Choose The Right Card For Grocery Bonuses When Food Shopping Internationally
We know that there are certain cards where you earn bonus points at supermarkets. In fact, you can learn a lot about these cards here.
However, be careful, if you are traveling overseas, some cards only offer bonus points when you use them at U.S supermarkets. It seems as if American Express rewards you for only food shopping in the good old USA. The American Express Premier Rewards Gold Card, Amex Everyday Preferred, Amex Everyday and the and the Hilton HHonors American Express card, only offer the supermarket bonus in U.S supermarkets. The other cards, namely those offered thru Chase and Citi on the grocery shopping bonus list, reward you with bonus points at any supermarket.
Happy food shopping but not with your Amex!

Know That The Annual Fee Does Not Count Towards Your Minimum Spend
Be on the lookout for good credit card point bonus offers and take advantage of them. Many credit card companies offer big point bonuses when you meet certain minimum spend requirements in a given amount of time. In addition, within many of these offers, the annual fee is waived the first year. Recently, Rob and I got credit cards that yielded us 245,000 miles and points!
One of my tips for earning extra points and miles was to apply for cards that offer sign-up bonuses and then get the bonus! How do you get the bonus? You get the bonus by meeting minimum spend requirements in the required amount of time (most of the time, 3 months).
If you are anything like me and you plan on retiring this new card once you hit the minimum spend, make sure you actually hit it. One important thing to note is that annual fees do not count towards the minimum spend requirement. This minimum spend requirement must be met with purchases. Be mindful of this fact and keep racking up those bonuses!!!
