Hey guys,
I would like to get a Visa CC so I can take advantage of visa checkout discounts at stores like BestBuy.com . I would like however to get the most money value back from my purchase, whether in form of points or cashback. I find myself purchasing equipment worth $2,500-$5,000 on the average month. I don't need to get money out of this at this moment, but I'd like to get the most money value back out of my purchase for use later, for example if there was a visa card that gave me a lot of points per purchase that would have a high value later or a high percentage cashback, that would be the type of card I am looking for.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which card would be most beneficial to me in this case? Visa specifically.

Thank you!!

You don't need a Visa card to use visa checkout

Alteva,
Your question is: On what credit card can I earn the most points for my regular purchases, and have those points wait for me until I want to use them?
Answer:
There are credit cards that earn you points toward specific airlines, OR you can earn that credit card's own points that can be moved to your choice of airline/hotel from the credit card partners.  These are obviously more versatile.
Chase points- UR- Ultimate Rewards
AMEX points - MR- Member Rewards


Or  You can earn 'cash back' in the form of  a cash credit on your statement. 


Start your information quest by reading some of the various threads listed here: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=23990.0
particularly: credit card comparison chart:  http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=25991.0


Getting a big 'signup' bonus to open a card goes a long way to boosting your point accumulation.
Right now there's a card or 2 with big sign up bonuses.

Hey guys.......
If you're looking for good cashback opportunities there bigger and better ways . Points and miles , your best options are to buy in bonus times. for between bonuses , ink plus on 5x is the way to go in your situation

I opened a Chase SP card about 3 month ago, I met the spending and received the points already, I have now a charge of $1600 that I need to dispute, that will put me below the 4k requirement. Will they claw back the points?

I have a Bank/CC question. I have a $400 signup bonus for Regions bank checking account in my email, and I plan on taking it in branch tomorrow to signup. It says you can fund the account with a Mastercard or Vista, I would like to use my CSR and fund it with $1600 however I want to make sure I am not going to get fined for doing this, I set the cash advance on the account to $20, so is there any way this is going to backfire on me?
