What a difference a card makes!!

Anonymous — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:12:22 GMT

I just redeemed 5000 Chase reward points for a $10 Starbucks gift card.

Looked at Navy Fed website and saw THIS:

Start redeeming at 3,500 points for merchandise, gift cards, cash and travel.*

Sample Rewards:

5,000 points for a $50 Best Buy® Gift Card
15,000 points for $200 discount on any airfare
22,000 points for $250 cash back

The differences in what you get

back IMO are huge

Point limits none.........

Chase gives the majority of its money away by giving $50 statement credits and $25.00 for trying its products. Chase still has the better deal.

I don't know what Chase does with their money,nor do I care!! I was presenting a situation as it pertained to me. The only thing I've ever received from Chase was a rate jack that won't effect me cause I PIF.

With Navy you can get a $10 Starbucks Card at 2,000 points.

Among many other choices, at the 5,000 level you can get a $50 Visa Gift card - 7,500 for $75 Visa card, etc.

I consider that essentially cash back, since I can just use it to buy a $50 gift card to my local grocery store in one transaction to clear the entire balance -- and then use $50 I would have otherwise used for groceries as my "cash".

Which card do you have? My Chase points equate to 1 penny per point. For 5000 I get a $50 Starbucks card.
