Wife & I have a Wells Fargo MasterCard which we think is OK. We get about 1% back in various rewards. This can literally be cash equivalents in that they will issue major store gift certificates that return the 1%. But they also have a travel benifit which I have not been able to determine its value. You have to call them 30 days in advance, generally I can do that but their deals only seem good compared to regular rates. MY wife sees this as cheap flights because its "paid for" but I see it as a loss of cash as I look at our rewards points as cash in hand. Is there a way to get my own travel deal and then apply a credit card reward for a further discount? Or should I just forget about travel rewards and take the cash?
