The obvious answer is AMEX. Since you have chase you should qualify for it

I checked out Amex but I didn't see many dining rewards offered by their rewards program??
With Chase I get Red Lobster/Olive Garden certificates.
With my Sears gold card I get Denny's and Pizza Hut coupons.
I LOVE eating out at all 4 of these places BUT would love to add on more.
I charge up to $20,000 per month and pay it off each month so my points can REALLY add up fast. Today I just got a FREE snowblower at Sears with my points. (Winter is coming SOON here in WI)
My Fico score is 706 at this moment. I pay all balances by their due date. I just want MORE reward choices!!
Are there different Amex rewards card options??
Thanks for the help! Tracy

Someday, I am gonna be like that! I think it is fantastic that you have the credit card providers eating out of your hand instead of vice versa. Keep up the good work! I don't get any rewards for my cards-one of them I get to pay a monthly fee for the privlege of them gouging my wallet with bad interest rates. Someday, though, they are gonna buy me snowblowers and take me to dinner every month.

Hey, I didn't get to the place I am OVERNIGHT!! I hope you can come join me sometime! I'm at a place where I HATE to spend ANY money than I have to. I am VERY careful with my money. I REALLY decide IF I REALLY need the items I'm purchasing. I try to buy smart. Most of my credit card purchases are business related that's how I can rack up the points. I also try to be frugal. I find smart ways to save money since a penny saved is a penny earned. I don't think I'm a tightwad. Just take advantage of special offers. 2 Great examples is that just today I got 6 reams of paper FREE at Office Depot for turning in empty cartridges. Office Depot (at least here) gives you a FREE ream of paper for each empty ink cartridge. So I end up getting ALL of my paper FREE! Yes I do have to buy ink BUT I have to buy it anyway for my business. Then today I gathered up all my Deli coupons and for each 35 I have I get a free pizza. I had over 70 coupons so I get 2 FREE pizzas now. I got the coupons for each $5 purchase at this deli I go to quite often. I would go there coupons or no coupons BUT I like getting the coupons to add together to get FREE pizzas.
I REALLY feel bad to hear SO many people are in debt nowadays. I WISH I could teach those people my savy skills. It feels SO GREAT not to have ANY debt. For 10 years I had 10,000 personal debt and it took me 10 years to finally crack down and pay it off. Then 6 months after I started my business I got $25,000 in debt. For 4 years I sat with it paying JUST the interest which was all of my minimum payment. I cracked down and in JUST 6 months by working my business 16-20 hours a day I payed it ALL off AND also quite my "regular job". Now I JUST do my business.
I wish I could teach people to stay out of debt. It feels SO great! I also actually have fun working to stay out of debt. It's NOT easy BUT I do WHATEVER I can. Now each time I find a way to save money I feel like I am beating the system NOT the system beating ME!
I'm a single parent, paid for my house in 7 years and have NO debt and run a successful importing business out of the comfort of my home! IF I can do it I feel IF you change your ways you can do it to. Much of it is just really looking at what you really need to buy and what you don't need. When I used to be poor and went to garage sales I just ended up buying stuff I didn't need. Then when I started getting money I hired an organizer and we ended up giving all my kitchen stuff away to charties. I didn't realize how many duplicate items I had and how many things I had I never used or probably never would use. If I hadn't gotten the snow blower for FREE with my points I would have probaly continued to use a shovel. Glad I don't have to BUT the way I work my credit cards have given me opportunties to indulge in items I wouldn't feel right buying myself. So I make purchase I have to for my business and personally get all the great perks.
I guess if EVERYONE was like me the credit card companies would be in BIG trouble! I'm not sure if anyone watched the Suze Orman show BUT I watch the show every Saturday. It's a GREAT show and Suzie gives ALOT of great advice. You can check out her website at www.suzieorman.com I tell you this because she allows people to call in and write her for financial help. Even though I got it pretty much together I still learn from her. I also like to watch her show to her say people like me are rare to be in the postion we are in. It's nice to hear since it hasn't been an easy road getting there! I wish I could bottle this part of myself and give it to others. IF I could I sure would. However after reading through many posts on here it seems many of you are learning how to work the credit cards to your benefit!

Congrats on your accomplishments! Besides Amex, another credit card that comes to mind is Citicorp's Diners Club who deducts 20% automatically of your restaurant bill once you receive your statement and points or miles once accumulated, never expire, If my memory serves me correctly.
