enjoy an extended warranty like Amex offers on many of their cards, however all my high end Amex cards that offer this benefit all have annual fees .
and therefore won't be in my wallet in a year from now (at least the same account

). Same goes for any Chase cards that offer this benefit and have an AF like the SR.
(I don't pay AFs, unless there's a worthy signup bonus, never had luck with retentions..)

So considering the above, what are my options?
-Any suggested cards to use still?
-Any other service I should use?
-Any cards that if ever necessary I can potentially file a claim with even though the card was already canceled?

TIA!

Most fee free cards also have extended warranty, but maybe not as good as Amex. Also, look into which of your Amex cards could be downgraded to a fee free option, so you could keep the same account open.
