Any good credit cards out there?
My card is getting bought out by Chase, and they want to charge me 3 percent every time I buy something in a foreign currency.

Also would like a card that gives me more than 15 days between the time I receive the bill and the time they have tor receive my payment.

Your suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

3. A check card is better
if not that, try a credit union, they tend to be less greedy than the big banks.

4. NOT Capitol One
and NOT Southwest Airlines. ( My daughter's SWA card was bought by Chase and they are giving her hell about a fraudulent charge on her card. ) Try a credit union; some such as Kinecta are open to all.

6. no
avoid them at all costs

You'd probably do better to get a checking account w/ a line of credit on it, and have a debit card for that account.

9. Citi Card is pretty good. Cash back on every purchase of 1 % and
5% on gas, grocieres etc. Put everything you buy on the card like I do, water bills, doctor etc and that 1% and the 5% can add up quick to some nice money back.

10. Okay, thanks all
I think that credit cards make money from the SELLER as well as from the buyer (fees or interest, if you don't pay off the balance every month, like I do, heh), so yeah, they ought to give you something back.
