Hot Topics...Is more better?
Is it better to carry a wide selection of cards (AMEX, Mastercard, Visa, Discover,
gas cards,dept.cards, etc.) to be prepared for any situation, or only a couple?
I have about ten cards, including AMEX, Mastercard, and Visa, but only use two on a
regular basis. Should I only carry those two (Mastercard and American Express),
or more?

tell you about if I can find a way to end this sentence. After searching all over
the world I found: http://www.cardratings.com/newsfeed.html."

Review: I love my AOL First
USA card! I've had this card for a few years. In order to redeem your points
for free AOL you have to call in and ask for them to be redeemed. I purchase
everything on my card, earn my points, pay the balance and have never had a
problem. I also, like one of the previous posters, had a problem with a
purchase and the AOL Visa customer service people backed me up 100%. I, for
one, don't pay exorbitant MAFIA rates. Lower rates are offered to those who
pay their charges on time and don't go over the limit. Once I was in New Jersey
and my husband was in South Carolina. Just by coincidence we both used our AOL
Visa cards at the exact same time. Our card was frozen, immediately. I called
AOL and they explained to me that they thought this suspicious. It was an
inconvenience but one I didn't mind cause they were looking out for us. I have
another card to use for those emergencies. I would recommend these people,
customer service has always been considerate to me, I trust the company and
have never had a problem that wasn't resolved cordially and instantly.

Review: 27% interest????? I was late one time (three days)
and my interest rate was increased dramatically. And I can never get any
customer service. I would not recommend this card to anyone. It will take me
forever to pay off a $2000.00 balance. What happened to your internet site?
Anytime I've tried to look up a website, my browser tells me there is no
website available.
