Credit Cards Tips for You

The new Chase AARP Visa kicked up its rewards program considerably, offering 3% back on travel and 5% on purchases made in the first six months of holding the card. The revamped card also features a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers in the first year.

Now, in honor of Older Americans Month, Chase will also up its philanthropy efforts by supporting the Drive to End Hunger, an effort spearheaded by the AARP to end senior hunger. In 2011 and 2012, the bank will donate $0.03 for every purchase made with the AARP credit card, plus $1 for every new account opened, up to $2 million a year.

Chase has actively promoted charity in its credit cards. In addition to the AARP initiative, Chase enabled its Sapphire, Ink and Freedom customers to donate their Ultimate Rewards points to the Red Cross in Japan. JPMorgan Chase also donated $5 million of its own cash to help in the recovery.

To encourage cardholders to give generously at year end, Chase is offering bonus charity rewards on the Chase Freedom. The card normally offers 5% bonus cash back on quarterly rotating categories, on top of its base 1% rate.

Tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, the British Airways Visa 100,000-mile promotion will disappear, taking with it the chance to get essentially $1,000 for signing up. If you’ve been thinking about the BA Visa and have put off applying until, say, a commercial break, you’d better get on it before the promotion expires at 11:59P.M. Eastern time.

This is the best promotion we’ve seen since Capital One’s Match My Miles program, which ended a month early due to popular demand. This has been a year of frenzied rewards credit card deals as issuers scramble to snatch the big-spending, little-risk customers before their competitors can get to them. Hopefully the termination of the two big 100,000-mile programs is not a signal of the end of an era – and truthfully, there’s no reason to take it as such. Banks are still lending scared, so they’ll seek out low credit risks, and if the Durbin Amendment is implemented as planned, they’ll have even more of an incentive to push people to pay with credit rather than debit.

The British Airways Visa shells out 50,000 miles after your first purchase, plus another 50,000 if you spend $2,500 in the first three months.

The 100k-mile signing bonus is enough to earn two transatlantic flights on British Airways, business class, to France, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.K., to name a few. If you go coach
