Read Iceman's thread on ideas on how to save money and, because there were so many people mentioning the use of credit cards, thought it might be good to ask what card everyone is using to get the best rebates, rewards, etc.
I mostly use my HSBC 2% cash back for all purchases and a Chase BP gas card that gets me 5% back on gas purchases.
Also, if you guys really like eating out, you should register your cards at the rewardsnetwork.com, there are a lot of restaurants that are part of the network and you get between 10-20% back from whatever you charge on your card at the restaurant, including alcohol and gratuity. Personally, I love eating out and I waste entirely too much money on that weakness. It helps that I've gotten a few thousand dollars back over the past year or so by eating at restaurants that are part of the network.
